Happy Tuesday! Not quite as sleepy as I was yesterday.

Catchup: gas prices are down to $1.97, my mom was here for the weekend, new church had grand opening, the Russian is still working on the playhouse, I have a new garden window for the kitchen, another Rudolph day (25th of the month) has come and gone, went shopping over the weekend, it's FALL!!! Despite surveys indicating that it's unacceptable, my coworkers still insist on listening to voicemail on speakerphone.

The darkroom door is one more step closer to being installed, but I want to do some updates in the dr before it goes in. I'd like to have a new countertop, maybe masonite or something. I don't think they make formica that deep. Anyway, new countertops, another set of shelves for chemicals and equipment, and maybe a touchup of the paint, although that can be done anytime. And I'm definitely going to need an exhaust fan once that door goes in.

I'm thinking about going to my mom's next weekend. The one after that is the candlelight in the park thing at New Salem, and I hate to miss it. The 2 weeks after that are the shop hop, and I've already got plans for that. The following week will probably be Rod's halloween party if he's having one this year. First weekend in November I'll be back to my mom's for the crap show at the college and Christmas open houses. I think there's a festival of some kind going on every weekend between now and January. Still need to get our pumpkins, maybe next weekend. I hate to decorate for fall before October.

I think that's it for the update. OH! Gottadeal has opened up their Black Friday forum again, still waiting for the first ads to be posted, although Ace Hardware has rumors out. I'll wait to formulate my BF plans until I see actual scans, of course :)
