Bullets: Achey, Fall, New Word and More

Warning: Slightly random and token "31 for 21" post. Apologies.

Some bullet points.

-I got a flu shot today (free at work, nice) and I could swear that I feel achey and just generally blah. I think it's technically too soon to actually feel anything from it so I will chalk it up to it being almost Friday and the end to a long, busy, tiring (what else is new?) week.

-Outside the winds are blowing fierce, cool winds. It's as if fall just rolled in for real. I think the trees outside lost half their leaves in the last eight hours. The scarecrow is horizontal.

-Tonight as I was getting the kids out of the car I ran into our neighbor who had a baby two months ago. We chatted for a few minutes. I only hate her a little for having just had a baby and being skinnier than I will ever be. I had Ellie in my arms and as we talked, Ellie pointed at the little sleeping bundle in the bucket carseat and said "Baby." A new word! This talking thing is very very fun.

-And the BOB stroller arrived today. It's not as orange as I thought it would be, rather more rusty, which is fine too. The kids had great fun with the gi-normo box. I'm hoping to take a nice long walk with it (the stroller, not the box) this weekend in cold, crisp fall weather.

-The "Project Runway" finale was last night and I had it DVRed but had not yet watched it. I tried my best to live under a rock today but darn it if the stupid Yahoo homepage had a lead story on the winner (I won't blow it in case you haven't watched it either). So disappointing to know! I will still watch it.

Sweet dreams.
