This sun bunny is quite sad to have to wave goodbye to summer again, but this past Sunday (9/22/13), was a gorgeous day, the first day of fall, AND, I wore a sweater for the first time. I'll miss summer, but the fall is already proving to be lovely!

I should clarify. By fell, I mean, jumped, with deliberate force, off the Diet Coke wagon. My plan for bashing my D.C. addiction, I thought, was a good one. I would buy the small 7.5 oz. mini cans (or as I like to call them, "baby Diet Cokes") and trick my brain into thinking, by holding onto the cold aluminum can, that I was drinking the normal 12 oz can of garbage and, therefore, I would consume less.
That isn't exactly how this mess played out. I just drank more baby Diet Cokes. I actually drank more than before! I did. I can't help but wonder if the Coca-Cola Corporation anticipated this happening and kicked me off the wagon before I could travel out of my own driveway? I feel better having confessed that my Diet Coke habit is still a habit. I'm trying again, and right now, I'm waiting for the wagon to circle back around and pick me the hell up, but I'm adorably disappointed in myself.
And...because Poseidon refers to Diet Coke as "Devil Juice," and I asked him to add D.C. to the grocery list, this is what I found waiting for me in the kitchen yesterday evening:

Poseidon and I met in the fall of 2008, on a Sunday night. Our first date was on November 2nd, 2008. We met for beer, then walked over to the Deerhunter show at Cat's Cradle.
Nearly a year and a half later, Deerhunter played again, at Cat's Cradle, on a Sunday night. We bought tickets. Poseidon proposed to me over a glass of wine, before the show, at the same bar we met for beers on our first date.
Deerhunter will be playing Cat's Cradle again, this Sunday, September 22nd. We have tickets. Poseidon and I recently celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary in August. We were at the beach with a friend that week, and we didn't officially celebrate (except, we did get up early that morning to watch the sunrise on the beach) so on Sunday, we will. With Deerhunter. Again.
I heart you Poseidon.

Combining three of our favorite things: Biking, football, and great beer. We biked 9.5 miles from our driveway to Sadlacks Heros (before they shut their doors in December), had a couple of beers and watched football, then walked next door to Schoolkids Records, spent $60 in CDs, then biked back home. What a gorgeous day! What a gorgeous week. The highlight of this week? My newly active self (after neck surgery in January) is now at the weight I was in 1995 (this picture was taken last week at the Hopscotch Music Festival 2013):

I found solutions to two long-standing issues this morning...before 9am! This is especially important because I've been feeling so unproductive lately, and unable (or unwilling) to pin down the reason, exactly, but right now, this minute, the only one that counts, life is delicious.
Problem-solving. It's the new black.
Oh, and this photo has nada to do with problem solving (or maybe it does...jellyfish are brainless and spineless, yet they keep on keeping on), but I snapped it at the beach a couple of weeks ago and I must post it some damn place.

Without a doubt. I swear, after 7 nights without much sleep to speak of, I'm confident I can write an insomniac's manifesto. Fortunately, the Hopscotch Music Festival, in it's 4th year now, was this weekend, so I had good reason to go without sleep. Spiritualized!
