What a hoot

I found this little guy by chance when looking on CB2 and couldn't resist ordering him immediately. Haven't named him (yet), but he looks quite at home nestled next to this plant. So adorable.

We found a random flea market while driving through Lynn today, and there I found these cool German beer steins...I don't really have a use for them but I really loved them and couldn't not bring them home. 

Kenilworth Pumpkins

I took this last week on Halloween.  A local neighborhood hosts a pumpkin carving festival every year, this was the last year they were doing it.  There were hundreds of intricately carved pumpkins.  This set of 8 made a tree with roots, was in someone backyard.  They were incredible.  I'm glad I got to go.

Snow!

We got maybe an inch of snow last night, it's all already melting away with the icy cold rain that's falling hard and fast right now. 

Healthy Living

We had a health fair today in our office. Our HR director flew in along with a team of people to do different biometric screenings (note the band-aid from the blood they took; all of my results are right where they should be, yay!). We also got some swag from our different benefit providers, like a salad shaker, keychain flashlight, jar grip, and a pen.

I voted :-)

Civic Duty

Election day is just around the corner and rather than face long lines on election day, I figured I would vote early at my local library.  Living in a swing state has been pretty interesting this election cycle.  The attack ads in NC are much more negative than I've ever seen.  And I've received a lot of unsolicited advice.  Tuesday should prove interesting...
