auntiemeeshIt's been a lovely weekend. I talked with Coffee Shop Boss and Wife yesterday and feel much better about things. They are being very positive and supportive about my decision to quit. Plus, new guy is taking most of my days right away, so I'm only going to be working Tuesday and Saturday for the next two weeks. :)
As planned, today was Pumpkin Acquisition Day. By noon it had settled into rain, but as we drove up into Milan there was snow on the upper third of nearly all the mountains. So pretty, with the colored leaves below, even though it was rainy and a bit dreary otherwise. The place we went to buy the pumpkins had been pretty well picked over so instead of getting a whole bunch, we only got two, and we didn't get the hay bale I wanted, but I'm happy with the two that we got. CG and I spent the rest of the afternoon gutting and carving them, then roasted the seeds.
He left all the creative planning up to me, unfortunately, so there is one very standard looking jack-o-lantern face which he carved. I decided to get a little bolder with the one I was carving and made mine into the Eye of Sauron. It isn't quite done yet - a lot of it is silhouette and the pumpkin walls need to be thinned a lot more before the candle light will shine through, but the general effect is there. I will try to remember to take a picture or two of it.
We also watched a couple episodes from the first season of Family Guy, so in all, it was a very nice day.
