Autumnal Equinox

...otherwise known as Fall, starts tomorrow.  Thankfully we are still having gorgeous, warm, sunny days.  It is supposed to be 28 degrees today, 30 Friday, 31 Saturday, 33 Sunday!  So... yes, we are going to squeeze in another camping weekend.   I really need [want] to catch up on Scrapbook Challenges.  Challenge 37 is going to be a complicated one for me; one that requires a lot of planning.  I've changed my theme twice now;  hopefully my current line of thought will be easier to do.  When I can't come up with an idea on my own for a layout, often I will log onto the internet and start searching.  Have you ever spent hours on the internet doing research and taking detailed notes, only to scrap the idea altogether later?  [Very poor t.v. night]  That is what I did last night.  My research might come in handy for a future challenge so I'll tuck it away somewhere.

When Larry phoned I tried to pick his brain for a favourites or comparison list that I could do with pictures we have.

Wondering why I'm on here at this time of day?   I'm relief receptionist for coffee break this morning.  I am a person who should absolutely never operate a switchboard [and have never had the desire to] but all support staff take turns relieving for morning coffee break.  For instance - I can't tell if an incoming call is dialing this office number or is being forwarded from a branch office of ours that is only open Mondays and Tuesdays... sigh.   So, like most of the staff, I "play" on the computer while I'm doing switchboard relief because you can't get anything accomplished on someone else's computer anyway.
