"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,"

said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully.

"It's the same thing," he said.

-From The Tao According to Pooh

Just in case you're interested, today for breakfast I had an egg and cheese english muffin sandwich (sam-itch) and pumpkin spice flavored coffee. It was a good day :)

I kinda dig New England...

I spent today living in Star's Hollow from Gilmore Girls. Seriously.

I got breakfast and coffee with some friends at a little bakery/coffee shop, walked around downtown during their fall festival.

I also bought a hat and a book...both very exciting. Pictures to come. Of the hat, probably not the book.

The leaves are about done changing color, but there is still a tree here or there that takes your breath away. And I have a pretty much continuous urge to jump in a pile of leaves.

Outside of my little TV dream land, I saw one of the kids I worked with last year today at a service project. He moved a couple towns over to live with his dad, so I hadn't seen him since I've been back. He's shot up several inches and his voice has lowered a pitch, but he's still acts in the same lovable but always-getting-in-trouble way. I'm so glad he is doing well!

That's all I got. I hope all your Saturdays may be as wonderful. :)

Where I'm at...

This song's been stuck in my head all week:



Music snobs, suspend your judgment :) The songs about two people meeting in a bar, but I like the chorus:

If she wants to rock she rocks
If she wants to roll she rolls
She can roll with the punches
Long as she feels like she’s in control
If she wants to stay she stays
If she wants to go she goes
She doesn’t care how she gets there
Long as she gets somewhere she knows.

I'm a big fan of rolling with the punches at the moment. Things are going well...I'm learning a lot about leadership and planning and how much easier some things are the second time around (school isn't nearly as intimidating as last year and we have some amazing kids in our after school program!). Some things still make me mad, some people are still frustrating. But if I want to rock I rock...
