Update:

I just realized that it's be a week since I last posted. Sheesh... Well, I have been rather busy. I've been trying to work hard and earn some money (which has been going well) and develop my own identity (website etc.) as a designer (which has NOT been going well.)

I've been struggling since the beginning with trying to represent my talents as a designer, mostly because I'm still a little unsure of what my specialty is and what my personal style is. I'm slowly starting to figure it out, but having my portfolio up is still a ways off.

This afternoon, Gillian and I are going to see the matinee showing of "Spamalot". You'll remember that I first saw this play in NYC two years ago and it was hilarious... I'm really looking forward to seeing it again.

Last night Tim planned a fun night out for us and took me to the Aquarium. While I get the "tourist trap" feeling of the place, I really do enjoy all the displays. We had a wonderful time. We ate dinner at the restaurant there (not something I recommend, very pricey and not that delicious) it was really cool to be next to the giant fish tank (150,000 gallons) and as we're sitting there, Tim goes "Oh Erin, look a SHARK!". Naturally I'd only seen little fish up until that point and I thought he was joking, I turn and there is this GIANT shark looking right at me. I almost fell out of my chair. Tim thought it was pretty funny.... Anyway, we had a great night.

For the last month or so I've been steadily accumulating little items here and there for my Halloween Party. The party is now less than a month away and I am going into full on Halloween mode. I plan on putting up most of my house decorations starting this weekend. I can't wait! It's such a magical time of year to me. Especially now, we're closer to downtown and all the lovely old trees on our street are starting to change color, that brisk fall smell in the air.... Oh, it's TRULY my favorite time of year. It's a lovely morning out today, and I think I'm going to pop down to St. Marks and get some hot cider!
