we live here now

I do like the beach in October, although when we would go to the one in Michigan, it was much cooler. But never mind, Tybee: you have pirates, and warm water, and a little complex of tiny houses built in the 1920s that lend themselves nicely to fake Polaroid-style pictures.

It's been a good month, much better than this time last year, when the car purchase and settling into the new place and the busting out of pants were happening. October 2011, you are so silly! But now it is October 2012, and today I am baking three cakes for a party here tomorrow night we have titled LIBRAS, GETTIN' OLDER, and our little house will be filled with the people we know here. I'm breaking in our my new (to me) KitchenAid stand mixer. I started reading poems. The B is reading too. Last night a bunch of us drank two-dollar Yuengling tallboys and pulled sixteen Dr. Seuss titles out of our collective heads and crushed the locals at trivia.

We live here now.
