I'm Tired

I want to post about his past weekend, because it was insane and fun filled and super busy, but I’m actually working today, so you have to be subjected to bullets.

My weekend in chronological order:

• Grew some balls and went to the best and also the most insanely crowded produce market ever to buy pumpkins, gourds and Indian corn.
• Created my fall masterpiece with the above items, fake crows, fake spiderwebs and a bird bath. Pictures potentially coming in the following days if I get off my ass and post them.
• Went on a private tour of the Lyndhurst Estate for research for an article I’m writing. Keep meaning to post about this really cool website I’ve gotten involved in, HauntedHudsonValley.net. I’ll go into more detail one of these days.
• Took a lantern lit tour of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Not only is this where Washington Irving is buried, it is also in the town that the Headless Horseman story is set.
• Had to change the batteries in my camera three times in one day, I really need to invest in rechargeables.
• Woke up bright and early Sunday morning with some serious motivation. I got up, walked the dog and immediately left the house with my bike in the car. Hopped onto the brand new rail trail in town expecting to ride all the way across the Hudson river on the also brand new Walkway Over the Hudson. I sadly learned that they aren’t connected yet. BOO.
• Drove the two mile span separating the trail and the bridge and walked over the Hudson.
• Brough Olivia to the dog park where she subsequently got into a scuffle with a Great Dane. After realizing she had a hefty gash on her shoulder I decided it was time to go to the emergency vet.
• 2 hours, $500 and 6 stitches later we were home again and Olivia was stoned! She ended up keeping me up all night because the toenail they cut too short when she was under anesthetic was too terrible to bear and she kept licking it all night.

And that, my dear friends, was my weekend. I need a nap.
