Wow - I have a new favorite website!

After reading about it in a magazine, I had to give Lunchboxes.com a peek, and I found so many neato things. I have two favorites: one smart and one silly.

Is it ridiculous that I can spend extended amounts of time browsing adorable vehicles for my daily packed lunch? I think not. :-)

Well, this is mostly a test post, to see how much I like this Blogger format. I don't have much of a choice at the time, since our trusty old blog ran out of life, suddenly and sadly. So, this being as much cheaper alternative, I just may be happy with it alone. A new blog, a new leaf turned over...it is fall, after all.

To my sweet Autumn, I am humbled by your kindness and generosity. My love for you exceeds even my expectations. Though it pales in comparison to your creative gift, this web site and domain name are a testament to my love for and devotion to you. This day marks a year that we have been together, and my feelings for you have grown, it seems, exponentially since we met that cool September day: I was grading papers and you needed a place to sit. You were so beautiful in the nascent fall sun, I thought "yeah, right, buddy, she would never even talk to you unless she needed someplace to sit." Well, I was pleasantly incorrect. I even mentioned you to some friends: "Yeah, I met this great girl today, but she'll never have anything to do with me." Well, you did, and I've been happy since. Thank you for your generosity and love; I am a much better person for them. I have left some of my cynicism and anger behind because of your smile. You mean the world to me, and I love love love you, my cheesy cupcake.
