SO. This might be potentially boring, BUT (I dont care and) I need to share with you about an organization(?) I just discovered (thanks to certain Guatemalans, no names mentioned) that I am so excited to participate in: Freecycle Check it out and let me know what you think! I am on the hunt for a (free) breadmaker, and I just know there is one sitting in someone's cabinet gathering dust, just the same as there is a bike rack in my own closet, and sadly, we own approximately 0 bikes - and havent for over 4 years!! Anyways, I would encourage you to join a network in your area. Just think of all the unused stuff we accumulate and could share instead. 
Also, for those of you that know me well and are currently snickering at the idea of me actually making my own bread: I am setting out on a new course in the kitchen; beginning at the new year. I am excited. Dont shoot me down yet, but I do give you permission to say I told you so if I dont follow through. :) Look for upcoming posts on New Years Resolutions. I dont do them actually, but I will be implementing a similar concept: resolutions that just happen to fall at the beginning of a new year.
You should know that we as a family are extremely excited that the days will be getting longer, starting tomorrow (right?). Lilian is thrilled; we discuss the light daily. Personally, I am very affected by winter light, or lack thereof, so I look forward to this upswing all November and December, even though January is still bleak.
One last thing. Jeremy's last day at Natural Foods Market was today! We calculated that he has spent 1/14th of his life working there. We love our local family we have gained in our fellow employees, but are ready for the next chapter!
Let the journey begin.

Hey Casey,
I actually have a bread maker that I have only used twice. To be honest I prefer to make bread without it (there is a booklet that goes with it to make different types of bread -- but I do have a fun garlic cheese bread recipe that we make aournd Christmas time -- it's not in the booklet)--- I was thinking of keeping it to maybe use in my classroom when I teach --- but really it is just collecting dust so I know you have looked at that other website but you are welcome to mine. It's yours if you want it.
love you guys,
bit
Bit, NO WAY!! That would be amazing! Are you sure you dont need it?!? I should have thought about asking the community I already have!!
Do you need a bike rack? :)
so glad you found out about freecycle. thanks for reminding me i need to ask for a carseat (we would like a backup one... but don't need it).
bread is excellent! and how awesome is that that bit gave you hers (hi bit!!!!) you can do it! my goal is to make cheese this upcoming year (soon).
so, what is jeremy doing now?
there is nothing like the good feeling of leaving a job.
:)
