For the lowdown on 12 of 12, check out Chad Darnell's blog. Otherwise, enjoy.
8:10 - Conscious, at a reasonable time and everything. Hooray for Sundays!
8:25 - Reading in bed: the reason weekend mornings were invented? You decide. (Almost done with The Name of the Rose. Long, but I do know more about the papal history of the 14th century than I did. Plus, murder! So there you go.)
8:42 - Apple-cinnamon oatmeal: official poster food for people who can't keep up with buying milk.
9:15 - Project Runway on the TV. I wish Tim Gunn would come over and help me get dressed every morning; I feel like he'd be the perfect combination of encouraging and matter-of-fact.
11:13 - Leaving church.
12:20 - Brunch at Lakeshore Cafe, where I always manage to convince myself that the tomato-spinach Eggs Benedict counts as health food. Not a good precedent.
1:17 - Packing for L.A. Sweaters? Shorts? Who knows? (Turns out sweaters were the right choice. The Santa Ana winds don't mess around.)
3:56 - The Altamont Pass windmills, as in, "I was born into the life of windmillery." Heh.
3:57 - More of the Altamont.
6:33 - Dinner, McDonald's, Kettleman "City", with my friends and ride-givers Sue and Will.
8:15 - Dark. I-5 somewhere in Kern County.
10:54 - Made it safe and sound! Hanging out at Kendra's house.
Good day. Next month: November! (Already?)

Okay I know I am a literary cretin but what is "I was born into the life of windmillery." mean?
Have a good vacation!
Of course you still need to answer the important questions -- to your self at least, not the blog:
1. What will I wear on my first day of work?
2. What will I bring for lunch?
3. Where will I eat lunch?
4. Who will I eat lunch with?
Once those questions are solved the rest is easy!

Project Runway! I didn't know you watched. I want Tim to come to my house, too. I love you, Tim Gunn!
Xerxes,
"Life of windmillery" is actually one of my favorite lines from an old episode of Pushing Daisies, which I've always wanted to use in context. :) (It's the one with the girl who lives in the windmill, and the diamond thief, and the pigeon, if that helps.)
I have not yet answered any of those questions, but hey, I've got 48 hours (almost exactly!). Also...see my previous post.
Sarah,
I generally don't, but I'm finding that I like it a lot more than I used to. PR used to stress me out, but I think it's gotten less nerve-wracking for me. I watched a lot of it while I was working on my PR-themed 30 Rock spec, and came to like it. Plus, who doesn't love Tim Gunn? He's so cool!
I love the one of the 5 at night! So elegant. That would be a great backdrop for something. Hope you are enjoying la-la-land.
Oh okay I know the episode of which you speak!
BTW, I figured out how to use the Pizza Stone. Heat the stone up in the oven, take a frozen pizza out of the freezer and place it on the stone. Cook for 30 minutes.
And my wife says I never cook!
Hi again! Wait, are you starting a new job?
And mmm, reading in bed... I don't do enough of that (don't do enough reading full stop really), and I must try to do more, seeing how you've managed to read that long Eco book - I've been nursing a 100 page book on French people/etiquette for about 2 weeks now, only reading it on the Tube (I have a short trip) or at lunch.
Have a good holiday!
