November 21st - really?

I haven't posted actual words 'round here in a few weeks. So let's just do a quick update.
  • Christmas shopping, according to my spreadsheet, is 78% complete. 
  • Project Vikingsless-Family-Room is underway and hopefully moving past the primer stage this evening. With a 2-8 season so far, it seemed like the perfect time to get rid of the purple and gold walls...
  • 1 month from today, I'll be the mother of a teenager. I need more time to come to grips with this. 
  • 1 month and 1 day from today, Sis will undergo her 7th surgery. 
  • We are still church-homeless. 
  • Sis's kitty survived her 1st (and hopefully last) raccoon or opossum attack, with the scars to prove it.
  • I had my first close up with a coyote about a week ago. Thankfully I was on the inside of the car and he was not. 
  • Wy Guy has been recommended for high school algebra for 8th grade next year. If he scores well enough on the placement exam in January,  next year, he'll be shuttled to the high school every day for math. He'll earn high school credit and be on his way to take AP Calculus by his senior year. He such a hard worker (and smarty pants)!
  • Sis and Beebs are playing basketball, which is kind of a new sport for us. Both are enjoying and I like seeing them in a physical activity for the winter. 
  • Speaking of activity, I'm once again starting the C25K program, let's not discuss that this will be my 3rd time. I think if I throw it out here, I'll have to be accountable to getting past week 5...
