Wait, it's Sunday again???

Yeah, it's been a little crazy around here lately.

Good Stuff:
- It's official. We're replacing cabinets, countertops, and appliances. We weren't going to do appliances, but we found a great deal. The new fridge comes Tuesday morning; the rest will have to wait until the new cabinets are installed.
- Made some progress on Vicky's room.
- Celebrated birthdays yesterday--mine and my friend, Jenn, who will be 40 on Tuesday. (Yes, I get a new fridge for Jenn's birthday!) We went into the city early to have brunch with her, and then we went to a park to do anniversary pics before heading over to the party. They surprised me by inviting my fencing instructor, so it was more fun than it would have been. (No, we did not fence at the party.)
- Got 3/4 of the tomatoes I picked the other day made into salsa verde. It's in the fridge now. I need to adjust spices and get it canned.
- Did a lot of the shopping for Thanksgiving. One more commissary run before Alex comes home and the Boys come.

Not So Good Stuff:
- I think I'm going to have to scrub NaNo this year. I got 7,228 words last week, and I'm almost 6,000 behind. There's just too much going on. I have, however, gotten some really cool stuff, including what could be the beginning of a future novel about Boadicea's daughters. Excited about that one.
- Still lots of stuff to do to get ready, and I now have 5 days.
- Slacked off on the gym last week.
- Eating has started to become an issue. I find myself snacking when I'm bored, grabbing bites of things I don't need, even when I'm already full, just to get the taste in my mouth. Really need to get a handle on this and find rewards that are not food.

This Week:
- Finish getting the house ready.
- Keep writing. I'll be happy with 30k this month. I'm almost half-way to that.
- Return library books.
- Go to the bank.
- Finish November Powerpoints.

That's pretty cool that YOU get a new fridge for your friend's birthday.
