AMD - I loved your 11-7 and 11-8 entries. But at least you got to have some fun with the new blower. I may have already shared this but I'll do it again. One windy day I was watching our leaves fall in the front yard and then just as quickly get caught up in the wind. There were sooooooo many on the street and driveway. I know it was bad for the neighbors, but to me it was the best thing because it meant I wouldn't have to rake. I literally laughed like a villain. Then I went to the kitchen to get some water and wouldn't you know? Tons of leaves had blown into our back yard from the neighbor's back yard tree. It wasn't so funny anymore.
Beth - Thank you, and if you don't mind that I ask, which KB workouts are you thinking of doing?
Tammie - Thank you. It looks like the car's fine, although I don't think I would have minded minor damage in exchange for getting to see a bear.
T2B - My SIL sometimes gets angry with people but can't let them know so she complains to us. It's not often, but yes, she's seen it all.
tangerine I'm sorry to hear you've had a rough time this month. I hope your husband will find a job soon and that you'll be back to healthy in no time.
Take care, all!
