117. A new stove. Here she is! Bright and shiny! Who knew there were so many shades of white! (I think you notice it more in the picture.) Explained the new stove do's and don't's as part of FHE. ie. - Watch the lights to see if it's hot. Be careful getting things out of the microwave. And never, ever climb on it. :-) Not that they would, of course.
118. 4,500 Words today. Whew. I'm tired. And while I was doing that, the power company trimmed the tree so we'll still have power if there's ice. And we finished arrangements for the windows to get done. Most of the fall decorations got put up. And I got new planner pages and did a little Christmas shopping. Tomorrow I'm picking the kids up early for the Wyeth exhibit. It closes right after Thanksgiving, and with all the festivities, tomorrow is it! But I forgot to get the chat n chew flier out. Snap! I'll finish it up in the morning while I watch Nie on the Today show.

A Quick Movie Review
116. The Blind Side. The new Sandra Bullock movie. I went to see it last night. Very good movie. I highly recommend it. I even want to see it again.

A Handful of Fun Stuff
111. 3,000 Words yesterday! I'm catching up!
112. Introducing people to Write or Die! It works!
113. Random Dinner. Took all the kids' free coupons for prizes and got dinner!
114. The Primary Program last week. The kids did a great job!
115. Quotes. The unnamed oldest is trying to keep track of where all our quotes come from. Mostly Pixar and PBS kids, apparently. Although the latest stumper was, "And we're walking, we're walking." Can you name where that quote is from?

We're Ba-ack
All right. For all you interested. Here I am. Back Again. It has been an interesting week. Here we are. Still with no stove. Bookfair, Hallelujah, is over. We have a new tree house and windows for the downstairs on order. And it has rained for the past week. With all that, oh yeah, I haven't posted. But something made me laugh out loud this afternoon, so here it is.
106. We got rhythm. Sue was swinging her arms in great big arm circles why we talked. When I started to talk I started to speak. in the. rhythm. of her. arm. circles. And, apparently, bob my head in time to the beat. She started to giggle. Then the girls said, "What does she do when we do - this?" They lined up and started making various motions. Pushing their arms up and down or out and in or swinging them. Then they tried to get out of rhythm so that I would have a hard time talking in rhythm. I just started laughing. They said, "That's what she does. She laughs!" Then Mr. C. got in on the act and tried to get out of rhythm. The funny part of that is - he just came in on the half beat. Great syncopation, but apparently we all have too much rhythm and naturally get into sync, even when we're trying not to!
107. Critique group last night. OK. Not as good as last time. But - I had something! And sweet, kind H had gotten S and I light up sparkling tiara's and giant paper clips for our birthdays. And brought carrot cake. We wore the tiara's while we ate our treats and talked. :) Very happy.
108. Lou had a recorder concert and did a great job!
109. I'm over the 20,000 mark for nanowrimo. Over 1600 words today. This means I'm still behind, but not getting more behind. It keeps me even, and maybe I can get more in tonight. I must say that these are not high quality scenes I am writing. But later I'll edit them up into diamonds.
and oh, yeah 110. Clean laundry. Bookfair is over and we have some!

100. Getting to post 100! Still posting!
101. Lou was one of only two girls in her grade to reach the presidential level for physical fitness in the mile! She has a goal.
102. Sue has become very responsible at getting herself up and ready on time. This is trickier that it sounds, because she has three different start times, depending on which group is meeting early that day.
103. Bookfair has started. We haven't messed it up and are apparently making money!
104. Found this on a blog. It cracked me up.
