Man, today was crazy busy! Plus, I got distracted with a binky picture project for Emma's puzzles on our computer. I've got to write about me and Dani tomorrow, and our experience on the rink tonight, but it's after midnight, and I'm going to bed.

Also, this was my first time counting points for Cat's Challenge, and it was a ton! If I can keep it up, I will finish the 500 in 7 more weeks, which will be on October 28th, just two days after my birthday. Hey, that would be a pretty good birthday goal - earn the 500 by my b-day!

  1. I'm still lurking :) You are an inspiration to me, if you can do it, I can do it. Just wish I was as far into it and you and still going. I'm almost finished with my 3rd week, and that's ALMOST as long as I did in April before falling off the wagon once again. I just need to keep going ! This is it, this is the TIME, I will do this..
