With the windchill factor ~ it'll be 30 below zero today. Yowza.

In health news, I achieved my second goal this morning. Yeah, me!!! :-)

I'm halfway through the Jane Goodger book. It's really good ~ if you're looking for a decent time travel, pick this one up. Except, Jane doesn't seem to know the different between "their" and "they're". That's thrown me a few times, but I forgive her.

Last but not least, we wound up in the ER with kiddo again on Sunday. This is how her teenage mind works: She wanted to try snowboarding, so she took an old skateboard and removed the wheels and climbed to the top of the hill (street) in front of my sister's house. She got halfway down the hill before she hit the rock and went flying. Popped out her knee, but it popped back in; now it's filled with fluid/blood/and all sorts of general gooey ickiness. Her knee is 3 times the size of the other one. So, she's on crutches and will be for about 2 more weeks. I told her next time she wanted some quality family time, I vote we go to a movie instead. She replied, "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time." And then in a quiet voice said, "It was fun while it lasted." She's currently making plans to try to skateboard down the same hill come spring. I told her we'd just go ahead and book the ER now. To quote Holly, *headdesk*.

Cindy ~ I've still got two more goals to go (I've broken my large goal into 4 mini-goals); but I'm more than halfway to where I want to be!
Holly ~ Fun?? I suppose, maybe ~ on the days that they don't cause use to go to the ER :-) The cold doesn't bother me ~ I like it better than the heat. At least with the cold, you can add layers; I can't ever seem to cool off in the summer. So, I take it MM's given up on the idea of moving to Montana? -
My aunt and uncle outside of Townsend drove into town for church on Sunday and then had to spend the night because the country roads back to the house were impassable. That's some cold, snowy weather! We'd take a smidge of that here.
Yea for reaching your second goal!
Kiddo is cracking me up. I'm glad she's okay! Kids! -
Stacy ~ I'm still sane. Just shaking my head and trying not to laugh. I mean, really. She's got an imagination, that's for sure.
Izzy ~ Good question. I would have preferred it if she'd have asked it. She's a funny kid.
Nath ~ I hope she's learned something, but since she's already planning her next trip down the same hill, I doubt it. I've got one large goal that's divided up into 4 smaller ones ~ so far, I've hit the first two goals and am now in the home stretch.
Jen ~ Townsend is only a few hours from here. The weather gets bad for about a day at a time and then tapers off again. It's strange. Kiddo cracks me up, too. I'm not allowed to call her "gimp" or "Hop-along" ~ she gets mad, but she has given me permission to call her "Grace" because it sounds pretty. Little does she know that Grace is short for Gimpy-Grace-Hopalong.
Sounds like Kiddo plans on aging you all quickly - when the ER nurses know her by name lock her in her room ;) Glad it was her knee and not her head!
And I can relate to being cold even though it is quite nice out today. Still I haven't felt warm in weeks! I think hubby has the heater tuned to another setting that's hidden.
And woohoo for getting to your goal. I'm thinking fireworks would be appropriate.
