The List: November

Well...I know it is November 7th, but I was a little busy last week what with all the candy I had to eat and running this.

Half of team Pacers and Chasers!

Here it is, one month away from the end of the year... I cannot believe it!

My blogging has been sporadic, but as someone who is scatterbrained about 60% of the time...

I think I did well.

  I find myself thinking of things to blog about... 

like getting a new refrigerator or doing 100 loads of laundry.

Mostly, I have found it very cathartic and truly inspiring when others comment on my mundane posts. 

Here is The List Update for November!
