I'm just shy of half a million steps for the American Heart Association and Dad. I should reach it in a few hours. That's INSANE cuz I never dreamed I'd be able to go that far, I don't know how many miles that is, over 2oo hundred in 10 days!. I've been averaging over 20 miles a day. I have strep throat so yesterday was a little shy of that and today will be a struggle, but....over half a million is a for sure thing! I'm at 484,000 as of now. Plus I still have til midnight tomorrow, so I should hit just under 600,000. Hey, we're gonna put your tree up tomorrow. My favorite and most bittersweet thing to do this time of year. All your ornaments, I love it Mom...but damnit I wish a bigger part of you were here to share with my kids! Got most of my Christmas shopping done, all online! A few little things I'll need to go to the store for, but yayyyy for being almost done!! It's always fun when boxes starting coming in the mail/UPS. I forget what I've ordered so it's a fun surprise, lol. Speaking of your tree, we were grocery shopping the other day at Wal-mart. Bry likes to spend a few bucks at the arcade on the way out. He was playing the 'claw' game and won a reindeer ornament. He comes running with a big smile on his face. "Look what I won for Grandma Joan" =) I love that tradition so much Mom. 2 ornaments of Love this year. Your MAW one I just bought you is still sitting right here next to me. All ready to go on your tree. The new reindeer one will be just as perfect. Well, better get busy here. LOTS to do and I really feel sluggish. Get some meds in me and I'll be good to go. 20 miles....here I come ;) Love and miss you!! ((((((HUGS))))) ******KISSES******* PS. My Cubs...they didn't win the World Series, THIS YEAR. But...we just won BEST rookie, BEST manager and BEST pitcher in the NL!!! No other team in the NL or AL can say that!! GO CUBS!!!!!
