11/14 update from mom

Hi, there! It's been 2.5 weeks since we talked. I've been wondering what you gals are up to, and how things are going. I hope to hear from you soon.

I had a nice surprise today. I was going through the mail and say a postcard of a lioness and her cub. I thought it was an advertisement. I thought "I'll have to save this for Jenna", and as I moved it to a pile of stuff for you, I realized it was a postcard from you! Thank you! I've read it at least 5 times so far. :-)

Not a lot going on here. Kind of the same 'ol, same 'ol. Here are a few things to update you on:

• Project Runway starts tonight (and, yes, I'm recording it)
• Seattle has a MLS Soccer team! They start playing in 2009. They're taking suggestions for team name. You'll have to submit one, http://mlsinseattle.com/. And, we'll have to go watch.
• I went to watch Erik play his last soccer game of the season. He had a great trap and immediately kicked over a few defenders heads. Nice play!
• Seahawks won on Monday Night Football, 24-0. They have more wins on MNF (5) than any other team (second place teams have 3), and have done this in about 1/4 the number of games. Something to cheer about given their so-so record and playing this year.
• Puppies doing well. Yesterday was funny -- synchronized pooping -- at three at the same time. :-) They had a minor fight tonight over popcorn, but decided it was better to stop fighting and beg for more.
• I broke my big toe two weeks ago. It's still very bruised and swollen. It's supposed to take 6-8 weeks to heal. Youch! I was cleaning up the utility room because the furnace stopped working when a huge roll of craft paper fell on top of my foot. :-(
• Going to Karen and Mark's for Thanksgiving. I'll eat an extra serving of Mark's yummy gravy for you. :-)
• Going to visit Grandma and Papa before you get back. I didn't get to see Grandma much last time, so it will be good to see her more.

I hope you're having a great time, studying hard, and speaking up in class. Call me when you get a chance or send email. I'm looking forward to hearing about what you've been up to in the past few weeks.

Love you to the moon and back!

Mom
