It's an interesting dynamic, this posting in two journals thing. I've been blogging away with LJ friends and neglecting MSN. Go figure. Let's see... we had the drug bust across the street last Thursday, I'm trying to track down their dog to adopt him, general step-child drama, plans for a Hobo Thanksgiving in Sisters at The Big House, and hopefully heading to Germany with Pops for Christmas. Hmm... I guess that about sums it up. I got an unexpected raise at work, which is great, but then winter officially hit with a vengence, and I can't remember why I live in central Oregon now.  Probably something to do with the taxes and smog in CA, but it's easy to forget when you're chipping ice off your windshield every morning.
