ahead of schedule at the half-way point!

I just broke the 25,000 word mark!  My plot and subplots are moving nicely even though I am not sure how it is all going to wrap up.  The characters are all still alive which means I didn't have to pull out a catastrophic event to move things along either.  But the best part is I get to go ahead with my reward!  As a secondary motivation (the first being to avoid your ridicule) I am ordering myself a pair of kickin' boots!  But Moose has to promise to hold the box until midnight on the 30th and he has permission to return the package should I not finish.  Now comes the hard part...picking out the exact pair I want!
