Well, if you’re a news buff (like me!) You may have seen on the news that the Pacific Northwest (Seattle and all around!) is getting SLAMMED with a snowstorm. We are all snowbound. The schools are closed, the free ways a parking lot. Literally: the other night my uncle was coming home from work at 5pm, and didn’t get home until 1:15am. It’s usually an hour or so drive. The Seahawks kicked butt in their snow during their Monday Night Football game, one of my brother’s who was there and couldn’t get home afterwards. There’s like an inch thick of ice on the roads. It’s crazy out there. And I love it.
Yup, that’s right. I’m in hee haw heaven. We do not get snow. Maybe one token snowfall a year that melts by morning. But we’re going on day three of me opening my curtains in the am and seeing crusty (it’s iced over now) white snow everywhere. Emma and I have been sledding and building snowmen. Now I don’t have a 9-5 job in downtown, which I’m sure would make this hell, so I’m good to go. Granted I do grammasit twice a week, and I had to cancel. Plus I was going to get a manicure with Jacquie (to make our nails pretty before the book signing) and we postponed that too. But I don’t know, we’re due for another snow storm tonight. Yay!
So I officially gave up on NaNo. Actually it was about a week ago. I hadn’t planned on giving up, but I got a revise and resub letter from a non-Cobblestone Press publisher. So I focused my energy on that and sent it off. I suppose I could have started back up, but it was the holidays and I wanted a break. So I leave NaNo with 30k, but I’m cool with that. I’m thinking I’ll start back up again tonight with the NaNo book, because I really want to get it finished and subbed to NY. :)
I did have a creative streak the other day. I made soap. After paying $6.25 for a ducky soap at Bath and Bodyworks, I realized I could make the same darn thing myself. Not bad, eh?
Ok, I’m off to take a nap. The snow and sledding has done me in. *Yawn.* My funny pic of the day is just a pic, I promise that is not my own creation. Man, some people are just total perves *Rolling eyes* Have a good one!
