Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Ok, making a real effort to update this more often and have more fun with it... that must mean it's time for a photoblog!

It's supposed to snow today. It's supposed to snow a lot, in fact. But it hasn't yet. Can I admit that I'm slightly excited? I kind of like Christmas snow... Anyway, here are some of my pictures from some accumulation we had a few weeks ago. Pretty, pretty, pretty!

Holi-daze

Thanksgiving was good. For the first time in my life, all of my family came here instead of me visiting them in Ohio. Avoiding the holiday traffic was nice, cleaning the house for two weeks before sucked.

And then, as soon as everyone left, I suddenly, violently got sick. (No, not barfing-sick) Collapsing in the middle of Kohl's sick. Mom catching me as I started to pass out from a high fever sick. Sleeping for twenty-four hours straight sick. And now, just as suddenly, (beyond the fact that I have "lost" a few days) I appear to be mostly better. Wierd.

Ha. So the best part of being sick were all the crazy fever-induced dreams I had during my marathon snoozing. In the very last dream, I was working at a publishing house that was hosting a party to announce a new series of "encyclopedias" written by celebrities. It was my job to introduce David Duchovney and his volume, titled "Let's Get it On". He he he... I'm still laughing about that one.

I'm having a hard time accepting that the Christmas season is actually upon us. It seems like I've been preparing for it for so long, that it can't possibly be time to wrap all those presents and decorate a tree. I started wrapping today, and I felt like I was getting way ahead of myself. The forcasted snow for this Thursday and Friday will probably change how I feel. Giant globs of snow in December tend to change my feelings on the urgency of Christmas.

So...

I've been worse than usual about posting blogs. What am I at right now? About one a month? Part of my absence is due to laziness and a lack of interesting things to say. Most of the silence is because I am actually writing a book.

Yeah... I know. Crazy.

I finally have enough done that I don't mind telling people. I may actually finish it?

I can't say too much, because it isn't quite done yet (well, and I don't want to give my idea away!), but I hope to finish by Christmas and start sending inquiries early next year. I know that my chances are slim, but here's to hoping.

What am I saying? Oprah's gonna love it.

I'll keep you all posted! (And if by some miracle of God I actually get published, all the nice people who are supportive now will get free advance copies!)
