Wow! Another post? GO ME!

Well, this will probably be a short one, but I wanted to post anyway to say that I managed to write 2 pretty decent pages in my WIP! The first 2 in a while and for only working on it for a half hour before falling asleep, I think I did okay! Since my writing is the whole reason that I started this blog, I figured I should post that I finally had some movement in my story.... let's just hope it isn't another 3 months before I write again.

Hope all is well and you are all getting ready for the holiday season. Don't stress to much and enjoy! Until next time...

Uh oh

Well, this will probably be my last post for a little bit... big change, huh? Anyway, there is actually a reason for it this time. My laptop will not log onto the new internet system that my parents have. I'm not sure if the modem was somehow fried or what, but the dial-up that I had been using is no longer letting me on either. It only took them about 7 months to figure out that my parents had cancelled it. I hate using my parents' computer which means I'll pretty much only be here to check email and put in many, MANY, many more applications. I'll definately blog if there is something important to say, but, if you have been following my blog the last few months, you'll know that there isn't much that I have to say anyway.

In other news, I have been reading a lot. Including a couple of stories that I wrote way back when.... so very, very sad. But, I'm hopinh that some of the reading motivates me to start on the WIP again. It seems like everytime I get started though, something happens to screw it up. Here's to hoping that this time is different.

Preparations are under way for the Nut's Bachelorette and Bridal parties....only over a year in advance, but I'm the anti-girlie girl. So, this is all new for me. Any suggestions from anyone who has thrown or even BEEN to one of these will be more than appreciated. I'm in totally foreign territory here and need as much help as I can get!

Well, ya'll have a happy TURKEY DAY! Until next time..... hope it isn't too far away.

Not quite so long this time...

Didn't take quite so long for me to write again this time. I don't like going so long without updating, but when my head is where it is at the moment, no one wants to read what I'd write. I just need to get out of this funk I'm in.

The mentor program was a success again this year. I only have 3 girls this year, vs the 5 I had the last time I mentored. The keynote speaker was a formerly local woman who wrote the book A letter to Mrs. Roosevelt. She was a wonderful speaker and I really wanted to pick up the WIP as soon as I got home and start writing. Unfortunately, I got a letter the moment I returned to the house.... a $4500+ bill from my knee surgery that was supposed to be cover by the Secret Service LAST YEAR!!!!!!! They still haven't paid the hospital. That began a 3 day long migraine. And, ended my attempt to write again.

I'm still at home obviously, still working hard with my dad, but wanting to get the hell out of here. I just need to get out on my own. It has been a year now and my frustration is only increasing. Obviously, this is not helping my funk.

I've been doing a lot of reading, trying to keep my mind occupied and away from negative thoughts. Which is what I'm about to go and do now. Until next time....

Wow, a long time.... again

I didn't realize how long it had been since I wrote. As usual, there wasn't much to say.

P-Nut is officially engaged! Congrats to her and Mike. I was absolutely honored when she asked me to be her maid of honor! I can't wait to start planning her bachelorette party *evil grin* Not to mention the bridal shower. The dresses that she has been looking at are gorgeous. And, I will wear pink, without complaint, I promise!

Well, that's about as much as I should write at the moment. I've been asked to be a mentor again for some young girls, and I need to write a speech for the program. I've been putting it off... not mentally in a good place to write. But, seeing as how I have to do it in a few days, I guess I need to force myself to write it. I guess now is as good a time as any.

Anywho, hope all is well. Until next time....
