I'm getting ready for a big, huge bunch of snow!!!! I'm so excited!!! I love snow days!!! (Remember, I'm a teacher.) A lot of teachers don't like them, but, then, there are those of us who pray for them so much we can just taste the snowflakes on the tips of our tongues!!! Several of us wore our good luck charms for snow today. I wore your typical "teacher-y" sweater, with mittens and snowflakes all over. Other friends of mine at school wore snowmen or snowflake pins on their clothes. We didn't get together and plan this, it's just a teacher thing. I'm worse than a kid. This morning as I was getting ready for school the weatherman was predicting 2-4 inches of snow. I was pretty excited about that. By the time I got home this evening, they were calling for 10-15 inches, maybe even more where I'm at!!!!! So, you can imagine how excited I got about the latest prediction! YES!!! Love it! Love it!! Love it!! As long as our electricity doesn't go out, I'll be a happy camper!! Must close now and go put an extra blanket on the bed and dig out my trusty flannel jammies!!! I will go to sleep early in hopes that I will be awakened by a phone call to let me know there will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday!!! (and if we're real lucky, on Friday, as well!!)

I haven't been posting lately because I'm participating in the Nanowrimo writing challenge!!! I started on November 4, 2006, four days late!!! But, I'm plugging along. I have a little over 13,000 words so far. The goal of the challenge is to write a novel of at least 50,000 words in thirty days, the month of November, specifically. I'm pretty excited about it. This is something I have always wanted to do - write books. This will be my first!!! I am having a blast! So, with that said, I had better end this post and get back to my novel. If anyone is interested and you have time to catch up, the web site is: www.nanowrimo.org or click on the link at the very bottom of my blog. Check it out! Happy blogging! :)
