I really wanted a lot of snow, but we haven’t gotten it. The big bosses told us we could go home at 2:00, but I was the only one in my department who had left by the time I got out of there at 2:30. The drive home was uneventful, there was not much snow, just a lot of ice. The roads I drive on are mostly freeways, though so they were all clear. Maybe a miracle will happen and the snow will pile up overnight, giving me a snow day. It won’t happen, but I can dream.
I have been teaching HTML on my lunch hour at work and last week one of my coworkers came to me and asked if I could help her with a website for the ice cream parlor she and her husband own. The two gals in my HTML “class” agreed to help her and so we created her site. You can see it here… Carousel’s Ice Cream. She’s pretty happy with it and she is going to give it to her husband as a Valentine’s Day gift. I guess if I can’t have love of my own I can contribute to someone else’s. (bit of self pit there, ya think?)
I have been watching Beauty and the Geek and I am happy that Nate is going to the finals tomorrow night. I like him so much. He reminds me of my old friend, Chris. He’s kind and unassuming and yet very sexy. Unfortunately, his partner in the game is a selfish, mindless, thoughtless, classless loser and if he wins she wins. I don’t know whether to root for Nate or root against CeeCee. Maybe there could be a compromise, Nate wins and CeeCee gets hit by a bus. That works for me.
I got only 1500 words done yesterday and just over 400 today. I’m going to have to throw all of that out, too, which stinks. But, according to the rules, even if I can’t use it, it counts. The ending of this stupid book is taking longer to write than half of the rest of the book. While I was driving home tonight, I came up with another solution to some of the problems I’m having with the ending. I should have come home and started writing while I was still excited, but first there was dinner, and then we watched TV and then I watched more TV and now it’s almost 10:00 and all I’ve accomplished is emptying out some of the shows on my TiVo. I get so mad at myself. It’s like when you know you shouldn’t have those cookies, but you just can’t stop. Then all of your hard work gets wasted. That’s the story of my life. Wanna read it?
