Snowed In!

Nine days until Christmas!

News today is that it snowed! Really snowed! I have not seen snow for three years so this is a sight to behold. White everywhere, and as I write this, it is still comming down. We are supposed to get a foot of it max.

Due to the road conditions though, they had to cancel Services. Let me tell you, that is a rare thing! I think it is only happened a max of five times since I was baptized in 1992!

The dogs are having a blast playing in it! My camera is down or I would have photos of this!

In other news:

I got news that repairs to the laptop will cost close to 200 dollars. Good thing is that the tech is willing to do it at my house after the holidays because I have a love for learning things like that.
It was the motherboard that blew and he said that it has been on it's way out for some time. Replacing it wil prolly fix the sound issues and the USB detection issues too, seeing everything is on the board.

Bad news is that I prolly won't have it done till February or March becuase I won't have the money until then, but I have my desktop until then. *grins*

On the writing front:

One of my books disappeared in the rearrangement of the front room for the putting up of the Christmas Tree. It has my idea journal with it too. I am convinced that I will find it when we put things back the way they were. Things for work on my YA is gonna go slow because of that.

I am also working on the background file for my fantasy book.
I plan on being well prepared for next year's NaNoWrimo! I actually loved the challange of it, even though my bronchitis chose to flare up and got in the way!

I did my most when the house was silent and everyone was sleeping. I also was tuned into Kzion radio or listening to the stream of BYU TV.

I am going to go watch the snow fall, which it is doing alot of right now and try to get the dogs to come indoors!

A Girl and Her Dog.....

Friday I adopted a dog. He is a 10 year-old black Spaniel named Chase. I will begin attending obiedence classes with him on Monday.

He is going blind and they would have put him to sleep had my dad not brought him to me. He sticks to me like glue and is often called my Mansy.

There are others in the household who are not too happy with this turn of events, namely my cousin. She is doing much complaining and I am fighting to keep my cool.

On the NaNoWriMo front the word count total came out to a total of 16,014 words. I don't consider this to be a failure seeing I was unable to start at all last year. I have a goal for next year and the head of our area said that to take it as a race against yourself and to go at your own pace.

That is sound advice that I am gonna follow.
