So, I meant for my next post to be my New Year’s Resolutions, but whatev. My parents and bro are coming up for New Year’s tomorrow, and I’m way excited. I thought I had the 31st off, at least that’s what Janelle at work told me, but I don’t, so I will be “sick” tomorrow. It’s not like I don’t have enough hours, I just didn’t apply for it ahead of time.
So, tomorrow I’ll be cleaning and grocery shopping, since I punked out Monday and tonight on grocery shopping. Stupid friggin’ weather. It’s soooo cold and windy and snowy. Only three more months of this….
In other news, my trouble-making dog has a droopy tail. She can’t really wag it–well she can, but she doesn’t want to. I, of course, Googled her symptoms immediately. She might have some terrible tumor or something, but most likely she has “Cold Tail Syndrome” which I guess can happen if she gets too cold (can’t be that, cause I made her wear her sweater!) or hurts her back end (slipping on the ice twice yesterday, mayhaps?). Anyway, basically, she sprained her tail and it should fix itself in a few days. Until then she will be an incredibly mopey sad sack.
In happier news, I got back home Sunday afternoon and not only did my toilet flush, but the shower and both faucets emitted both hot and cold water. I’m still moving out as soon as I can.

My New Year’s Resolutions for this year were to post more frequently in my LJ and to write a novel every month. I think I’ve done pretty good on both counts. I was aiming for 12 novels. I ended up writing 4: The Unicorn Prince, Haven, Healer, and The Goddess of Willowbrook (NaNo WriMo). Word count wise, that’s a total of 266,117 words. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Also, I won NaNo WriMo for the first time this year.
Other noteworthy events of 2008 include:
- buying a new (well, “previously owned”) car,
- having a crazed gunman hide in the woods by my parent’s house,
- going to LA for my cousin’s wedding,
- being a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding (and having a slight waxing accident during preparation)
- and participating in probably the most important election in the last 100 years.
