I won!

I can't even begin to tell you the number of times I have tried to win things in blog giveaways and this week it finally paid off! The "Ellen from Katy, Texas" mentioned here is me!

my prize!

Yup, I finally won something. So now I am waiting for my new bag to arrive! I had a not so great weekend and was really down in the dumps Monday morning. What a great surprise it was to get an e-mail declaring me a winner. Funny how something so simple could really turn my day around. :)


 I'm slowly plugging away at on my NaNoWriMo writing. I'm thinking next year . . . NaKniSweMo will be a much easier task.

What have I done?

Well it's November first and that means NaNoWriMo has begun! A student introduced me last year and I thought if an 8th grader can do it, then what am I waiting for. 50,000 words in 30 days. So far I've got . . . 267 . . . so wish me luck!
