I Feel Like Queen
I've had a strange feeling all day today. A happy feeling, although I wasn't sure why. The words, "this is the day, this is the day, this is the day," kept running through my head. I must admit, I knew what the voices were talking about, and for once they were right.  Needless to say I could just scream. Sadly, the rest of the house is soundly sleeping so I shall restrain myself till morning. Until then I shall grin, gaze lovingly at my purple progress bar, and feel like Queen.

Multitude Monday ~ 21 - 30
Today I am Thankful For... 21.  41,685 words (bigger post on this later) 22. The sound of Christmas music drifting up the stairs in November. 23. My MP3 player. 24. A great choir concert. 25. Ale 8 1 26. Fellowship filled Sundays 27.  The feeling of the holidays already installing itself within me 28. Crispy hash browns 29. My attic bedroom 30. Old quilts What Are You Thankful For?

NaNoWriMo Day 17
Word Count:  30,842  As the leaves closed in around them they heard Blake's scream, "I'll get you Ainsley. I'll find you and your brats and hang each and every one from the nearest tree!"      Kira shivered, and urged her horse to go faster, realizing that she also was included in that statement. So, how have I been doing with NaNo? Well I'm no longer as far ahead of schedule as I was a week ago. I am now only one day ahead, and trying to work my way up to more so I won't fall behind during Thanksgiving.   I've been surprised at how easily everything has been coming together, I haven't truly been stuck once. There was a day, or two when I had to stop

Multitude Monday ~ 1 - 20
My interest was immediately perked when I noticed this banner at the beginning of Breezy's post over at a bowl of moss and pebbles. After reading the post I was even more interested. Giving thanks for everything God has given me in my life is something I've been trying to work on. I'd much rather thank Him for the things I have then think about all the cool stuff I don't have. That just breeds discontent. So almost the minute I saw the above banner I decided to join the Gratitude Community, and I encourage you to do the same. Today I'm Thanking God For... 1. A roof over my head 2. Parents who love the Lord 3. Our kitty 4. My Daddy's job 5. Blogger Friends 6. Instant Mess
