The weather people said there's a possibilty of snow this weekend. If this was Running Springs, I'd be freaking out. But right now I'm just like "yay!" It's different here because... I don't know. Maybe because last year when the snow hit we were so isolated and if you tried to drive anywhere and hit ice you went down 6000 feet. Now my mentality is "okay if I really need to go anywhere I can walk." And I'm within walking distance to everything (any store I have a desire to go...

First:
I will be a nurse. A RN. I will finish my BA in lib arts, get my BSN, and kick butt...

And oh yeah, the fiance?...

I'd rather get a really pretty card that one of my friends made me than some gift set from Bath and Body Works. So every year I make everyone on my list something. It's cheesy I know, but that's how I roll. And I mean I knit, I sew, I freakin' modge podge! I've knit copper and silver wire to make jewelry that's my extent of craftiness...

I was trying to think of these witty blog titles about my novel for Nano this year but I'm stuck.

This year my novel, which was inspired by a fact in the Espresso lounge (the love and relationships factoid thread), was supposed to be this cute little chick-lit novel that would be fun and easy to write.
