Snooooow!
Yup, that's right, I said snow. Today we had the first big snowfall of winter... a whole 8 to 10 inches with ice and freezing rain. It was fun in the sense that work shut down due to the Level 2 snow emergency ;)
Anyway, update time!
Holidays at the Manor House was fun, we had around 12-13000 people through in a week. The best part was probably on Tuesday when I got stuck in the elevator though... we had about 4 people show up to get me out because they had no idea how far between floors I was or if they'd be able to get my out easily. Me? I sat down and had a nice little break. It only took them about 15 min to get me out, so it wasn't all that bad. I swear though, I'm getting a hell of a reputation at the parks... I keep breaking things....
Lets see.... on this coming Tuesday I have orientation at the University of Toledo. I'm freaking out a little because I've never been to school on such a large scale before. If I thought going from homeschooling to the satellite center of a community collage was a shock, I think I'm going to lose it at UT. At the same time I'm ridiculoiusly excited. I've been wanting to go back to school for a year or so now and I'm finally getting around to doing it. Here's hoping for the best!
On the relationship front, men still suck. I'm also hoping I'll manage to meet a nice guy at collage who will change that opinion ;)
Got a letter from the International Society of Poets last week, they're going to publish another one of my poems. This'll be the third one they're doing, and hopefully there will be more in the future. The title of the book they're putting it in is still in the works, but it'll be out late '08. I'll keep you posted when I get new info on it.
Right, so, that's it for now. I'd say I'll update again soon, but the pattern shows that it's highly unlikely ;)

Keep breaking things? The stuff the district supplies is so ridiculously cheap it's not even funny. I think that the attitude is "buy whatever is cheapest and we'll just replace it when it goes bad in six months" rather than "buy something that'll hold up so we don't have to buy a replacement for a long time". Hell, look at the boat. Nothing like some good ol' fashioned dry rot and mooring posts that snap like toothpicks when docking...
Don't feel bad.
-Guess who
Actually that's exactly what just happened at the Manor. Our wonderful maintenance gal wanted them to get a $600 Dyson vacuum that has a 2 year warranty on it, so all breakages would be covered. Good money saving idea, yes?
Apparently not.
They said no and got a $200some vacuum that'll break within 6 months.
I still wish I'd gotten a pic of me with that mooring post....
So how did you like those 8 to 10 inches... of snow?
I adore 8 to 10 inches, so long as it's not of the white.... erm... of snow, I mean snow.
Most of the snow is gone now, so it looks as if I'll get my green Christmas after all ;)
It just doesn't rhyme when you say Green Christmas...
Then again, I used to think White Christmas referred to Caucasian-only Christmas.
Ok girl - it's snowed here at least 3 or 4 times since you last posted...come on! Put down the cake and tell us what's new up there.
Yeah. What the flip?
I'm starting school on Monday.. been a little busy :P
Too busy for us? Never heard of such a thing...
Funny how she finds time to comment and you just KNOW she's made time to eat some cake...but can't manage a post. I've posted twice in less than a week...a world record, or so I've been told. Keep up red!
