Want to read my failed novel attempt for 2007?
Stealing from Kat, I created a new geocities page (I have one somewhere, stupid yahoo said I didn't have the right password), and posted my novel. Please feel free to read it, and I wouldn't mind any comments at all, tell me if it's crap, if it had potential, whatever you feel.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I did. I got lots of time with family, got lots of great stuff too. Friday I will be going to D.C. for the first time ever. I'm very excited. We're going to go to the Smithsonian Natural History museum, as well as the Holocaust museum, the Lincoln Memorial and the National Archives. I'd really like to go to the Library of congress, but not sure we'll have time. But since my step-dad is working there and has an apartment, it's not like I can't go up some other time just to do the things I want to do. So I'll have to plan to do that.
Now, here's why you always see mom's doing the setting up in movies. My step-dad really kind of ticked me off the other night. He is always saying if I want to move again I need to find a husband, because he's tired of taking care of me. So I jokingly told him that since he was working with a bunch of military guys, and I like military guys, he should look for someone for me. He came up with some crap about how he checked every guy he knew with my criteria and none fit. What criteria was he using? I've never really given him any!! Such a jerk about it. Even my mom finds people she thinks she should set me up with, and my brother. Oh well. I'm on my own with finding a man, and obviously I suck at that, so I'll be alone forever. Except instead of the crazy old woman with a million cats, I'll be the crazy old lady with a million weiner dogs.
I'm working on coming up with New Year's Resolutions. I started on losing weight last year really well, but then gained it all back starting halfway through the year when I had what I thought was such a great summer, but now think I should have just continued keeping to myself and getting things done around my house. But we'll see. Some things have happened that make me think to just sit back and wait and see how next summer turns out. Of course I may be having to move away in order to get a library job, so who knows what my next summer will look like. I do know it looks like I won't be able to take any classes because it doesn't look like they're offering anything I need or want to take. Oh well. Like I said, I may need the summer for moving, and maybe I can do summer school again and make some money.
Okay, time to do some different stuff!
