Of Frost and Novels. And Vacuuming.

It’s late, and I’m tired, and I have to get up early tomorrow, but I feel like writing a blog post, so here I am. ^_^ *bounce*

We woke up to frost this morning. :D I love frost. It sparkles under the sunlight, or, if it lasts throughout the day and into the evening, under the light from the streetlamp. It makes a sort of crust over the gravel, and the mud–so it feels like I’m walking a fraction of a millimeter above the ground. And it gives a really awesome crunching noise as I walk through the pasture. ^_^ Like I said, I love frost.

And I don’t think I’ve ever written about frost in my stories…must do that soon. :P

NaNoWriMo is done! :D I reached 50,000 words on November 29th–a day early–and haven’t touched my novel since. It’s been collecting dust deep in the recesses of my documents. Mwahahaha. However, I just looked at it and unfortunately, I really really REALLY want to edit it/finish writing the showdown. >_> *sigh* Part of me (the part closest to the frantic thirty days of novel-ing) wants to leave that poor document lying there for at least another week. Especially since I have a map of Africa to finish for my World Geography in school. And if I decide to edit, that project will most likely get pushed to the side.

But then again, I do really really want to start work on it again. :P Dilemmas, dilemmas. ::)

Vacuuming. I vacuumed the house today, and felt like putting that in the post title for some reason. XP Vacuuming is strangely…fun, once you get started. ^_^ I like cranking up the volume on my iPod (which I will never allow myself to do normally. I don’t want to end up deaf :P ) and vacuuming to the rhythm of the music. :D

Humdeedum… Have I mentioned algebra is way too much fun? :mrgreen: Oh, and I have a new favorite song: “Hold Me,” by Jamie Grace (featuring tobyMac). I blare it while I do my algebra. That is also way too much fun. I end up hoarse by the end of it, because it’s such a catchy song, and I can’t help but sing (yell) along while solving for ‘x.’

I’ve been getting in the mood for Christmas. B-) I’m pretty sure the fact that the radio station started playing Christmas music literally THE DAY after Thanksgiving helped, though. :P I love this part of the year. Winter is so much less dreary with lights on all the houses. I like the colored lights the best, but it always seems like those are the first to burn out, so we never use them…

So–happy December 6th, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! :) I will–as long as I get both my novel and my map of Africa completed. Ha. ^_^
