Month of Holidays: Day 11

I apologize for this post being so late. Day 11 was a rather busy day for various reasons that I am not going to mention here.

According to my calendar, tomorrow (today by now) is Hanukkah. So, I included "The Hanukkah Song" in the playlist.

And, finally, pictures:

The entire tree, without lights or presents. We decided to decorate it differently this year. Instead of using our festive, fun ornaments from over the years, we went with simple bulbs in purple, pink, and red. I feel it gives it a new feel.

The final touch to those bulbs was the red bird for a tree topper. I bought this adorable fellow at Target and I feel he really completes the tree.

And, a final (blurry) picture with the lights on:

Day 12's post will be a busy one!

No Post, But Bonus Picture!

No blog post today. A play I attended with Crystal put my night very late, so I do not have time to write one. (You did get a lengthy one yesterday though.)

As a bonus and to tie you over - a picture from my youth that seemed fitting following yesterday's post:

Tomorrow kicks off the start of NaNoWriMo. This is an epic writing challenge to get 50,000 words written in one month (30 days). I will be participating this year (and as such, this blog will be used primarily as a writing blog).


For today's pictures, I give you two covers. The first is from last year's attempt at writing Wendel's story during NaNo. The second is for this year's attempt at writing the same story (starting completeley over). I am determined to get his story told one way or another. It's necessary for this coming summer, when we plan to start in on Enchantment.

You can follow my progress at: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/422976

Both covers made by me. =)

Hey guys. I'm sad to report that there will be no photo today. :( I'm sick with a fever and cough. I'll give you double photos the next time I post.
