Excuses, excuses
Well, I knew when I started this whole word count thing that you guys were going to keep me on my toes and sure enough, you are!
I apologize that I haven't posted a word count lately, but I'm even sorrier for the reason why...
I actually haven't made that much progress.
(picture Ally hanging head in shame.)
That's right, I'm only about 2,000 words ahead of where I was a week ago because...well...it's been a pretty crazy week.
What with spending three exhausting days doing school visits. And then Thanksgiving. And then being home with the fam. And then buying a house.
Oh yeah, you know what *I* bought on the biggest shopping weekend of the year? A house. Which let me tell you takes A LOT more time than buying sweaters off of EddieBauer.com (which is ordinarily the only shopping I ever do).
Houses = Lots of spreadsheets and phone calls and faxes and sleepless nights.
But it's hopefully over now for a little while. Again...hopefully.
I also wasted two whole days waiting on the UPS guy which is a very long, psychotic story that no one really wants to hear and I frankly don't want to tell.
So there you go guys, the word count is creeping upward, but hopefully I'll be picking up some momentum soon.
nighty night,
Ally

Just don't tell me you have a puppy. I may cry.
What is with the house? How kool is it? i'm long way off from getting my own house... oh well.

I was so sad for you last year - spending the holiday away from the family - just writing, writing, writing. But I remember you posted a photo of your dream house then - so just wanted to say "WOW"! Who cares about word counts when your dreams are coming true? Especially, because you worked hard and made them come true.
Yay! What kind of house is it? Post pix, please! Yay, Ally!

Congratulations on the house purchase! I'm sure it's wonderful since you have such excellent taste!
Congrats on the house! That's wonderful news! What fun! And the best part of buying a house is all the shopping you get to do along the way (Home Depot becomes your home away from home)!!
Congratulations on buying a house! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

UPS now delivers houses? I hope it's the right size and color, because the return shipping is going to be costly!
