'Allo and a belated Merry Christmas to everyone out there! *waves* So. I'm going to refuse to succumb to the 'what'd ya get?' question and just fork over my belated gift already: 'Les Miserables Performs Jekyll and Hyde Pt 1'. *waits for applause* So yeah. I am also resolving to write at LEAST 1000 words a day, working on various projects (but mostly on the Les Mis story). It's coming all right thus far...
So let's see...last Saturday we all took Henry back down to college and I gave my oil painting to my uncle as a late birthday and Christmas present (his birthday is the 23rd of December). I also saw my grandparents, aunt and other uncle, my cousin, and my uncle-to-whom-I-gave-the-oil-painting's fiancee. Mom, my brothers and I all had lunch with my grandparents and then headed on the long drive home. It went really well until about 20 miles away from home: the temperature dropped drastically and the drizzle that had been falling for the past several hours froze in a clear glaze on the roads, forcing us to drive at 35 mph for the last few miles. And the wind was blowing furiously the whole while, so there was a little slipping and sliding. But we didn't go off the road, and we got home in a timely manner, so all was well.
Now. The day after Christmas Eve we had some family pictures taken by a friend of ours (she just got a really nice camera and wanted to use it) and she saved it on her website as a slideshow. The silly/bad/just plain dumb pictures are in with the good, so here's a little potpourri of 'Nolden Family Pics'. http://entertainment.webshots.com/slideshow/569376945jmQTzl
Just for clarity: there's Mom and Dad (obviously), then Isaac (black hair and struggling goatee), Henry (kind of blondish, tall), me (guess), and Will (red-brown hair, looks like Henry). And of course Javert, but he's only in a couple of pictures.

We had a biggun' last night! Okay, so I'm a picture-taking fiend whenever there's ice, snow, etc and this time is no different. Some of the pictures are okay, some aren't, but you get the idea. Here are some pics of Javert in his first snow: Well, I just read over my story tonight. It's definately not publishing material, and I don't think I'm even going to edit it because it's too big of an undertaking for such a small story, but I have learned a LOT about my characters over the past month and I'm glad I did it. But now, the day after NaNo ended, I'm beginning to feel quite depressed...I don't know if it's because it's really OVER or because I'm not up to editing or what, but I'm sad to be quitting. I have ideas for more (much shorter) stories involving my characters, so that's good, but I'm still quite depressed. Oh well. |
