(work/weather/writing) Terrible Tuesday...

Not really, but if you could hear the complaining in my training class today, you'd think the world was ending. Seriously, guys, we're professionals. Put on your big girl/boy panties and get over it.

Okay, rant done.

Snow is coming - I might actually have pictures for those crazy Californians folks who have been asking for them tomorrow. We're supposed to get 2-5" tomorrow, and then another mess on Friday. Lucky us!

Writing - I was doing technical (legal) writing last night for class, but tonight I'm planning on finishing Three Ships and sending it out to my lovely alphas. Then I have to study - my final is tomorrow, then I'm done until mid-January!!!

Got some more Christmas shopping done last night - bought some Terry Prachett for my brother, and ordered Nurk by ursulav for my niece. Support writers, folks - buy books for Christmas presents!!! (You know, my novella Snow is a great present - and it doesn't need to be wrapped!!! Just a suggestion... *grin*)

January, I think I'm taking criminal law. Can't wait! The only problem I'm finding with taking paralegal classes - now I don't know WHAT kind of law I want to do! They're all so interesting!!! *waah!*

(writing) If you are a writer...

You need to go here and read this.

Seriously. NOW.

And then take it to heart.

(to-do) Before the storm hits...

Tonight, I've got stuff to do while waiting for the first storm to hit (we have THREE in the offing).

- Put together notes for final exam tomorrow
- First batch of peppermint fudge
- Finish Three Ships

That's it. Oh, and make lunch for tomorrow (although I might be lazy and just buy it at work) if I have time.

I love school, but I'll be glad when I'm done for the semester. I need some down time (I haven't even finished my Christmas cards! Hell, my tree is still only half-decorated...)

Edit One: Notes to self

8 tins for hubby, containing:

4 peppermint fudge truffles (total: 32 truffles)
4 toffee fudge truffles (total: 32 truffles)
4 decorated gingerbread cookies (total: 32 cookies)
bag of chocolate-drizzled kettle corn (total: 8 bags)

(Yes, domynoe, all of these are going in a box for you guys as well, plus other assorted goodies. Including zucchini bread and most likely a REAL Irish soda bread, if I can pry it out of my husband's hands. It's his favorite ever, and since Saxy's giving up his crinkles, Argus can give up his soda bread.)
