kowtow

Yeah, I am a local from Alamosa and ASC just works for me. There are a couple of really talented profs in the English Dept. so it works for me.....

Is the story you are working on a short story? Or something longer? My life is sort of odd, so I get tons of privacy just naturally. But I always have a rough time clearing my head of useless thoughts so that my poetry will write itself.

thanks.

at least i am understanding the book. because for the most part, that is what i grasped from my reading.

i must keep reading!!!!

as for vacation. i've got several places in mind (all in the US--and i did look at Montreal and Vancouver but figured it was a little too pricey right now for us). but the thing i need to be careful is to not go too crazy about this trip, so we can still save money for our UK trip. of course my husband shocked the heck out me, because he asked if we stayed home this year instead of going someplace, and then went to the UK in 2 years. i'd like to think i could wait 2 years to go on a trip anywhere. but in all honesty, i would not be able to. i don't turn into a pumpkin or anything crazy like that. or at least i don't think i do... but my parents have kind of spoiled me by taking me and/or allowing me to go on a trip each year when i was growing up. and letting me use the family's timeshare even through college, now, and in the future to go places. plus, i like that planning a vacation gives you something to look forward to. kind of like a mini goal you know?

i'm trying to go to a place that i have never been before. but most of those places are along the pacific coast and more $$$. decisions decisions. maybe i should grab a map. close my eyes. point. and say, this is where we are going. now, how do we get there? or i could just plan something and not tell my husband until the time gets closer. kind of surprise him. that would be fun too. now i got myself thinking!!!
