My short story is starting to take
off. In fact, I may get that sucker finished this week! I was going to write
the ending, hoping to generate something, when an idea struck me at night. One
of those “What if”/“Ah-ha” moments. Yay! So while I didn’t write the ending
yet, just thinking about it helped me figure out what was going on in my story.
I even wrote this weekend! And when I’m actually writing on the weekend, you
know it’s going well. J
Baby Steps
Hubby and I are trying to get the
garage set up so that we can get both cars inside. At the same time. Very
important with winter closing in on us. But thinking about everything that
needs to be done can be overwhelming, so we’ve been taking baby steps.
Last weekend we moved shelving and
figured out how to hang the bikes and golf clubs. Bought the materials and let
it sit. This weekend we actually got the bikes hung!! And we bought one larger
trashcan to replace the others we have (and will dispose of…slowly). I like
tackling a problem and getting it done one problem at a time. It makes it so
much easier to accomplish.
A lot of our storage problems will
go away once we build a shed in the backyard, but until we sell the old house,
we aren’t going to spend that kind of money on the new house. People are still
seeing the house, but so far no bites. L
Football
Friday night actually stayed dry
and the wind was slight. Good thing, because the temps were in the 40s. If
there was any kind of wind… Well, we would have been colder than we were.
Unfortunately the night didn’t end well, and it wasn’t due to the weather. The
Wayne Warriors lost to the Hilliard-Davidson Wildcats, 28-21. It’s nice that
the score LOOKS respectable. And if Wayne didn’t kill themselves with all the
penalties, they might have come out on top. But, it wasn’t meant to be. They
should be a team to reckon with next year. Most of the players will return.
Saturday was a good day for my
football teams! OSU beat Nebraska, WVU beat Texas, and USC beat Oregon.
And Sunday was a mixed bag.
Steelers beat those nasty Ravens (yay!), but the Rams lost their first (and
toughest) game (boo!).
So… Have you ever had a what
if/ah-ha moment? Didn’t you just love it?
Happy Monday!

Glad the ending hit you.
One small project at a time is the way to go.
The Steelers had to beat the Ravens. Don't like those dirty birds. Sorry about the Rams but the Saints are really coming on strong now.
Alex - I'm not a fan of the Saints, but I have to admit, they played pretty good yesterday.
I didn't know you bicycled. I miss that but the knees can't take it anymore.
Hanging them up is the best way too.
Keeping my fingers crossed you sell soon.
"Ah ha!" moments are fantastic. My favorite all time came when I was actually writing, and a sentence I never saw coming flowed out of my fingertips. I sat back in my chair and said, "Whoa."
Maria - It's been quite a while since I last bicycled, but I'd like to go out and do it again. The roads around here are better to bike on than in our old neighborhood, so I'm thinking it's more likely to happen again. My knees aren't so great, but I was told bicycling is good for them. We shall see.
Jeff - Ah ha moments are almost as good as finishing the book. Almost. :D
Gotta love those a-ha moments - I could use some more of them myself. And yay for baby steps! They do get the job done.
I was sadly expecting that Rams loss. Their schedule in the coming weeks look brutal. I'm taking nothing for granted re playoffs. They HAVE to get the defense figured out!
Jennette - You'll get those a-ha moments back!
Silver - Yes, Rams definitely need to figure out that defense. I want them in the Super Bowl!!!
