20 Quick Updates....Ready, Set, Go!
1. I sent the coat back because it wasn't cut right and the color wasn't flattering and I have now decided not to get a coat at all.
2. I wrote four papers last week and I have four due next week and four revisions due the week after that.
3. I have 5 blog post ideas saved in my Blogger drafts file, so prepare for the storm.
4. I read 6 books in November I would love to tell you about.
5. I really haven't watched a movie since The Stepford Wives over a month ago.
6. Okay, that's not entirely true, I did see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire three times.
7. Thanksgiving was fantastic. Nick and I visited his parents and had a wonderful and very relaxing time.
8. Bought new pillows for our bed, which I love.
9. We bought a new car last night. It's a 2000 Honda Accord EX with a V6 engine and it's by far the nicest and cleanest car I've ever been in.
10. Although I haven't commented, I have been reading everyone's blog everyday. Keep up the good work.
11. This week's Illustration Friday topic (Blue) was tailor made for me and it's so depressing that I probably won't have time to get it done.
12. I'm almost done with my graduate applications to University of Missouri, University of Oregon, University of Illinois, and University of Wisconsin.
13. We've booked our plane tickets to go to Hartford, CT on January 1 - January 7 to visit Nick's dad, who has relocated out there for a job. I'm really looking forward to going to Boston.
14. My mom's having minor surgery on Monday, I hope she recovers quickly.
15. We're going to Alton (where my parents are originally from) for the first time in a few years on Christmas Day to hang out with the whole family.
16. Did I mention we bought a new car?
17. I've been watching Spongebob while I work on my myriad papers, helps me grit my teeth and bear it.
18. We've had a few flurries, but I wish it would really snow here in good old "Misery"
19. The holidays are great because you have 8 billion excuses to hang out with your family, which is always a good thing, but they go by too quickly and it's oh so hectic. Blink, they're over.
20. I promise with all my heart. I swear on my fancy new computer, that I will return to regular blogging soon. I even have a major change on the horizon since I've registered my own site name and signed up for private hosting, which will give me a much broader range over this site. If you can just bear with me for a couple more weeks I will reward you handsomely with surprises, features, art, and books galore.
Happy Holidays Everyone,

Hi Megan! I'm glad you're back...I figured you have been way busy with school and holidays. I have been on the receiving end of papers which I need to get graded and entered before parent conferences next week. Yikes! The good news is that my students are showing real improvements in their writing, which makes it gratifying for them and for me. Hey...you're going to be in my neck of the woods in January. I live about 3o minutes outside of Hartford, so be sure to send me a good vibe hello when you land:>>> Best wishes for your mother's speedy recovery!
I'm looking forward to your blog bombardment and hearing about the books you've read. I'm almost finished with The Time Traveler's Wife - I've been enjoying it tremendously. Both the story and the structure are compelling...have you read it? That's it for now...take care - Carla
Megan, Thanks for the update, I thought you were on strike! I have missed your blogging because I really feel connected to you even when we don't talk. I should start my own. I cannot wait to see you at Christmas, check out your new car (YEAH) and just generally eat to our hearts content. Grandma gave me her list of goodies for the party and I think we are all going to be very pleased! Bring on the little weinees! Good luck finishing all you have to do so you can enjoy your time off.
Love & Kisses,
Auntie Sara
I (Your mother) have also been out of commission of late and I'm afraid keeping you from the blogging. I want everyone to know that despite Megan's hectic schedule these past weeks, she was there for me all day when I had surgery, brought me food and groceries, and went the extra mile when I developed bronchits after the surgery and totally fell apart! I couldn't ask for a better support or a more "perfect" daughter!
Your Mom
Just wanted to stop by to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a joyous new year.
Megan! Come back! We miss you!
