NaNoWriMo is over, and I won again this year. The resulting partial manuscript is...underwhelming, to say the least. But I think there are some bits that I would be able to expand upon and use in the event of me actually sitting down and editing the thing into a piece of work. I just wanted to win something.

I was going to use this entry to talk about Penelope and how she's growing, but I'll do that next time. Right now, I just want to mention that it's snowing outside. A very very wet and sloshy snow, so it's not really snow at all, but Patrick's convinced that later today we'll be able to go outside and build a seven foot snowman and have a snowball fight. Oh, the beauty of an optimistic child.

Meanwhile, the hotel is in the process of being sold to UHV so that they can turn it into a dormitory for their newly-expanded four year program. I saw the article in the paper yesterday, and I was depressed all day long. When I went in, no one really knew what was going to happen to all of us because firstly, they haven't been approved by the state to buy the property, and secondly, no one from the school has talked to us yet. So that sucks.

But right now, it's sort of snowing and I'm leaving to watch the 2010 Wold Cup draw. Go USA! Don't get drawn into a group of death again!
