Congrats, Shelley! Contact me and send me your snail mail address, and I'll get your horseshoe in the mail for you!
2) I ran out of oatmeal this week. My brilliant conclusions on this are
Grits are not oatmeal.
Instant oatmeal is not oatmeal.
I must get to the grocery ASAP. Any oatmeal eaters out there? Grits eaters? Hmmm...Instant oatmeal is not oatmeal.

4) Sunday we have Austin Energy coming to our house for a Cub Scout meeting. They are going to create lightning for the kids and everything. Once again, book research.

5) Finally, I am revising and LOVING it! I took about a month off from this WIP which was so well spent. The structure of the story and character development that needs to take place is so much more clear. I've said this a million times before, but I'll say it again:
There is nothing like time between revisions. Take as much time as you possibly can stand.
Okay, good luck to all you NaNo participants out there! I'll be rooting you on while I revise!
Happy week, set your clocks back, and eat lots of (chocolate) candy.
