I’m just now realizing the enormity of this whole NaBloPoMo thing.? What a big deal it was to get through thirty days, posting every single day.? I know I should talk about how hard it was but… it wasn’t.? Not really.? Not that there weren’t days where I sat before the empty posting screen wondering, “What the FREAK am I going to write about??”? The point is, something always came to me.? I honestly thought there’d be more meme’s, more photos, more fluff.? And maybe there should have been judging from the roughness of some of my posts.

Mr. Toast was wisely decreed that tomorrow is NaNoMoFoBloPo Day.? That stands for National No More Forced Blog Posting Day.? Of course, I didn’t feel as forced as much as I thought I would.? But that doesn’t mean that I won’t totally enjoy a day off of the posting.? If for no other reason than to gather my thoughts around me and enjoy the blessed silence of my own incoherent ramblings.

So here’s to everyone who took part in this challenge.? I know it wasn’t easy.? And some people really blew my socks off with their “stick-to-it’iveness” (totally a made up word but whatever).? Let us all rest and enjoy being alone (for once in a month) with our thoughts.

Get the word out:

Today was great.? Except for the part where they turned off our power. Yeah.? That’s always fun.? Apparently when Kile was talking to the guy at the power company last week and paying the bill and the guy assured Kile that there wouldn’t be anyone turning off our power, he was totally lying.? Luckily, the whole thing got cleared up rather quickly.? But we were without power for about an hour earlier this evening.? And for computer addicts like us, that’s a rough gig.

But the great part is that I’m more than halfway done with my Christmas shopping.? I hate Christmas shopping and being closer to finished makes me VERY happy.

And what a fantastic way to end NaBloPoMo.? For the record, I did manage one post a day every day for the entire month.? And considering that my postings for the last several months have been few and far between, that’s a pretty fantastic accomplishment.? I’m pretty proud of myself.? I’m hoping that from here on out, I can keep it up.? I really do enjoy blogging and this exercise has reminded me of that.? So thanks to Fussy for putting this on, I’m so glad I took part!
