Cloudy in Weather, Sunny in Mood

I stirred up something with that last blog...I was just stating my thoughts...didn't really mean to...

Or did I?

I think it's interesting. According to Wikipedia definitions, republican and democrat sound real similar and I can see where people would call democrats socialists...but that's all I'm saying about that because I really don't know much else yet to hold my own in that previous discussion. And I certainly won't take sides between friends - after all, this is a 'classy blog' :)

Brief plug-in for the Utah Humanities Book Festival! It's gonna be awesome! It's at the SLC Public Library from the 22nd to the 25th. I'm going to be at work all day on Saturday, so I'm hoping I'll see some of you there! We'll be putting on a This I Believe Personal Essay reading, from 11 - 12 and then there's a couple of workshops I'll be teaching, but the biggest thing to look for is the Salt City Indie Arts crew. The guys heading that up are very good friends of mine who Rock Salt Lake with their Amazing poetry, music, and...well, arts. They'll be heading up a teen poetry slam at the fabulous and awesome SLCC Community Writing Center, along with several other fun things. So if you go, totally look for that and them! for more info and a schedule of the events, visit:

So I've travelled in between blogging. How's that for fun. I started this post in math class (of course) but we got out early and I had to take more notes than I expected :) and class got out. So I travelled over to Baxter's Cafe - I was just too dang cold to make it home! Yikes! When did that wind come in? Ooh! And the chain fell off of my bike when I took it off the bike rack so by the time I got that straightened out - which, yes, I put it back on all by myself! (so easy... I remember it being absolutely impossible when I was little... :) - my fingers weren't moving so well...

So now I'm at Baxter's enjoying a lovely cup of hot Chai, which is absolutely the perfect temperature - not too hot, but not cold either. I've decided I'm a cafe junkie (wow, everyone else knows that already but me!!) But seriously. Since Joes closed down I just jump from cafe to cafe, liking them all for their different auras. To name a few, Mestizos to hang out with Nico (You Rock!), Baxter's (though it's been a long time since I've been in here - as in...a few weeks) Coffee Connection, I experienced that for the first time this weekend and the crowd there is awesome!
And I think it's the Coffee Bean where I usually go with a couple of my really great author friends to write our novels. (Or just talk. We do a lot of talking there.)

I'm just biding my time until I can go rock climbing again! This weekend would have been PRIME for climbing - If my group of people I climb with hadn't gone to...well, south somewhere to climb...Moab I think, or just outside Bryce - the arches anyway. So Jealous! That's fine. I'll have my chance soon. Ahahahahahahaha!

Yeah, okay. So I'm going to go now. Maybe work on my novel. I'm working up to the daily word count I need to be at to make NaNoWriMo a success. So far still procrastinating. Procrastinate now, not in November! 1700 words a day for 30 days = close to 50,000 words. I know authors who've done 5,000 regularly to slam in books! So 1700 is Pshaw!

uhuh. Best get on it then!
