Snow Please

Just finished an intense leg work out because I looked down and realized that during the summer my legs looked so fit.  Now they just look normal-ish.  Plus I want to be able to do a split by spring, so here comes lots of streeeetccchhhiiinnng.  I hope I don't pull anything.  If you know any more-awesome-than-usual stretches let me know.  I could use some spice in my routine.

This is me come spring...that's right, in addition to learning how to do a split

I'm also going to clone myself.  Watch Out!

I also just finished revising a short story I wrote called "Fox News, Ketchup, and a Christmas Tree".  I'm pretty proud of it and I just sent that and a poem I wrote called "Oranges" off to the literary magazine at College of Charleston.  I probably won't hear back until January or February, but exciting nonetheless.

I'm riding high on that feeling I get when I've actually completed a piece of fiction.  I start them all the time, but very rarely do they get the satisfaction of having an ending.  I'm thinking about posting my story in installments...let me know if ya'll would be interested in that!

Anyway, have a great night!  It was humid and warm in Charleston today so even though this sounds weird, I'm going to say, I miss the snow from my summer in the Cascades.  Ahhh, summer snow.
