Once again, I’m coming to you live from the Township Library, because there is STILL NO INTERNET CONNECTION at my house. Whatever happened to cause this outage must have been a doozy for it to take this long to fix.
Today is my last post for NaBloPoMo 2006. I would like to thank M Kennedy, who surely couldn’t have foreseen the kind of response she would get when she suggested this back in October. Other participants have mentioned that they didn’t like having to post every day but not me-I appreciated the challenge and the opportunity to look for post material every day. I learned to write for myself, and was surprised that people still came to read, every day.
Thank you, readers, for giving me that boost of confidence. You kept me going with your comments and never once made me feel like you wished I would just stop posting already. I signed up to post every day in December, too, through a website called Holidaillies, but I’ll only post tomorrow if my Internet connection comes back. This library that I’m using is very, very small, only one room, and I just can’t keep dragging the kids here every day. So I might miss a day or two in December before I resuming daily posts.
And now, I must sign off. There is a Winter Storm Warning in effect, the prediction is for anywhere from one to twelve inches of snow by tomorrow. I have to take the kids to Target (yay! Kaitlyn crying in the cart!) to buy Ryan a pair of snow pants and boots. Snow pants are required at school if they want to go outside for recess on a snowy day. With the blizzard a ‘comin, I want to beat the crowds and get to Target now. So, good night, and please do keep stopping by. Once I’m able to use my own computer again, I’ll be updating Flickr and getting ready to write about Christmas Tree decorating, my Dickens Village, Christmas gifts, and Nathan’s birthday on the 21st. December should be lots of fun here at Table for Five, hope you’ll join me.

It has been a pleasure.
It is is bizarre that Comcast made you jump through flaming hoops for hours BEFORE they told you that there was an outage…
We had an electric company PSA on TV that told us to check their website for outage information. Doh. I guess that would be my gasoline powered computer??
Can’t wait til you’re back. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts this month and I look forward to December. Have fun at Target!
We are supposed to get that storm too. It was supposed to start snowing around 3, but so far no snow still. I bet it will hit while I am sleeping and then I’ll have to wake up and shovel our entire huge driveway. If it had started today, I would have been able to clear it a little at a time. I think I need to save up for a snowblower!
Hope you make it okay through the storm. I recall hearing something about power outages somewhere up there on NPR this morning as I was waking up. Hope you guys are staying warm and that Comcast gets their crap together. High fives for making it through Nablopomo
Congratulations for completeing NBPO!
I can’t believe you signed up for more. You are a brave and crazy woman.
Happy December. I hope this comment finds you warm and dry at home with a working internet connection!
I also enjoyed the naboplomo thing, I really felt like I was disciplined to write, which was a nice feeling for a change. And I was surprised, too, that I got at least 1 comment per post! Yay me, and yay you. I hope the storm didn’t hit you too bad, we got about 8 inches of snow here.
I also can’t believe the Comcast failure. I’m on comcast and haven’t had a problem. Draging the kids to the library to complete your NaBloPoMo is very dedicated and laudable. Say hi to the kids and topher.
Congrats, lady. You dun good.
