Day 28: Paige Wins!

Our fantastic and fearless intern Paige is the first person in the office to cross the finish line. She's got some words of encouragement from the winner's circle. And she'd love to know how you'll celebrate your win!

Well, I for one am planning to make Caramel Apple Cheesecake when I win... I love caramel apples, and I love cheesecake, but we never have enough cream cheese to make it.
I'm also going to clean my room, do laundry, and finish my homework... not necesarily in that order- actually, reverse that, but the cheesecake comes first, of course

am i allowed to morn the fact that it's over? other than that i've got finals to study for and new novels to plan and books to read.

I'm going to this convention thingy this weekend, except that it'll be totally informal and fun. And I'm going to do that... have fun. I told myself that if I didn't finish I would feel guilty and not have much fun (and knowing how I work, that would happen).
I get to dress as Maria from West Side Story and do whatever they want me to do in that character. How can someone not consider that fun?!

I just ordered my Winner's Circle Tee and bought a bottle of champagne. Thinking positive. But if I don't stop reading all these forums, I may never get done.

I'm going to have a relaxing evening of doing nothing at all. I WON'T drink coffee - been doing that all month - but I will eat chocolate, and drink an aforementioned glass of pink champagne, and maybe I'll even get around to coloring my hair. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.

When I win i'll probably scream
then i'll go eat a lot of cheesecake

I am going to have a cheeseburger Friday at my favorite burger place. Woohoo.

I'm going to have a party with my friends who all did nanowirmo! We'll share parts of our stories, and have a good laugh over the rougher parts that we share with each other! Man, there's going to be a lot of those!

I shall read. And read. And, well... read.
I shall spend countless hours at the library, getting back together with all of my other obsessive library friends who I have been ignoring for the past month, and I will help them plan our annual Library Yule Ball. =3
Oh, the joys of being a nerd.

I ended up getting and eating a nice, big piece of chocolate cake at Buffalo Wild Wings while playing trivia as my celebration, but this was only after I finished the novel itself.

I'm going to sleep.

If I manage to whip out 20k by the end of the month, I may just buy myself a new book and read it all in a day.

Oh, there will be very much sleeping for me. And a "You finally finished something you started!" ring that I've been eyeing up for about six months but couldn't justify buying. And possibly brownies or cupcakes. And then more sleep.

BRAGGING RIGHTS. I'm gonna tell my english teacher, and all my friends, and my parents, and my sister, and then, i'm going to finish my novel (i doubt i'll be done the story at 50K, though i'll be close).

I'd buy some nano stuff, but as all of my money is in hard cash, i can't really. But then again, christmas is coming... hmmm..

and then i will probably dance around my room like a crazy person. and when i am done, i will read instead of write, and then just not write again until christmas. too much homework! this month has been such a crazy adventure!

Haha, well I already cheated and treated myself halfway through this month, buying myself a tablet :) I'll probably just smile all day and tell everyone I know...That's really all I can afford to do right now :p

I just won! :D Must finish homework first (drat!) but then I plan on watching one of my favorite movies (Either Paul Blart or Elf haha) and treating myself to some sort of dessert.
Hopefully, this weekend, I will be able to celebrate with my friends by going ice skating and then having a movie night. :)

Congrats to all who have won! Everyone else, keep going! You can do it! :)

My foster sister texted me this morning and asked if we could go celebrate on Wednesday.

already reserved a hotel room about 15 mins. from home for a Friday night "getaway" by myself to enjoy a nice room with cable, Internet, and a new book :-D

I jumped up from my chair and ran into the kitchen, screaming "I WON! OH MY GOSH I WON!" and then jumping around some more, and then running to tell the Purple Elephants, a lovely NaNoing group in the Teens forum. And then, I collapsed, and watched TV.
