Cherise let me watch that movie a few months ago.  It helps to understand more of American culture.

It has been raining here for two days straight, something that doesn’t happen very often in Colorado.  The sky has been constantly gray with stratus clouds, and the temperature has been very cold – so much so that you often forget it is August, and you are tempted to think it is November or February.  I personally like this weather very much, but some of the humans in this household think otherwise.  Cherise says that too much of this weather makes her depressed.  I can’t see how, but I have heard that a lack of sunshine can make humans very depressed.  

Something very excited happened to Cherise today that I have to tell you about.  I was with her when it happened, so I can give you a full account.  I was sitting on her shoulder while she was working on her story, munching on some Cheerios that she had given me. (By the way, I did get over the stomachache I had from the marshmallows.  Thank you all for your concern.)  Anyhow, she was about to transfer some of her story files to the main file that she keeps all of her story in, when she realized that there were several sections of her story that she had forgotten to factor into her word count!  So now instead of 39,000 words she has 41,000 words, and only has 8,985 words left before she reaches her goal of 50,000!  I don’t know if you know this already, but Cherise set a goal for herself to get 50,000 words written for her novel, The Prophet of Einehrowaye, before NaNoWriMo.  There are roughly eleven weeks left until November, so she only has to write 817 words per week to reach her goal!  I am so happy for her.  I have been helping her a lot with her story, and it is good to see her doing so well with it. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
