5000 to go!

That was an easy 2200 words! Abbey went (with Christian!) to the mall to buy some stockings to wear under her uniform. It finally snowed last night and it's cold, cold, cold in those ridiculous skirts. The mall is big and brings back childhood memories for Abbey. In other words, it's a great place to write about! Now Abbey has what she needs, but I'm guessing it's nearly lunch time. Time for some serious flirting with Christian. No, this doesn't further the plot in any way, but it's FUN!

Here's an excerpt for you, since it's been a while. Then I'm off to take pictures of some seriously cute kids!

"Eventually, she had made it to the end of the book. Most of the pages had already been colored on. Someone had taken a blue crayon and scribbled on the last several pages. Abbey had some strong opinions about what should have happened to that person. She decided that she had colored enough and thought she should go turn the book in to someone important. After all, it was done. No other child would want it. So she descended the little ladder and put the crayons back in the bottom of the chest. Then she turned to find her mother."
