Thanks for all of the replies! Here is what I have guys:

Blower motor is blowing plenty of air. I turned on the heater tonight on the way home and it warmed up. Could it do that without the heater core working? When I got to work today, my upper radiator hose sprung a serious leak and coolant squirted all over the fan belt and everything else up there. I replaced it easily. Maybe some early leakage from that was blowing back off the engine somehow and smoke was trailing up through those vents when driving? Although the firewall seems to separate the wiper motor area from the engine compartment. Weird. I was smelling the burning smell through my dash vent (which, after running my defrost months ago for the first time, will not shut off the defrost vents when I choose front only and outside air continues to come in even when turned off) and now it seems to have dissipated (sp?). I think someone was telling me that the pod for that may be easy to replace and is near the glovebox on the left side? Also, anyone know where I can order a new dash vent grill (my little wheel assembly crumbled that shuts the vent closed).
