Im Doin NaNoWriMo Baby!!!





On another note, I have joined the NaNoWriMo competition. THat's right, baby, 50,000 words in 30 days or bust. I have no idea what the topic of my novel will be, the plot, the characters, nothin. I am following the rules and starting with a blank slate. I will be posting the story at the NaNoWriMo portion of the Discover Kai site. Thats rite, another link. The whole point of this competition is to just write, not think about, not organize it, just write as I may. Please check in and see if I am following a clear line of conciousness, going somewhere, or straying off into left field....

Missed Halloween

Today is Halloween. I am good with Halloween. Since I am easily terrified by everything bizarre or weird, I have a simple solution. Halloween is eat candy, make cupcakes, dress up cute and enjoy yourself day. Nothin more. My girls and I have a good time, cooking, dancing, ladying it up. Then hubby takes them to a harvest festival.

But this year, working 75 hours weeks, I completely forgot today was Halloween. I did. And, even worse, I dont' feel that bad about it. I can easily make it up, and the girls will enjoy cooking and dancing, like the always do. I've trained them well. The goul and ghots, goblin, trick or treat stuff, they won't miss, cause they never had it anyway. So I got a miss a holiday pass on this one. Thankfully they will never know the difference. They will attend their festival, eat candy, and go to sleep in comfort, not aware that mommy completely dropped the ball....
