I dragged myself to the NaNoWriMo finish line a few days ago. This was especially sweet because of that late start, but I accomplished my goal. I can’t wait to check in and see how everybody else is doing!

So I’m Thankful.

My mom used to make us sit around the table, hold hands, and say what we were thankful for. We rolled our eyes. We made snide remarks. But she was persistent and wouldn’t let us eat Thanksgiving dinner until we did it. Many years later, I’m thankful for this yearly memory. It makes me laugh. [...]

This is my new obsession. This shoe, right here. Unfortunately, I can only find one pair for sale in the entire WORLD, and I’m not in the habit of sending forth messengers to pick up my shoes from Australia. Then again, maybe it can be my reward for winning NaNo (I’m going to finish, oh [...]
Sweet and Sinister

It’s a holiday tradition. Every year I look this thing up and then spend an exorbitant amount of time playing with it. It’s sweet. It’s charming. It’s all about destruction and making children scream. Lovely! If this sounds at all enticing, follow this link. For those who aren’t familiar, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Then get [...]

Thank you guys so much for your help with the writing playlist. It is coming along swimmingly! After The 69 Eyes was mentioned three times yesterday, I finally looked some of their stuff up, and wow. I want to hug this playlist to my heart for ever and ever. Keep it coming! Still hard (ish) [...]
NaNoWriMo Playlist
Posted in Writing on November 16, 2009 | 30 Comments »
The Write-A-Thon rocked. I bumped up my word count, but my real joy was listening to my NaNoWriMo playlist. Fantastic! The music might just be the best part of NaNo. It’s strange because I usually prefer writing in silence, but music and the push to productivity go hand in hand. It’s halfway through NaNo. Some [...]
1986 Called!

1986 called and it wants its hair back! So this is my chop choppy haircut that is the end result from my stabby stab visit to the salon. I wore my most ’86 shirt (from what I could remember. I was seven years old then) and sang about Jem being truly outrageous, truly truly truly [...]
Surprised and Delighted

This gorgeous flower is called a Surprise Lily. Charming and appropriate to today’s post. I was surprised twice this week. The first surprise was when the wonderful K.M. Walton challenged me to a friendly NaNoWriMo contest this weekend. We were both struggling with our word counts. You guys know how I feel about challenges. My antennas [...]
It’s All Fun And Games…

Dear Guy at the Salon, Thank you so much for spazzing out when you cut me in the vicinity of my eye with a sharp pair of scissors today. I’ll admit that I was disconcerted by sudden blinding pain and blood that immediately coursed into my vision, but your cries of, “Oh, I can’t stand [...]
