Happy Fall/October!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to wish you all a Happy October 1st day! It is finally beginning to feel like Fall here, my favorite time of the year!



This day happens to be extra special. It's the twins 1st birthday! I got off of work yesterday and spent 6 HOURS driving around Tallahassee shopping for things for their big day. From pointy hats, to Sesame Street themed paper. I got it all! I got home around 11:30 p.m. and started in with the sugar cookies (also Sesame Street themed) and wrapping, not crawling into bed until the wee hours of the morning, around 4:30 a.m. Needless to say when my alarm went off at 8 a.m. it took everything I had to resist the urge to burrow further into the blankets.



Currently, it's nap-time in twin-ville. So far today we have attempted plaster hand-molds - - something I DO NOT recommend as a "quick and easy gift." They didn't work out so well. Though I am sure the dog was highly entertained by the three of us trying to accomplish this task. Though I am sure he would have been more amused if what was being thrown on the floor was actually edible.



All this and it's not even 11 yet! More stories later I am sure, but I wanted to say hi, and change the background of the blog (in honor of fall)!

Until next time...

Creatively yours,

Another Helpful Tool...Muwhahahaha!

I know I have mentioned this before, but I thought I would remind everyone! Write or Die by Dr. Wicked (not to be confused with Dr. Evil)...




... is a very helpful tool for those with short attention spans. It keeps me on track, and is pretty entertaining as well. It might not be right for everyone, but worth trying!

Writer's Block

Urban Dictionary.com defines writer's block as: When a writer runs out of bullshit to use in their writings. I'm going to have to say I agree right now. Though I need to get it in gear as November is getting closer and closer, which means NaNoWriMo is too! Consider yourself warned ;)

Creatively yours,
