Birthdays, Halloween, Twins, and... 7 DAYS UNTIL NANOWRIMO!

Life has been as busy as a bee lately and the busiest week is still ahead of me! Working with the twins, two birthdays, meeting Josh's parents, working at the Haunted House on Halloween, Halloween itself, and a few other events I am attending! Though all things will be fun!

Now what about NaNoWriMo you may ask? The writing gods got together and I just happen to have November 1st off, the very day that kicks off this grand and very wordy month! I plan to spend the ENTIRE day in my comfiest pajamas, ordering food in throw away containers, and writing my heart out. This year, there will be 50,000 words written by November 30th... no exceptions.

In other news, things are going great! I still love my job, the twins are changing every day. I can't wait to see them on Halloween as they will be a Frog and Bumble bee! Very cute costumes indeed!

For now I must get back too it, but look for another post soon.... ish ;)

Meteor Shower Tonight

This is totally unrelated to writing, but there is a meteor shower tonight! The Draconids! The best time to see it is around 2 a.m. in a place with very little or no lighting. For me, that place will be the beach! My boyfriend and I have decided to head to St. George Island for the night and watch the shower and get good seafood for dinner. It's going to be a lot of fun and a great way to end a very busy week! So if you have some free time, look up to the stars tonight, it should be very beautiful.

Projects, Projects Everywhere!

Currently I am up to my ears in new projects!!! I am working on the new blog, "In a Twinstant" - a comedic look at being a nanny; working on my newest book idea involving a very little pumpkin; working on my teen-novel manuscript (though I will admit, it has taken the back burner for now); and trying to get in the swing of things with The Write Brain Workbook. Lots to do and working over-time this week at work so time seems to be flying! Last night I worked on getting up more cork boards so I can start spreading out more, making it easier to be working on multiple projects.

So I must get back to it! But check here later for the link to my new blog, and more updates!

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...

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!
