Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Because I need more projects like I need another hole in the head, it’s almost November. And November is National Novel Writing Month! Write 50,000 words in 30 days and drive yourself and your loved ones crazy! Or crazier…
So every year since 2002 it’s not been a question if I’m doing it or not. I [...]

What do you mean it’s the end of October?

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Um right, Halloween is now days away and the kids’ costumes are…

Feeling Good, part 2

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

So I know I often come across as snarky and crabby on the blog but overall I’m doing really, really well. I’m very optimistic. I look forward to every new day and I think the future holds good things for me.

If I didn’t have bad luck…

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I’d have no luck at all.
So of course since it’s mid-term exam week for me, the kids are sick. Fevers, whiny, tired. The Swine Flu is in our neighborhood, did I mention that? I hope we have enough milk if we get quarantined.
