So, okay. (Picture)

Just a few things:

  • I am not pregnant.
  • While it’s exciting that OSU beat Michigan, it really isn’t that big of a deal to me.
  • Burger King? Please! I’m a McDonalds girl! πŸ˜€

But…
Most of you know that I write.
Something exciting is in the works with the novel I’ve been shopping around.
I’m seriously superstitious, however, so I don’t want to spill the beans until things are more official.

That’s all I can say right now. Stay tuned for more.

And moving on…

I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a nice one. We did. I got to eat lots of good food, relax, and read! Reading is always good. πŸ™‚ So is yummy homecooked food, like this:


Mmm, yummmm. πŸ™‚

I got a random cold about 4:30am Tuesday. I woke up with a sore throat, but managed to go back to sleep. When I got up for work, I was pretty stuffed up. Now, I’m sneezing and coughing a lot. This truly did come out of no where. Right now, my track record is catching a cold every other week. Yay.

And… THE CHRISTMAS SEASON is officially here! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Anyone planning on fighting the crowds at Black Friday? This will be the first year I’m skipping out in a LONG time. But it’s okay. This is my favorite season–well, minus the snow, of course. But you know, I can deal with the snow for now. Can you believe that Christmas is in a little over a month? I have to get going on my shopping and Christmas card sending. And… now it’s okay to put up the Christmas tree–that should be happening soon because on December 10th, Aidan goes to stay with his grandmother for two weeks. I want the tree up before he leaves. But…when he’s gone, I plan to do all of HIS shopping. You see, Aidan is starting to remember and associate things, and if I take him along when I buy his presents, he’ll either want them right away, or he’ll ask for them.

Although… the Nativity set did come on Monday and *I* couldn’t resist opening it, along with the extra shepherds. Aidan is playing with them now–it is the most precious thing ever. πŸ™‚ Now I want to get him the Santa and the Sleigh…or the Tree Lighting, but we’ll see about that. The free shipping promo ended, so unless they have another, it’s doubtful that I’ll buy anything else from Fisher-Price.com. Chris was thinking of getting him the farm, which would be totally neat for me him. Yes, HIM. Meaning Aidan. Um, yeah.

**innocent look**

I’m going to go. Chris just farted and now the loft stinks. : Good night!! πŸ˜€

LMAO! (Multimedia)

You guys HAVE to see this (don’t tell Chris): CLICK | 15 megabyte download | BAHAHAH!!!!

Aidan’s been sick the past few days, but I just did that video and I think he’s doing just fine now, hmm?

I might have been listening to Christmas music already… don’t JUDGE!

So, I went to get money out of the ATM yesterday and got a HUGE error. I knew I’d just gotten paid, so I was curious as to what the deal was. Turned out the credit union had cancelled my card because someone was trying to spend $300 at Walmart on November 10th. I wasn’t in Walmart that day or anytime around that day. So WTF?

That’s scary shit, but I’m so glad the card was cancelled. πŸ™‚ But now I have to wait on my new one, and I’ve been using a credit card in the meantime. So I’ll be paying it off as I go, because debt sucks.

I got Aidan some more presents today:

Little People Deluxe Christmas Story
Little People Lil’ Shepherds
Little People Families in Your Neighborhood

Sunday, I got him a little Blue Jackets hockey stick and some Finding Nemo pajamas.

I have every intention of opening the Little People Christmas stuff before Christmas. I mean, hello!! πŸ™‚

And… here is my workspace at home. Where it all happens (if I’m not at my laptop, that is). Check it out, and do you see the Ampersand? Yeah, totally cool, right?

Woo Hoo for Saturday! (Pictures)

Check THIS out:

OH YEAH. I got to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire today!!!!! YAY for brother-in-laws who call radio stations and win screening passes, woohoo. My favorite quote from the move:

Crouch: The Chinese Fireball. Oooooo.

I’m definitely NOT going to give away any spoilers, but I do want to say that the guy who played Cedric Diggory… mm-hmm. HOT. The movie was good, definitely a LOT darker than previous versions. A lot was cut from the book–most of it I was glad about. Ha. I enjoyed it, and sat there thinking “I can’t even believe I’m sitting here watching this already!” And let me say that Ron’s first line in the film is hilarious, and there are some great dialogue exchanges that had me laughing out loud. GO SEE IT. Well, on Friday, like the rest of the little people (TOTALLY KIDDING!). It’s good stuff.

And look what else is happening to our house. Yes, this is our house/yard. OH DEAR.

YESSSS! It’s that time of year again and I am excited. I bought a Harry Potter ornament for the tree, and exactly ONE Christmas present so far. I’m going to start shopping tomorrow night during the Magical Night of Giving (Link) at Polaris Fashion Place. That should be really excting and fun. Yay! Also, Santa makes his debut, so hopefully I can get a picture of/with him.

Can you believe it? I am sick again. Nothing like before–but my throat’s been bothering me the past few days and I’m stuffy. πŸ™ So yeah, I’m glad it’s the weekend.

And… I know some of you keep telling me not to, but sometimes, I really AM tempted to give up a certain HUGE dream of mine. But we’ll see. This will probably pass again.

Hmm. I guess that’s all for now. Ack. It’s only 5:45ish and it’s already getting dark out. πŸ™ I miss the long days.

Later!

P.S. The Buckeyes kicked BOOTAY today!!!!

EDIT 7:01pm

The Christmas Lights are up. Yes, insanely early, but hey, in Ohio, we must take advantage of the nice weather! πŸ™‚

This Isn’t Fair

Why is it already 1am?

Long day of meetings–FOUR, to be exact, not to mention paperwork out the bootie and no money for lunch. Oh yeah, and I have to pay that speeding ticket.

Tuesday is already shaping up to be BAD–unless I load up on caffeine and/or Red Bull.

The weather forecast calls for rain.

Did I mention that I have FOUR meetings to attend?

(At least I have a new outfit to wear. I heart Aeropostale and their cheap, cheap, cute clothes).

I’m never going to finish a writing project. :( My dreams are too big, my time is too short and I really doubt my writing sometimes most of the time.

I should sleep. Then I’ll have enough energy for the downward spiral that is attacking me as I type.

*goes to crawl into a hole. takes laptop with her. because even as she starts to again despise the words she has written, she still can’t stop writing. she just can’t.*

Revising & Writing

Going okay, but not without challenges.

1. I had lots of time to write last night, but I slept instead.
2. I keep having Aidan duty. And he’s feisty.
3. Work is super busy.
4. Too many other commitments.

I’m getting discouraged. :( I have so much I need to get done and time is SPEEDING away from me. :( No fair.

Oh well.
