my scramblings & ramblings
Gangked from _benedicte
For those of you who have never met me in person, what guesses have you made about me? For instance, just from reading your LJs I imagine some of you to be short or tall or average or stunning or quiet or loud or awkward or suave or incredibly well spoken or exceptional communicators… what have you guessed about me?

THE RED PEN (aka TRACK CHANGES in Microsoft Word) IS WORKING IT TONIGHT!
I’m hard at work.
I want to sell this story, dammit.

Go out and get a hold of the book Dreamland by Sarah Dessen (LINK).
Make sure you have plenty of time (you won’t want to put it down for ANYTHING), and a huge box of tissues. I’ve been crying for twenty minutes.
HOLY COW no book has touched me like this, it’s simply amazing. I think this is her best book yet.
(Can’t sleep. As usual. And guess what? I have three meetings tomorrow and pile of paperwork on my desk. BAH!)
EDIT: 11/2/05 3:26 p.m.
I think I might have to buy all of her books. I sent her an email as soon as I’d finished reading it, and she wrote me back this morning. 🙂 WOOHOO for awesome authors. Go visit her LJ: writergrl!!!

I got my first speeding ticket. I won’t say the fine. It’s just NOT pretty.
I wanted to get home to:
1. SEE AIDAN
2. go to bed
3. read the rest of “Dreamland” by Sarah Dessen
I hate that I got caught, though.
I knew I didn’t stand a chance because:
1. the cop was a woman
2. my car is decked out all cutesy
3. I just didn’t act sorry enough, I’m sure
I was more annoyed at the fact that it TOOK SO DANG LONG. Now it’s midnight. BUGGER.
Time for bed.
Please, no lectures.
What I want to know is who else has ever gotten a ticket!!! Tell me in the comments.
‘Night!

I hope everyone had a super fun Halloween!
I know I did! 🙂
Looks as if GOOGLE did as well:
First, I went to work. The theme (for my particular team) was California attire, so thanks to Amy’s (verytruly) great idea, I went as a Disneyland park guest. I ran into someone dressed as Minnie Mouse, and we entered the costume contest together.
We didn’t win, though.
We got free lunch (ziti, salad, garlic bread, a drink, and candy). YAY for free food!
After work was Halloween Night, of course! 🙂 Aidan went as a pirate. How cute is he???
You know you love him. 🙂 I know I do! 🙂 🙂
I had a lot of fun handing candy out. The kids were so cute and we didn’t run out this year!! HA. Well, not ’til the end when three teenaged boys came and pretty much cleaned us out (at our request). Good times, good times. I wore my tiara. Tee hee.
Oh yeah, before I go, I have one more picture to share:
Halloween night was so beautiful this year.
Okay, I have some work to do. Good night! 🙂
