| Your Blog Should Be Blue |
 Your blog is a peaceful, calming force in the blogosphere. You tend to avoid conflict – you’re more likely to share than rant. From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book. |
There must be something wrong with my digital camera. It’s putting lines on my face. No way those could be wrinkles! But just to be sure, I checked in the mirror. The lighted, magnifying mirror. Heavens, how long have they been there? Those tiny lines that tease the edges of my eyes. The creases on either side of my mouth that remind of parenthesis. 🙁 How could my family and friends not tell me they were there? How could I have not noticed!
I spent a half a day sad and depressed until I decided I wouldn’t let time march across my face any longer! I had a plan! Read the rest of this entry »

Hmmm, wonder if he ever did NaNoWriMo?

Aw, man! I wanna be a kick-ass heroine!

That’s what I keep telling myself the third day into NaNoWriMo. I compare my measly 950 words to the 1,666 I need to do each day to reach 50,000 words Nov 30. But I guarantee (in my best Justin Wilson voice) that if I had not aimed at the 1,666, I would have never reached the 950.
What slowed me down yesterday (and I am not making excuses) is that the my medical assistant went home at 10:30 yesterday pregnant and with a stomach virus. (Stay away from me, kid, ’cause I don’t want either of those!) So I ran the floor, the phones, the triage, the charts, and the doctor all by my lonesome. But, hey, I am woman, hear me roar… unfortunately, I was down to a ‘squeak’ by the time I got home at almost 7:00 last night.
But, after all, tomorrow is another day!
What a fun Halloween last night! I stayed home and worked on the computer and getting things caught up to start NaNoWriMo today. So nervous about doing it.
But it was fun watching my 23 yr old son. The doorbell would ring and he would race to the door before anyone else could reach it. And then I’d hear him say ” Aw, look how cute you are! You make a pretty fairy/scary witch/great batman.” Made my heart feel good he could be so sweet and kind. But everytime a Darth Vader showed up it was, “Hey, dude! That is so cool! You know what tomorrow is?” A blank look from Darth. “You know, episode (fill in the blank here) is coming out in DVD tomorrow! Isn’t that GREAT!”
I think most of the Darths left here last night with glazed looks on their faces.
Had a personal visit from two Harry Potters, Troy Aikman, and one Danny Phantom. Cute, cute, cute! And you know who you are! And the mom was dressed also. As a well adjusted woman! Loved it! You always make me laugh, girlfriend! The littlest Harry asked if we had a ‘pway station’. I told him no because I didn’t think we did. Didn’t know that son #4 had bought one not too long ago. Whadda I know? It is in a ‘No Girls Allowed’ sector.
Hate it when Halloween is over. Means I have to start my Christmas shopping! 😐
