Nuthin' Doin'

[wednes]

I'm supposed to be working on my NaNoWriMo novel right now, but as you can see I'm procrastinating.

I was looking in this awesome catalog called Living XL with all these products to make life a little more comfortable for the girthy, such as myself. One of the things they have is an "intensive use" (don't you just love that term?) folding portable chair. It's just like a regular portable folding chair, except I could sit in it. It's pretty nice, and I'm thinking of buying it as a birthday present to myself. That way when I next go to a BBQ or some other such party, I won't have to stare in horror at the plastic lawn chairs and resign myself to standing for the next several hours while everyone else is seated comfortably.

We're not doing anything cool for Thanksgiving. We both have the day off, but I forgot to plan a nice meal so I'm just going to throw together the best foods we already have lying around. Probably chicken burgers and rice with boursin. That should do nicely, unless we decide to go to the White Castle. They'll be open.

I'm also not throwing myself a birthday party this year, even though my birthday is on a Saturday. THIS Saturday for anyone out there keeping track of such things. I figure we just had a big, Wednescentric event where people came in from all over to bring me gifts and mad props. I just don't feel like doing another big party thing, although I am thinking of having New Year's Eve this year.

So I ask you local types (and anyone else who plans to be in Ann Arbor), what are you doing for NYE? and if I have a party, will you come?

I got a lot done on my weekend away, but I'm still not sure I'll be able to finish on time. It's a pretty good novel though, so I'll finish it for sure at some point. I love these characters, and I think the ones I don't love will get fed to a giant monster. And one guy is going to die tragically, in a heartbreaking but funny fashion. Can't wait.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

And thanks for the Mad Libs! They rock, and are possibly the coolest wedding favor ever.

I'm glad you enjoyed them. I was pretty pleased. People did them at the recpetion and read them into a microphone. It was hilarious.

Yeah, they have all kinds of slick stuff!

Eep, yes, flimsy folding chairs make me nervous--something I run into at a lot of rocket launches, where people gather under tent/shade thingies. So I got myself a nice steel folding chair that lives in my car.

Fortunately a lot of rocket guys aren't so svelte themselves.

I never do anything for New Years eve, so the idea of meeting an LJ friend sounds like an interesting idea.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringes at flimsy chairs.

Cool, I think you'd make a fine addition to our menagerie.

SPEAKING of birthdays I had a lovely Scorpio pendant waiting for me in my mailbox. I wore it today. Someone at work asked where I got it, I said a friend had it made for me, that made it all the lovelier to them. It's swell I tell you! Big hug and thanks.

Yes somebody is due for some birthday spankins VERY sooOOOoon...

I don't know why I put an exclamation point.
