Back, I am

[wednes]

I'm back from my weekend away. We went to the vacation house in Clare to write. I wrote a little more than 3 chapters, which turned out to be about 4k words. Not as many as I'd write during 3 days of NaNoWriMo, but still pretty good. Still not sure if I'm going to do the NaNo this year, I'll have to consult my idea file and think on it.

The weekend was, for the most part, nice and relaxing. I always enjoy spending quality time with absinthofheart, though I wish she didn't share her snacks with me so much. Keebler makes a shortbread cookie with fudge on it that I shouldn't have been anywhere near, it seems.
We saw an array of fun animals, as usual, though I think the dog (we took one with us) kept some of them away. There were blue jays and rabbits, a very big black cat and my favorite, deer. I love to see deer bounding around looking all majestic and whatnot.

My serial killer is coming along nicely. Right now he's decided to kidnap Elise, to see if the fortified cell he built is going to hold the girl he really wants to keep captive. Elise does not have long to live, methinks.

This week I plan to finish reading Watchmen, start reading Angels and Demons, sign all my copies of Cat's Apprentice and get them ready to send out on Sunday, and write at least 2 more chapters. That's in addition to going to work, of course.

Now, H and I are off to play Wii pool, and maybe some bowling. We really need to buy Wii Play instead of borrowing it. Cow racing and pool are way too much fun.

While I'm here, what are you guys being for Halloween?
I think I'm just going to go to work in my pajamas and be "slumber party Wednes."
Other than that, I don't have any scary plans yet.

Welcome back! I'm glad you had fun. Did you see, I posted reviews at Amazon and Barnes & Noble?

I don't know about my own Halloween costume yet. And we are up in the air on Helen Rose. She is either going to be a purple fairy (she has wings and a tutu) or a Gators cheerleader. I kind of want the fairy, but Cecil wants the cheerleader. He also wants to paint the dog in Gator colors. And it makes sense, since it is Georgia/Florida weekend...
But when else do you get to dress up like a purple fairy?

Candice and I are going as The Professor and Trophy Wife Barbie. I look excellent in a mustache and sport coat, but never get to wear them. Candice already looks like a Barbie doll and even has vintage plastic and suede Italian stilettos and a tight strapless denim dress that are BEGGING to be part of a costume. We're going as a package deal!

I vote fairy! But then, I'm biased.

I did. Many thanks!

If you're a tiny girl, you can get away with dressing up like a fairly any old time. It's once you turn say, 30 that you start to look like a freak in your tutu and fairy wings.

You're welcome!

That sounds excellent!

I hope I get to meet her. We sound more and more like we were separated at birth.

[thehula.livejournal.com]

You definitely were! I think we should go down to Longmont and spend time with her! Helen will LOVE Lauren and Christian.

You betcha!

Sarah Palin, from the great state of AlasKA!

I'll be dressing as Fred Flintstone.
