peopleofwalmart.com is hilarious. Sort of. Until you start to realize those are REAL PEOPLE, and they think there's nothing wrong with how they look.

How many things can I think of that keep me from getting a good night's sleep:

1. finances (always)
2. my oldest daughter is out there driving around somewhere. I hope some idiot doesn't hit her.
3. my youngest daughter is waiting in line to watch the New Moon premier tonight - I hope she doesn't fall asleep in school tomorrow.
4. the kitchen is a mess.
5. my dad and his grouchy girlfriend are coming for Thanksgiving. If she brings her bottle of bourbon, I'm going to really lose some sleep. And she needs to keep her gas to herself!
6.Our min pin seems to have a very flemmy cold.
7.Thanksgiving prep this weekend.
8. I need to really do some serious writing and revising. Why can't I be as motivated as other writers?

that's all for now. maybe writing them down will help me sleep tonight.

Home remodel: my new library

My new library. It's not quite done but it's coming along pretty good

BEFORE:


AFTER:


The closet is being made into a nook for a roll top desk. As soon as the bookshelves are secured to the wall, I'm going load the shelves up!

And I even found time to write this week. I fell a little behind with Nanowrimo, but pumped out over 6000 words this weekend. I'm going to have to start thinking of EVERY month as a Nanowrimo month. Writing really is a state of mind.

blogging

I like writing a lot. But I'm not sure I like blogging. I'd rather read them. I tried keeping a blog about my experience being a surrogate, which fizzled out because:

1. I forgot about it most of the time, and
2. I had to wait forever (over a year) for the mom to get her act together. I was getting too old to wait any longer and called it off. (I wanted to be able to have a glass of wine on my 40th birthday.) So, no surrogacy, no blog.

I'm going to give it another try. Maybe once or twice a week.

This month I'm consumed with Nanowrimo and getting my house fixed up for the 20 something guests I'm having over for Thanksgiving. Miraculously, I've been able to keep up the 1667 words a day without too much stress. I'm marla67 at nanowrimo.org.

Tomorrow, new flooring will be installed in the library downstairs - I'll post before and after pics.

I think the problem I have most about blogging is that I feel like - who gives a crap what I'm doing...

I'll let you know if something really interesting comes along.
