I finally have less than 20,000 words left to go on my nano. It’s why I haven’t been around my blog lately. That will all change as December hits. I want to win! I want to win!
So my husband is way into video games. When he was a little kid and still to this day [...]
Michelle from Madre of Angelica tagged me:
Go to your picture files. Open the fourth folder. Post the fourth picture.
I bet you’re expecting to see a super cute picture of my daughter, aren’t you? Or a really embarrassing one of me from the 80s with big crimped hair and huge glasses that cover half my face? [...]
One of my favorite activies during Christmas is Secret Santa. It’s fun and light-hearted and if you have a lot of people to buy for it can eliminate some present-buying stress.
Every year I do Secret Santa with two groups.
MY OFFICE
we have 13 people in our department. Secret Santa helps my wallet because I only have [...]
Finally. I broke 20,000 words on my nano this morning. Will be working on it through the weekend; I really need to catch up. Another 5,000 and I’ll be halfway to winning! Less than 10 days to get up to 50,000 words.
Here are the books that Santa got just for Chloe this year for Christmas (it’s a good thing my daughter doesn’t read my blog):
Dim Sum for Everyone by Grace Lin
It’s Okay to Be Different by Todd Parr: We have his book The Family Book and absolutely adore it also.
All the Colors of the Earth by Sheila Hamanaka
The Colors [...]
I finally got past 12,000 words. I’m just trudging along with nanowrimo. This is harder than I thought it would be. However, because of that, if I actually do this I will be very happy.
Excerpt.
“I got a better offer,” I told him flippantly; I didn’t like to think on this part of my human life. [...]
Finally. I hit 10,000 words! I’m at 10,028. I thought I would never get here. I will make this quick since I will be so happy if I can make it to 11,000 before the end of the night. I know all I’m talking about lately is the nanowrimo and probably boring everyone but me [...]
Ha! I’m done with my Christmas shopping. Well, technically I’m done. I still have photobooks to make for the grandparents and then I’ll be officially done. However, I think I can safely say that I’m done because all the kids have gifts sitting in our closet, including Santa’s gifts to Chloe. So - HA!
I know [...]
I got paid for one of my contracts yesterday. I wish that meant that I was going on an IKEA shopping spree since I’ve started to redecorate. No, it just means that I get to start our xmas shopping today. I am trying to make it easy on myself this year since I’m starting my [...]
