hallow's eve

Hey guys! I'm sorry about the radio silence. I've been so busy writing and getting things ready for my friend's visit next week that I haven't had much of interest to talk about these last few weeks. That and I kept forgetting it was Thursday until it was Friday.

I've still got a nice list of things to do before Monday but last night I checked off cleaning my shower which took a good two hours. I cannot fully express how much I hate having hard water. I'm going to start dreaming about water softeners pretty soon.

So, tomorrow is Halloween! I've had everything for my work costume for a few weeks now and I was just waiting on the necklace I'd ordered at the end of September. That turned into a whole fiasco with it getting lost in the mail and many phone calls to USPS. Thankfully, I was working with a very understanding seller who refunded my purchase and sent me another necklace which arrived last week! Hopefully I'll have a picture to share next week.

I'm going to be taking the first week of November off from NaNoWriMo and I probably wont post either but I'm excited for a new month, though I still can't believe October's disappeared on me. I've figured some important plot and character points out this month that will be big helps as I move forward. When I first committed to writing this whole thing out, back in August, I gave myself the liberty of skipping sections that I wasn't prepared to write just yet with the plan of going back. I have yet to do that but I'm trying now to write everything out as I go, no skipping. This has been a bit frustrating at times and I go through pages that I'm not in love with but getting through to the other side is rather rewarding.

Okay, my brain is being a bit spazzy right now so I'll leave you with this video my husband shared with me this morning. I cannot get over the giant's expression at the end :]
