Even with medicine’s amazing triumph over diseases like polio and certain types of cancer, no one has yet to figure out a cure for the common cold. Continuing this very sad cycle of late posts, I am just not up and moving around at 11:00 in the morning. Why? Because I have a cold. Yesterday was the worst of it, I think. Very sore throat. Ear ache. Tiredness. Nausea. Yucky. I got a ton of rest, but when I was asleep, I dreamed I was in a talent show but could not sing because my throat was sore. Ha! I…

No, I haven’t been on blog strike. I’ve just been a bad girl. Well, good in some ways. I didn’t write a blog yesterday morning because I was sound asleep. Now, normally, you could scold me for that, but I had a really really good reason this time. I stayed up the night before all through the night to write, and I actually ended up with almost 7000 words in one day! I finally made it to sleep around 7’ish, which is when G was getting up. It was definitely productive, but I was Tired. This morning, I don’t have…

Once a year, Everquest II devotees like myself look forward to the release of a new expansion. This year, it happens next Tuesday… or maybe Wednesday. G and I went in to Game Stop to pre-order two copies and they told us to pick it up on the 19th. Officially, however, the game was supposed to come out on the 18th. So… it comes out on one or the other. Anyway, the expansion is the fourth for EQ2 and is called “The Shadow Odyssey”. For the first time, there is no character level increase included with the expansion and I…

I totally overslept today. Not only did I turn off the alarm this morning instead of snoozing, causing my fiance to get up late, but I also went back to sleep when he left and didn’t get up until 9:45. That means I missed Jazzercise. I’ve got so much to do today, so on top of that now I feel guilty that I slept in when G had to go to work. Everything would be so much simpler if I could just sell a novel and then get a movie deal and make millions of dollars. That way, I could…

NaNo WriMo is officially one week in, and I have really enjoyed it. Right now, I am sitting at around 9,000 words, which means that I am a little bit behind. In truth, I had more written, but then I deleted half a chapter. I know that is against the rules because we aren’t supposed to be editing ourselves just yet, but honestly… that half a chapter was complete crap. And once I cut it out, the writing came much easier. By midnight tonight I need to have 11,669 words. If I do, then I get a little reward I…

Well, as of Halloween, it is apparently now Christmas Holiday Shopping time. All of the commercials are starting to have that little holiday theme or the little message thrown in that “This is a great gift for the Holidays!!”. Just thinking about spending all that money makes me nauseated. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas. I love the music and the beautiful decorations. I love Christmas trees and putting up lights and ornaments. I love seeing my family and eating great food. It’s just that this year, somehow, it seems cumbersome. There’s so much expectation involved, and now that…
