Month: November 2004

Ugh, still behind. I crossed the 14000 mark last night (barely) and I have to write 6-8000 today to catch up to where I should be. I’d be happy to do four today.

I am actually planning to pack up the laptop and head over to Barnes and Noble for 3:30. In the Nano forums I set up an informal gathering for the local folks. I figure worst case, I’ll get an hour in a different environment, and snag some fancy hot cocoa to boot. I’ll try to avoid the cheesecake.

Junior has been bugging me for over a week for a book, so Mr. Dump will meet me there after they get back from the movies (he’s taking my step-kids to see The Incredibles because they hadn’t seen it yet) and I’ll offer them each a book. It’s so funny…if he asked for a toy, I’d say no. But a book? How can I refuse?

Here’s the evidence that Frosty the Snowman was here!

My mom gave Junior this kit with wooden pieces to turn a pumpkin into acat, bat or witch. We used it to make a cat.

When I got home just now, I noticed one of our furry friends had decapitated the cat to get a snack. This struck me as hugely funny…

I’ve got a picture of all of us in Florida on my desk, and it’s helping me deal with the fact that we may get half a foot of snow today. (That sounds worse than six inches, doesn’t it? Half a foot! Call out the sled dogs!)

Suddenly, looking at the sleds the other day at Target doesn’t seem to be quite so bizarre, does it?

The tooth is out! Junior ended up yanking the thing out himself!

Why yes, I am one of those loser moms who gets sad when my child hits a major milestone. Wasn’t that tooth just coming in?
