Well, I had easily the best Thanksgiving in the last three years.  Considering those Thanksgivings consisted of either moving, the death of someone very special, and the trying-not-to-think-about-it-again the next year.  We went to visit family in Kentucky, which was nice because I hadn't seen them in a year and a half.  My little cousins are ( Read more... )

Y'all, I was trying so hard not to get into Christmas early...I fail miserably at this.  Although, it is only a week before Thanksgiving.  I'm pretty sure last year I started waaaaay earlier than this.

Pulled out all my Christmas CDs in my car and downloaded my "Christmas Playlist" onto my iPod.  I'm going over to my parent's tonight and I'll ( Read more... )

So...yeah, not successfully doing NaNoWriMo this year, unless I like, write non-stop from now on.  Halloween weekend kind of killed my desire to do anything except sit at home and mope, and I've pretty much been going non-stop ever since.  I thought about kind of...cheating...a little?  and using what I wrote last year and just kind of...starting ( Read more... )

Lots of people have been weighing in on their thoughts on the election, so I thought, hey, why not.  I posted a brief version of why I don't vote earlier this year.  But, because it's on my mind, I felt like talking again.

( I hate talking politics. )

Ok, humor me for a few moments.  I know I'm nerdy, but I'm not typically a Star Wars nerd, so this is a little of a departure for me.  I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars last night, and even though I had heard pretty good things, I was left feeling really disappointed. And I know I at least have a couple friends who enjoy Star Wars as much as I do ( Read more... )

I worked so hard to have a fun halloween party. If I waas still with my friends from Harding, we'd play games, maybe do like a murder mystery party thing, everyone would still come in costume, and it would be awesome. My friends here...the only thing that differentiated this from any other party was the fact that we were in costume, and I ( Read more... )

The last two days have just been retarded. We got this job that is basically us being nice and fixing an error made by another Alphagraphics in Atlanta somewhere. They did these two booklets that are virtually identical, and switched one of the pages in each. So page 4/5 from book A was in book B and visa-versa. So we had to unstaple, switch ( Read more... )

I got an email today from the coordinator of the Indianapolis NaNoWriMo group. 19 days until November, which is National Novel Writing Month for those of you who have not heard of NaNoWriMo. I'm attempting, again, participate this year. 50,000 words in a month. I think I can do it, I know I can if I keep at it. I did fairly well at the start ( Read more... )

This week has been insane. The RenFaire is this weekend, and I am very excited/nervous. It's gotten really cool up here, which is great, the weather is supposed to be excellent this weekend. So that's good. We got the last bits of my costume together except the bodice, which someone else is finishing. I'm pretty much ready for faire. I know ( Read more... )

Holy NSFW Batman, you will not believe what just happened (or...almost happened). Rhonda (our office manager/boss's wife) answers the phone. We hear her getting a little animated, and when she hangs up, she almost screams at Jennifer. I shall retell the conversation as Rhonda described it*: ( We almost got sent a strip-o-gram. You think I am kidding. )
