Weekend and Such.

The weekend was wonderful. Life is flying by right now. Writing a novel wears on you!

Went hiking with a few friends from work on Saturday. It was awesome because the views were phenomenal and the company was great. I also went TV shopping and now know which one I want to buy. Black Friday bring on your deals!!!

It is Henry's birthday today. I have never met a five year old like him. What kind of kid likes caribeaners, rope, yarn, little clips and other various random things for their birthday? This kid does. And I love him. And who can't help but laugh at a kid with a bag on their head? I sure can't. It was also nice to have a rivoting talk about the noises animals make with Spencer. Did you know that a bat says "I can fly faster than you?" I think asking him what a turkey says is just about the cutest thing on the planet. It keeps me young to have wee ones in my life!

I totally started this post before I went to bed last night and now it is 8:30 in the morning. Tired much? Hope your Tuesday is filled with ponies and rainbows. Cheers!

Me leaving work in the dark...

Leaving work in the dark is kinda depressing. Almost as depressing as going to work in the dark. Oh how I am not ready for winter. Seems like I am busy kid with this novel writing and keeping my head above water at work. I am heading the organization of the assembly that is a week from Friday. Ask me how much planning we have done? Oh none. Ask me how much I care? Not at all. Excuse the cynicism. I am tired. Cheers!

Quick Post Before My Eyes Close.

Today went fast. It is a new term and it was fun to meet my new students. They are pretty much going to be awesome. I played basketball and probably shouldn't have. It made me a little sore for an hour or so. Dang gallbladders or lack thereof.

I started nanowrimo today. That is National Novel Writing Month. If you would like to read my novel you can visit novelalice. Remember that NaNoWriMo is a "competition" where you write 50,000 words in the month of November. It is all about quantity not quality so there is no editing done as it is written. That is for going back later and doing. So it is majorly rough but good. I really like my idea this year even if it is a little on the dark side. I think because it is so opposite of my character it makes it fun! 1667 words a day is intense and I actually woke up at 3 a.m. to visit the bathroom and decided I would write for a bit. I ended up writing 1716 words. Crazy, eh? I am going to write a little bit more tonight before I go to bed so I can have a little more of a cushion. I am excited for it but it will make me tired. I am off to sleep. Cheers!

Halloween in Pictures!

Halloween Festivities.

A few of the teachers dressed up for Halloween yesterday. It is so fun to dress up. As you can see by my awesome cape, I am Awesome Alice for Halloween this year! I am pretty excited to go trick or treating later tonight with those cute boys. I am so lucky to have wee ones around to celebrate with. That pic is from last sunday, we watched the Packer game together. It was stellar.

We had burgers last night and it was so yummy. It was really a low key Friday night. I was glad for it!

This is a short post. I have some things to get done before heading up to Salt Lake for all the celebrations. I am pretty dang excited to eat Panda Express as well. It is a Bills tradition and I am way excited for Orange Chicken. I really do live for food. :)
