NaNoWriMo 2010

NaNoWriMo has come around again and in an effort to make my 30 days of writing mean something, I’ve decided to kill people off (or just write a character with your name into the story) for a donation. Here’s how it works:

Date: October 15th to November 30th (NaNoWriMo runs from November 1-30.)

Charity: March of Dimes

How This Works: Here is the link to Daniel’s band on the March of Dimes site. Click on that link to donate. I’ll check the band daily for who has donated. I don’t care if it’s a large or small amount. If you donate, I’ll write you into the story by either killing you off in the manner in which you choose (with some restrictions) or by naming a character after you. Once you donate, leave me a comment and let me know how you want to die/if you want a character named after you.

Restrictions: No ritual cannibalism. I reserve the right to veto the method of death if I find it too gruesome. (Ahem… Pisco.)

Update: I have a widget where you can see my progress.

Why Am I Not Surprised?

It’s come out that Karl Rove and his minions have been behind a bunch of attack ads put on by shell organizations like “The US Chamber of Commerce” that is attacking Barbara Boxer here in California. Oh… and apparently Obama is singling them out for outrage.

Let’s see… funneling MASSIVE amounts of cash into tax-deductible organizations to do your dirty work. How is this not morally wrong?

I should have known that the Prince of Darkness (not Dick Cheney) would be behind this!

Oh yeah… I’ve already voted so could we please get the freaking attack ads off the TV here in California? NOW!!!! Please?

The Simple Woman’s Daybook: October 11, 2010

The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY October 11th

Outside my window… is the pool area at the motel. It’s sunny and warm and I’m wishing I could go swim.

I am thinking… Daniel *really* needs a nap.

I am thankful for… getting to see my parents this weekend.

From the kitchen… probably the leftover lasagna from youth group last night.

I am wearing… cammo green shirt and jeans capris.

I am creating… some new blog postings today. (Hopefully.)

I am going… back to southern California tomorrow.

I am reading… some of the Alexander McCall “44 Scotland Street” books.

I am hoping… Daniel makes progress in PT this week.

I am hearing… Daniel grumping as he tries to settle for his nap. Also hearing “World’s Wildest Police Chases” on TV.

Around the house… has probably been trashed by the cats in our absence.

One of my favorite things… House is on tonight.

A few plans for the rest of the week: two PT sessions and flying to Seattle on Saturday.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing… Daniel practicing sitting
