If you were with me in yesterday's blog entry, you know I was discussing my sister Sue -- and how she has been failing. Yesterday was a BAD day ( Read more... )

I just validated my WIN for NaNoWriMo for 2018. I can't believe I made my 50,000 words on day 25. How about that ( Read more... )

I can't believe I didn't try to get at least a short entry in last night about NaNoWriMo. As of yesterday I'm at 40,000 words! In the home stretch, I guess, with only 10,000 words left to go ( Read more... )

First off, Marilyn and I went over to Clark College in Vancover, Washington today to see Adeena speak for Bruce Elgort's class on Business Web Practices. Her speech was titled: Destination Unknown. She did a WONDERFUL job! I was very proud of her. She's such an excellent public speaker ( Read more... )

No, this is NOT the first time Marilyn and I have tackled NaNoWriMo (Nation Novel Writing Month -- I can never seem to remember the full name, by the way!). We both won in 2005 and 2008. What's surprising is that it's been ten years since the last time we did it ( Read more... )

For her, there's a lot to tackle when you consider all the years she's worked there and how much stuff she needs to go through ( Read more... )

Sister Sue suzy_qp hauled me to Freddies to get a few more groceries (including the all-essential toilet paper) after she got done with her Thursday grass roots cribbage at around 10:00 p.m. Before that, Marilyn and I were watching more TV, in this case the On Demand movie "88 Minutes," with Al Pacino ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, it looks like Marilyn mistressmarilyn has the flu. At least she didn't end up getting it directly from me, as I haven't been contagious for ages now. Anyway, I feel so bad for her! I know she feels worse than she's letting on. She's got a temperature and body aches and all of that and was up almost all night last night. Happily she did sleep a lot ( Read more... )
