Yay! I have all sortsa crap to do!
Well, here we are on November 1. I have gone completely insane and have signed up for all sorts of things requiring self-imposed deadlines for the entire month. I don't know what I was thinking. Let's start things off with a random, rambly update, shall we?
On Thursday night, we went over to some friends' and carved pumpkins all evening and ate chili. So much fun. But I was totally exhausted on Friday. I'm too old for socialising.
We had more trick-or-treaters last night than the combined total of all the trick-or-treaters who've knocked on our door in the past 13 years. We handed out bags and bags of candy. It was great. Then we went to the Museum of Natural Science and danced, watched belly dancing, ate free stuff, ogled people's costumes, hung around the exhibits, and ended the evening in the planetarium show of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. It was very amusing indeed. You could tell how old people were by whether they walked in during the Pink Floyd thing and went, "Oooh!" or whether they kind of sat down, looked perplexed for a few minutes, and then left, having no idea about planetarium laser shows of a bygone era. Pf. Whippersnappers.
Today I went to my meeting and found out I reached my 10% goal. That's a total of 24.6, for those of you who care. The 10% goal was 23. I still have some little way to go, but I'm happy about the outcome so far. D made his 10% goal last week.
I started writing for NaNoWriMo at half past midnight or so, but we'd just come home from the party, so I could barely stay awake long enough to write a couple of paragraphs. I felt better having started though. And now I'm going to do some more of that, thank you.
Renaissance Festival tomorrow. Woo!
ETA: txdville, dear, thank you so much for the spooky ghost! It made my night! And phyncke, thank you so much for your Halloween ecard, it made me smile!
