Today is the first day of the NaNoWriMo event! I am excited, because I finally got an idea for the my novel. I hope like hell I can keep up with it.
It is sometimes easier to work under the pressure of a deadline. I think, at least for me, that knowing that I have x amount of time to complete a project keeps me on course. Of course, I could be wrong. Time will tell.
So, Halloween came and went and as usual, we had zero trick or treaters. Go figure. In all the years we've been married, hubby and I have had roughly three dozen candy varmints come knocking on our door.
I wonder why that is? We buy bags and bags of candy and then we have bags and bags of the stuff left over. Maybe he secretly puts a signout that says "Trick or Treaters will be eaten", and it sort of frightens them away? I don't know. I just know that I am now stuck with three bags of candy, and nowhere to dispose of it.
Oh wait, what am I thinking? We have ten grandkids! Now there's a nifty disposal unit if ever there was one. We just have to get it to them tonight, because we generally have one or two of them on the weekends and a sugar buzzing youngun would be hard on us old timers, you know?
Well, I best be getting on that NaNo thingy. Time's a wasting. Have a great day, y'all.

Wow, have times changed. I'm wondering if planned parties are replacing trick-or-treating? Wow...maybe this will be just a memory? Good luck on the Nanonono however it's spelled!
