Hello everybody. I'm a little pressed for time, but I wanted to post something since I've been absent the last few days.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was busy with running Meredith around. We went shopping for boots for her on Saturday, but came home empty-handed and sore-footed. (Well, my feet were sore.)
Sunday we left home at 9:30 to get to her soccer game that was over an hour away. Her new boyfriend, Matt, came along. Mer's team won their game 8-3 - a good way to end the season. Afterward, we ALL - kids, parents, and coaches - went to Ruby Tuesdays for an end of season party. Got home around 5:30 that evening. I was very, very tired.
New boyfriend Matt:
- is cute
- is very nice
- is mature
- is responsible
- is going to the local community college, studying Criminal Justice
- has been accepted to a four-year school for next semester, but is still debating whether he wants to go there - they want to recruit him for football
- is working part-time on a farm
- wants to work as a state trooper for a few years after college, then hopes to enter the Secret Service
- was able to chat with me amiably and intelligently all day
- volunteered to replace the worn belts in my car's engine
I like him very much. Ergo, he won't last the week.
Gina and Ayla will likely kick my butt, but I have determined that I just don't have time for NaNo. I'm hopelessly behind now, and still have no concrete outline of where I want to go. So, I think I'm out. I have the two exchange fics I need to complete, and seeing as I am the slowest writer on the planet (at least the hemisphere), they will require my full writerly attention. Sorry to my NaNo buddies, if you are disappointed. I will try to plan better for next year.
I haven't totally written off my Thanksgiving trip yet, but it's getting sketchier. The pick-up needs an alternator. Blergh.

It's totally okay about NaNo. I've already said you do too much. I don't need a crazy, stressed out Katie-bugs on my hands because she keeps taking on new projects and juggling RL at the same time. You just take it easy and I'll do the stressing out. There's always next year, my dear!

And yes, Mer's flavor of the... day? week? month? who knows... Matt's a nice kid. He looks a little older than he is, just because he's a big guy. Not overweight, but solid. Football players...
I'm liking the dot dot dots tonight...

Though this one guy David that I met is hillarious. He doesn't believe chivalry is dead- in fact after talking to me, when he had to leave, he bowed and then left =P

Chivalry isn't dead, it's just shy. You can still find it around. When you do, that's the place to hang out. It's those times that I enjoy being female.

Or better yet, show him smut_friday >.>
As for NaNo, miens stuck on 4178 words, and it's supposed to be 11670 by today. I was like "I'll catch up" but then I didn't catch up enough. Sigh. :)

I think you're doing great with 4178 words. I never cracked 1000.
