Lots going on. Haven't been writing, but actually part of what I've been up to has to do with writing.
First, was my awesome hubby's birthday. That was Friday. We had a quiet dinner at a local favorite restaurant with the girls and then dessert at home. The festivities continued Sunday night with my family at yet another restaurant (no complaints here with all that cooking-free dining!)
On Saturday night, at the invitation of my friend Kellie, I attended "Ghoul's Night Out" with my sister and twelve other witches. Yes, that's witches, not bitches. It was a fund raiser for our county museum. The event was a ladies only costume party (come in your witchiest attire) complete with dancing, appetizers, funky cocktails (too bad I was a dd!), karaoke and tarot card readings. Lots of girlie fun! The party was also sponsored by a local spa, so every ghoul got a nice goodie bag full of pamper-yourself samples to take home.
Thrown in with all of the festivities I managed to completely reorganize our bomb-site of a yet-to-be-finished basement. This will be ever so helpful when it comes time to haul the Christmas decorations out in about five (?!!) weeks. It also allowed us to move our desk downstairs to it's future home in our future office. In the mean time our familyroom has become much more spacious. My computer has also now moved upstairs to my stepdaughter's bedroom. OJ is rarely here anymore due to those teengerish things like work and socializing, so we didn't think she would mind. Plus we didn't think she would object to having the computer in her room when she is here (I'll just hang out on my hubby's laptop on those occasions).
So what does all of this have to do with writing?
My husband's birthday? Nothing.
Ghoul's Night Out? My tarot reading was very favourable to me pursuing my writing. I was told I should start working on this "artistic" thing in question now and that I need to get over my guilt and just do it. It is part of who I am and others will benefit from it. The only catch - the tarot lady suggested I start getting up at 5:00 am to make time to write (the thoughts of 5:00 am are extrutiatingly painful to me and is something I will definitely have to ease into)
Moving the computer? I now have a much brighter, less cluttered, quiet place to work.
In the week since I posted last I have also been trying to work on an outline. I am this close to signing up for NaNoWriMo. For those unfamiliar I will post about it once I pull the trigger. My husband has actually been very supportive of this crazy idea. I just need to work on the 5:00 am thing ...

I love your tarot reading. I have had many of these and too have been given the nod on my writing. It IS a part of who we are. So get over it. I did.
Oh, honey, I'll be right there with you at 5:00 am if you decide to do NaNo. My son does not allow "mommy writing time", so it's my only option.
Gosh, you and Elizabeth have me hankering for my own tarot reading now!
Vivi I know a great lady who can do it online or on the phone...
I've never had a reading online - did the ghoulie one just for fun. This lady was pretty freaky. She told my friend that she had had a meeting the day before with a man and that she was involved in a realestate deal. My friend actually had met with an appraiser the day before to look at a cottage her family is purchasing. What was cool with my reading was that she had me shuffle her cards and then draw a card from each of 5 different decks. Then I had to draw two cards from a separate white deck. I accidentally got three white cards (she said we had to use them all). After she read the first five cards, tarot lady turned over the three white cards. Each one of them was identical to three of the first five cards I had picked. What are the odds?!
Tracey she sounds legit to me. And very cool.
Do nano, Tracey, totally. You can add me as a writing buddy - I go by the secret alias 'Ray Veen'.
(Of course, I can't actually do any writing next month, what with all the revisions I HAVE to do, but I still plan to participate for the community of the whole thing)
