Write your heart out...

I'm trying to kick my writing into gear in October so that I can really sit down and whip out something in November which is National Novel Writing Month. I'm so excited that I remembered it in time this year. Usually it is half way through the month before I either read about it or remember. Of course I thought that it was in October so that was what prompted me to look it up.

I'm not sure if anything will come of it but I've been toying with the idea of what I wanted write recently. I hope that by writing in November I will be able to work on a 'novel' and then in December work on some of the stuff that I've been working on for years. In the past I've look at the self publishing options on Amazon I think and that makes me feel more comfortable about trying to get a book out there.

I really need to workk on my giant fruit for the bulletin board so that I can get it up on Wednesday since I'd meant to do that for the last three weeks and all I've accomplished is cutting out a stack of purple circles to make a bunch of grapes. Then I got the rest of the construction paper but I left it on the shelf and then that was the end of the fruit for last week.

I need to look at bills or go to the bank to put some money in there but then I'd have to pay the bills and that freaks me out right this second.

We took baby girl to get the last of her shots and then a rabies shot so that she's all good to go. Of course the lethargy that they may cause lasted a whole total of twenty minutes. I had to almost drag her out of the pet store because she wants to be friends with every other puppy that she meets. Then once she was in the car it was almost smooth sailing. We are still working on her getting any kind of traction on smooth laminate flooring. It is truly fun to watch her freak out because she can't go anywhere. She also was in rocket dog mode because she finally figured out how to get on the couch and now she goes back and forth from being on the couch to off the couch and back and forth no problem. She nailed me in the jaw on one of them, it didn't even register what she had done.

love ya!

Sad news...

I do have sad news. This morning I came downstairs turned on the lights in the fish tank to find my more Dolly swimming upside down. She wasn't quite gone but we had to pull her out. She was doing her best to try and swim and not have us notice that she was swimming upside down. They always seem to float a little crooked but this was just too sad. She kept swimming into the bubbles to get flipped over but she just didn't have the stamina to make it.

love ya!

Dolly...

This is Dolly. She is one year old today...well I say that she is one year old, she has been with us one full year. I know the shot is kinda of blurry but she got a little scared of the camera and it took a bit to get her out from behind the castle.

On the very right of the picture are Nickel and Dime and amazingly that is the same size that Dolly was one year ago.

She is the only fish that we bought on our honeymoon that survived. She has survived two turtles, a pack of mean and aggressive fish that escape me currently.

I almost had to put some food in the tank to get her to come out and then I still wouldn't have gotten a good picture because she turns into a vaccum cleaner, I'm sure a habit that she learned in the pet store aquarium that you eat as fast as you can or you don't get any food. It's cute but she will get bigger, I promise and I know. I think that her size is up to seven inches and right now she's not even half of that.

Man I could really go for a trip to Hobby Lobby. Easter makes me want to be crafty.

love ya!
