Yesterday around 4:00 p.m. I finished my NaNoWriMo novel. Yes folks, that is five days ahead of schedule!
We celebrated last night by buying gas, I know kind of lame, but we filled up the tank for only $15! When gas was around $4 a gallon it cost me $35 to fill up the tank. CRAZY!
So now all that is left for me to do is knit, work, knit, work, knit, and work. Oh and finish NaBloPoMo as well. 
It’s been a long day. Work has been back to back, which means I’ve been busy. I took a break to go have lunch with a good friend, Rachel. She was my maid of honor in my wedding and has been a great friend for the past four years. It was so nice to catch up with her, it had been six months since I had talked to her one on one! I know, bad friend I am.
On a side note, Gray and I are trying out gamefly.com for a month. We got a free trial for a month and decided to give it a shot. Right now I’ve got out Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and he has Star Wars:Unleashed. So far I’m really like Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, but we’ll see how far I get on it.
Tonight we’re going over to Kelsey’s apartment. She just moved in recently so we want to visit and see what she’s done and meet her dog, Curtis. I’m excited because I love dogs.
The novel is coming along, I haven’t written anything yet today, but I have been pretty busy. It’s time to get back to work.
The weekend turned out to be ‘Becca is sick again.” This time it was complete with a head ache and some awesome sinus crud. I’m beginning to wonder when it’s leaving me for good.
Yesterday was MTSU’s Homecoming but we opted to not participate. Instead, we ran some errands and hung out at the apartment.
So here is to a boring entry because I need to catch up on my word count for NaNoWriMo and there is a Titans football game on today, Go Titans!

I’m actually not that amazed I’ve made it this far. See, in the past I could have posted every day, but I’ve restrained myself.
Today marks the beginning of week two for NaNoWriMo. I’m actually on target with my word count and will hopefully use the weekend to get ahead. Right now it’s beginning to feel like a chore to write, so hopefully I can get past that feeling and just write! My story has added in some characters I’ve never thought about. It’s interesting how that can happen.
I know I posted about the chinchilla the other day but he did something interesting that night. I woke up in the middle of the night and could hear him in his cage. I got up to inspect and found he was stuck in the plastic ball that holds his hay. He had been pulling on it and got stuck and tore it from the cage. So yesterday we went to Petco and bought him another, bigger, basketball cage for his hay. We also bought him some treats to chew on. He’s been biting me a lot lately. I can’t tell if he does it when he’s angry at me or just hungry.
Today is Homecoming for our college team. I think we’ll be staying home. The only football that really interests me these days is the Titans!
Now I’m off to clean house and make a grocery list!

This month has been lacking in a few areas, mainly blog posts. I was really stumped for the longest time on what to write my novel about for NaNoWriMo. I’ve finally got an idea and I’m pretty sure I can stay interesting in it for the whole month. It was so hard to not write about vampires after my Twilight saga love.
I’m also doing the blog every day of the month deal. We’ll see how long that one lasts, and of course, how repetitive my entries become.
Would it be really bad if I leave the Pink for October theme up through November? Hmm… I need to find a temporary theme because it doesn’t look like I will be doing a custom one for a while…
So unless something insanely interesting happens over the next few days, I won’t be posting again until November and then, my dears, you will probably want me to stop.
Wow, where did the weekend go? I’ve been suffering sinus crap again but I managed to enjoy today just the same. Let’s see…
Yesterday Gray and I made quick plans to go to a haunted house and then decided to wait until next weekend, mainly because I was getting sleepy at like 7pm. Yeah, so next weekend… haunted house time!
I am gearing up for a very busy time ahead of me. Every November I take place in National Novel Writing Month. Basically, you try to write 50,000 words in a month! The only time I’ve ever made it far was in 2004 when I did about 30,000 words. This time, I’m determined to win! I will also(hahaha) be doing National Blog Writing Month, which means I will be posting an entry EVERY DAY here for the month of November. I think that will be even harder than writing the novel.
So, it shall be a busy month but I’m looking forward to it… and Thanksgiving! But first comes Halloween.
