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!

I’m always sad when I wake up Monday morning alone. It means the weekend is over and I must go back to doing chores and working.
This weekend went by so fast. After Friday night’s hang out with Chad and Trina, we spent Saturday grocery shopping. I know, it’s not exactly exciting.
Last month I planned out all our meals for a month, wrote them down, and then we went shopping for the whole month. This month I opted to try and do weekly meals only, so I planned out the meals for this week.
Shopping on Saturday took us three hours and about five stores. I looked through all the specials in the papers and determined what we’d be buying. There were also many necessary items that weren’t groceries to purchase such as: paper towels: dish soap, and a few other random items. We were out of a lot of staples. I don’t know about you, but when I add these to my grocery list, it adds up a lot.
So, we spent a good part of Saturday shopping and I spent the rest of it writing. I got up and did my blog posting first and then I wrote my novel.
After the mail came, we watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 6 and called it a night. Seriously, I don’t recall what we did Saturday night at all.
Sunday we got up and went to church (thanks extra hour of sleep). After church it was more novel and blog writing for me. I spent hours trying to find a free mac photo edit program, to no avail.
I want to upload pictures to flickr to include them in the blog and it finally worked.
I watched the Titans game online yesterday. Really, it was just a live graphic of the field where it showed their lineup. We’re totally 8-0 now and I fully believe we’re going to the Superbowl. We went in 1999 and I feel this is the year to make a comeback.
Last night I found myself catching up on Gossip Girl and writing more of the novel at the same time. I actually passed 5,000 words on the novel, so I am a day ahead. I wouldn’t mind writing more ahead today, it will help for Thanksgiving deadness that will probably occur.
I took some Sudafed medicine last night so I’d be able to go to sleep.
Chile decided last night to ring his bells ALL NIGHT LONG. So yeah, very sleepy and drugged Becca got up at 4 this morning to move his cage further away from our room.
I still feel very drugged, but perhaps I will have more interesting blogs this week. We’ll see.
