OMG!

It's almost time for Nanowrimo again. Well, let's start with an update. I did met the 50,000 word goal before the end of November. Yay, me!

So now for an update on a few things:

1) Work sucks. Hard. I have to work with a very catty bunch of women and it feels like I'm back in high school again! While one frustration factor has left, they chose not to replace her, so now we have to work harder. Oh, and did I mention we now have to plan all our overtime a week ahead?

2) My son came back from his second tour of duty and is now attending Ranger School. I haven't heard from him since July. :(

3) I've been trying to lose weight. I've done this by making small changes such as drinking more water, exercising more and making better food choices, but not actually dieting. I've lost 16 pounds since February. And on Labor Day, I found that I can now wear the next smaller size quite comfortably. I'm also finding myself at a bit of a plateau, so I'm going to have to step things up a little, I think.

4) I've got a big, fun and scary adventure planned for the end of October. I'm going to take a trip to England to visit a good friend. I've only left the continental U.S. once (to go to Hawaii) and I've only left the country once (to go to Canada). This will be an interesting experience. And as an added bonus, I'll be out of the country during the later part of the election campaign, so I'll miss the commercials.

5) This month is my 7 year wedding anniversary. :)

Okay, so on to Nanowrimo. I did think of a title: Tricentennial. It would be set in the year 2076. I've got a little bit outlined. I'm also trying to outline Love, War and Fast Food, and we'll see. But then again, with the presidential race looming, perhaps a bit of a political fiction might be in order.

But there's still a bit of time until Nanowrimo. :)
