I just came across a bottle of chocolate milk with a label that actually says:
Allergy Warning: Contains Milk.
.
Seriously?!
.
You’re kidding me, right? It has milk in the title!
Give me a break.
Great. Now I want a Kit-Kat bar.
(Hums “Brake me off a piece of that Kit-Kat bar.”)

Well, I’ve found a blog post that echoes what I’ve been preaching to myself.
Time to step up and get things done. *sigh*
So, who’s going to handcuff me to my computer?
I first realised the complete unfairness of life at the age of 14. My friends could afford to go to the movie theater, and I couldn’t. It didn’t matter that I really wanted to see the film, be with my friends and have a better Friday night than just staying at home, because no amount of yelling and moping changed the fact that the spare money wasn’t there.
I promised myself that I would never, ever be poor when I grew up – ever. The problem with that promise, though, was that I didn’t expect to be grown up quite so fast. I didn’t realise that you only get what you work for. You can cry, beg, and sook but unless you secure a job and work it well, there won’t be a dime in your bank account. I didn’t know exactly that we weren’t rich, I just knew that I…

My husband and I spent the better part of two hours rearranging the entertainment center to accommodate a new blu-ray player that will also handle Netflix and it’s friends. This was more of a workout than my poor little brain seems to have budgeted for today, so this blog is something of a cop-out.
While checking out someone else’s blog I came across some Bugs Bunny episodes in the recommended videos after a silly antique commercial on Youtube. After watching a few of them I decided that this would be something interesting to post on here.
So without further ado, here are a couple things on Youtube that make me laugh.
Hope they make you laugh!

Gobble, gobble has a whole new meaning…
Here’s hoping our Thanksgivings are full of love, laughter, and quality time with loved ones.
Here’s a little prayer sent up to help us mind our tongues when someone’s opinion rubs us the wrong way.
Here’s to that gentle tap on the shin that most husbands will receive when their wife hears the opening line to a personal viewpoint that would be sure to set the room on fire (and to his interpreting this ‘love tap’ correctly).
Here’s to the careful negotiations over the last piece of Aunt Grace’s famed pumpkin pie.
Let us all remember that this is a season where we take a little time out of our busy schedules to look around and be appreciative of the things we have.
Whether we are with relatives, good friends, or a room of relative strangers, may we all be surrounded by happiness and positive thoughts.
This is me wishing everyone a safe and fun Thanksgiving!

NaNoWriMo Word Count is now – 10,214
My fingers are tired.
The white noise ended after the first hour. After checking my word count I decided to add another 150 words to push me over 10, 000. This is the number I ended up at after I’d finished writing out a couple more of the main character’s diary entries. No where near the normal 50,000 word goal, but getting closer to my more realistic goal of using this month to map out the main story line.
Loving the plot so far.

What are some of your family’s Thanksgiving traditions that you love?
Have you made some new ones in your own home?
What are things you are particularly thankful for this year?
Tell me, tell me! My curiosity knows no bounds.

I love to read.
That didn’t come out right.
I Love to Read.
It seems, however, that I am rather persnickety about what I am willing to pick up.
I will read certain types of fantasy, almost all romance (unless it’s too sappy), some action/adventure, as long as it’s not too bloody, satire, humor, fun, cute, light, or girly.
What I can not stand, is an ill-written book. I can look past typos, and even a tired cliché or two; just please don’t base your entire plot on a watery character who is supposed to fall for a guy who’s English is way too correct to be a believable person.
My favorite genre to read: Is Terry Pratchett’s work a genre? ( http://www.terrypratchett.co.uk/ )
My favorite Genre to write: I thought it was romance, but I started a suspense for NaNoWriMo and I am really enjoying myself.
If I could hang out with a book character: It would have to be Captain Carrot of the Ank-Morpork City Watch, from Terry Pratchett’s Disc World series. Because if I stuck beside him for an entire shift I would get to meet the rest of the officers, and get a good tour through the city.
Alright, my precious Audience, I am curious about a few things.
1.) What is your favorite genre to read?
2.) What is your favorite genre to write?
3.) If you could hang out with a character from a book, who would you pick? Why?
P.S. Agnus and The Hitman is not just a book for girls. My husband laughed his butt off when I read it aloud in the car on the way to and from work.
