NaNoWriMo 2008 BEGINS!
I have no plot, no characters, and a word count goal for myself that is double the official goal required to win. November is going to be AWESOME!

I’ve learned a valuable lesson over the past couple of months, and I may have mentioned this before, but I feel the need to share again.
I am not cut out to take on a project large enough to require more than just me to complete it.
Besides that, I’m rotten at estimating timelines, apparently. At least I’m not the only one, though, so I’m trying not to take it too personally.
Six days until I said my project would be done. At this point, I don’t even care if I get paid. I just want it handed over to the clients so I can take a deep breath.
And never do this ever again.

Well, this is certainly enlightening. And sad.
Filed under real estate | Comment (1)Just a bit about my day
My son went from awake to asleep in less than two minutes tonight. One moment he was loudly asking me what was taking me so long, and when I came back to the room, he was out. It was very cool, and I hope I’m able to shut off so quickly tonight.
Not likely after my two late-night sodas, one of which was a Mt. Dew, but a girl can dream.
As I was out today with my grandma, I saw something wonderful - a positive prediction I heard on the radio on the last day of September. Someone said that with the economic crisis here in the states, the foreign contries that control the oil we guzzle so liberally would actually lower their prices to keep us addicted. And sure enough, prices have dove from about $3.50 to the low, low price of $3.09 I saw at a gas station that happens to be on my way to work. I had just filled up at $3.15.
I’m glad I’m able to purchase gas at a marginally more reasonable price. I hope the lowering prices doesn’t put out the fire beneath the scientist’s ass that’s going to invent the newest, best, clean mode of transportaion.
I also got the opportunity to discuss my opinion about Ms. Palin and her chances in the White House - that there are more people who would be more upset about a woman - any woman - in a position of power in the white house than an African-American man. The lady behind the counter that I was talking with said she’d never thought of that. Really, though, how could you not?
Oh, and I stole my grandmother’s good fortune today. Her left hand was itching, and whenever that happens, she says good fortune comes her way. Well, I got it instead. I had been told on Friday about something that was to happen on Tuesday that I should have spent most of today working on - and I forgot about it until this afternoon. About a half-hour before I remembered, I was sent an e-mail that the Tuesday thing was canceled. Thank goodness! It was good fortune all around, for the people having the thing as well as I.
Well, my busy day is now over. I’m wired, and not at all ready for sleep, but I’d better try. Tomorrow is a regular day at work. Friday is an early day, both in and out. My mom is back from the hospital (it turns out it wasn’t serious), and there are still 17 days until the end of the month, and the date at which all major projects of mine must be completed.
