Just a quick post to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS/Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa, Festivus, Winter Solstice, or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year (I KNOW I missed some but not on purpose)
There will not be a post next week as the child will still be off school and I'll be wearing my Mom hat 99% of the time and not my author hat.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy and SAFE New Year.

It's The Most Wonderful Time...
Hey everyone,
Sorry it's been almost two weeks without a post AND I'm posting on a SATURDAY!!! Which means I'll be brief LOL.
My shopping is 99% done - there is still one gift I'm debating on, literally I have four tabs open & I'm trying to decide which one I like better...*sigh* Wrapping is finished and all my packages and cards have been mailed! WOOO HOOOOO
This of course means I have nothing to do except write and edit...neither of which I am doing *frowns at self* I'm trying, I think NaNo burned me out. We'll see.
My FIL stopped by on Thursday for a quick overnight. With him he brought, five LARGE bars of chocolate, two bars of Toblorone, 1 bag of Doritos, 1 Bag of Cracker Jacks, 1 package of Oreos, 1 half-eaten bag of Twizzlers, 1 open bag of chips of some sort, 1 open bag of pretzel chips, 1 open bag of peanuts, some assorted other candies and things. He bestows this upon us like he's gifting us something. >:( Being a diabetic, I can't in good conscience eat most of that stuff. I'm not saying I'm perfect, far from it, but I am VERY choosy about when and where I splurge.
He does this every single time he comes to visit. When they were here for Thanksgiving - we had TWICE that amount, plus 4 2-Liter bottles of pop (which we don't drink - at least not often enough to warrant a 2-Liter bottle which is why I buy cans and sometimes we end up throwing a half-full can out because it has gone flat in the fridge :/ )
So the hubs and I have worked out a system, because he's been doing this for almost sixteen years now. He's not going to change. We say thank you and as soon as he leaves, the open stuff gets pitched and the unopened stuff gets donated to the kitchen at hubby's office. And I bite my tongue when the mountain of junk food appears on my kitchen table/counter with my FIL.
I still get frustrated though. (as you can no doubt tell from this post)
Anyway, that's all for now. I'll do another post next week and tell you about the exciting thing we are doing with our child on Monday. (hint:...The Hobbit)
Have a great weekend!

TGIF! and Nano Update
HA HA srsly, TGIF! Although really I wish it was next Tuesday already. We are so busy the next five days it is ridiculous. Actually, I should be napping instead of posting right now, but alas, I had some editing to get done and this post to complete so here I am, posting.
First, I completed over 50K for NaNo! I'm not stopping yet, just, the writing is taking a backseat because we have family in town for Thanksgiving, the school musical is this weekend, then Grandparent's Day and then of course Turkey Day - so yeah, I'll be lucky if I get much past 50K but I MADE IT and that's what counts!
I had a GREAT birthday. I will post pics of my loot at the bottom of the post...which means I need to go take them /o\ and load them into a picture thingie. BRB....
Kid got me a Frozen Elsa Adult costume, because he remembered me saying when we were in Orlando that they didn't have any Elsa t-shirts for adults, only for little girls. He wanted me to have my very own Elsa costume - srsly how cute is that? Hubby - wonderful man that he is, got me some much needed Victoria's Secret Bombshell perfume, FOUR Maze Runner posters (Sorry I didn't unroll those but I can't hold them AND take a picture - they will eventually be framed so maybe then) and also a GORGEOUS necklace.
Received numerous tweets and emails, so thank you all.
There probably won't be a post next week, seeing as how it's Thanksgiving :D But hey, maybe a review round up for both Cast the First Stone and Fixing the Hole in two weeks...along with Christmas preps!
Have a great weekend! And a great Turkey Day if you're in the States. If not, have a great Thursday!

All the booty including the Ghiradelli Chocolate I bought for myself.
Better picture of the perfume and the necklace
Three of the four Maze Runner bookmarks that came with my poster (the kid took one LOL)
