All I got was a lousy t-shirt.

Woo! I finished NaBloPoMo!

I wish it would snow.

the sky hangs low weeping on the world below.

The saggy, baggy, mommy post.

My lovely Internet friend, Dep, who I met on Flickr (her photos are AMAZING by the way--do look), is feeling a bit blue because of her looks and body and all that mommy jazz, and this is my response to her response to herself.

I thought I'd share because it's been my mantra of sorts every time I stand naked in front of the mirror nitpicking every part of my new mommy-body:

oh dep. I so know what you mean and how you feel. i am only 26, and had two children in 3 years, and i am already so saggy and flabby and have wrinkles around my eyes and i get so jealous of other 26-year-olds who have wonderful perky tittys and flat smooth tummys....but when i look at my children and realize how positively wonderful and amazing they are, i think:

"My god, woman, who gives a damn about how your body looks... ?? Because just LOOK at WHAT it DID: My body created TWO amazing little humans!!"

And then I feel better.........

.....until the next tight-bodied young something walks by!

NaNoWriMo: Day 29 & 30 / It's Over!

And thus concludes NaNoWriMo, and I have reached a whopping 32 some thousand words. And I am POOPED! But I reached my goal, and now I'm gunna celebrate with a nice glass bottle of wine.

NaNoWriMo: Day 28 / Explanation of Day 27

For those of you who have not seen Stephen King's, "The Shining," this clip from YouTube should clear things up about my current mindset about this whole NaNoWriMo fiasco.

Christmas shopping is, like, so difficult.

Christmas shopping (here at B&N--I'm sitting here now) is so difficult because there are a million-and-one things I'd love to get everyone on my list, but I can't, and well, quite frankly it sucks.

And so, I just got what I could, and now it's time to get some coffee and get writing because I'm at the NaNoWriMo write-in, and well, that's the point of being here--not shopping & not typing this. Whoops.

NaNoWriMo: Day 26 / In Case of Novel Emergency

Here it is, Day 26 of my NaNo adventure, and I've reached panic mode. Luckily, our lovely co-ML, Cyli, gave all of us NaNoWriMo'ers a Novel Emergency Bag to use upon reaching this point with the following instructions inscribed:

1. OPEN BAG
2. PLACE OVER MOUTH
3. TAKE SIX DEEP BREATHS

She forgot one very vital step; however, which I've taken the liberty of adding:

4. EAT CHOCOLATE
