And now back to your scheduled programming.

We are back from our jaunt in Europe!  It was wonderful and dreamy and I still can't believe it happened, and pictures are coming soon.  I've been reuniting with some besties from my adolescent days this past weekend as well so between a 24 hour stomach flu and jet lag and constant activity and traveling, let's just say my sleeping patterns for the last three weeks have been similar to when I was a college freshman.  Meaning I haven't been sleeping much at all.  But I can't think of a time I've been happier to be exhausted!

Also, it's November, which means it's time to get our NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) on!  Here's our progress so far.

I have some catch up to do on the novel that hasn't really taken a lot of shape yet, but I think I can pull it off again this year with some good finger stretching and the right amount of focus. So far it's going pretty well and, just like the last two years, it's a strangely addicting and terrifying thing to do.

To novel writing! And diet coke. Because the two must go hand in hand sometimes.
