Happy NaNo-ing!

As many people could not have failed to notice, today is the first of November, and therefore the first day of NaNoWriMo. Hurrah! I’m off to a great start this year. It’s only Day 1 and I’m already at 3,773 words! That’s already past my Day 2 total and working on Day 3. Go me! I’m hoping to get a really strong start this year so I don’t get behind when my parents are here. I can’t believe they’ll be here in a week! I’m really excited.

The only problem is that Alan has to go play OpFor for a training exercise. Blargh! I’m really hoping he has some kind of weekend, since Veteran’s Day is kind of a big deal for the Army, but it’s the Army and nothing is predictable. It would just be really nice if my parents actually got to see him when they’re driving all that way. We’ll still have lots to do, because there’s just a lot of things out here. My mom wants to climb the Incline, but I don’t think she quite understands what that entails. I personally have no intention of doing it, but I’ll be happy to drive her to the base. LOL! We’re also going to go to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings and horseback riding at Garden of the Gods. I’m excited. LOL… Can you tell? I’ve got the bedroom all ready and Alan and I are going to do a major house cleaning over the weekend.

Anyway, I went to the NaNo kick-off party on Saturday and I went to a write-in today, though Panera was so crowded I couldn’t get anywhere near the group. I’m planning on going to a write-in on Thursday too. It’s at a cafe a lot closer to my house, so I can walk instead of having Alan come home after PT, driving him back to base, then driving to the east side of town, driving home, and then picking Alan up at the end of the day. It saves a lot of gas if he just stays on post all day.

Well, I’ve been sitting at the computer all day. It’s time to do something other than type. ~_^
