For Sven I am only going to post weekly my updates. I will try and post the w-o-t-d's daily ... but i would really just like to have some kind of link you can click on and see them as i update it but i am not sure how to do that yet ... give me some time though ...

on Irresistable Estate, i finally have it typed up. I did those 3000+ words these last two days, editing from my text as i typed. It was time i had a computer on my computer for i thought i lost my spiral that i take with me ... talk about having a nervous breakdown ... it was scary and woulnd never wish that feeling on my worst enemy ...

but until i figure out the link .... see you next sunday.

2morrow is the big day

Monday starts the first day of the 70 days of sweat ... i will be encouraged to write 4-6pages a day for the next 70 days until the dead line ... i can handle that ... but i might have to mix it up a bit ... working on different stories instead of just one .. i am currently working on about 5 ..

now its been more then a week since my last blog lets update ...

Halloween:
It was fun and my boyfriend and i hade a wonderful time hanging out with friends and being responsible.

this past week i have been sick with a toothache sine wednesday ...
it was either the stomach virus that was going around or the medicine i was taking that made me sick to my stomach on thursday and friday ...
i was doing goo on saturday until my puppy slightly hit me in the mouth while i was petting him ...
and the hard problem i have had to suffer is the sleeping part at night ... i have only been getting 3-5 hours of sleep this past week since wednesday .. last night was a first almost all nighter ... i took some nitetime medicine to get me through the night for i had to work the next morning .. it worked for the most part, except it made me dizzy and woozy all morning ...

but the all in all everything was good, i got to hand out with my 2 younger sisters and do some scrapbooking

my middle sister and i got into a fight but all things will come back together ... she is my sister and i love her ... either though sometimes we dont agree ...

well until tomorrow ...

goodnight and sweet dreams
