  My halloween costume last year which also had wild eye makeup. Since I was Medusa, I couldnt look directly at the person taking the picture, lest they turn to stone.

  I just read my friend Kristine’s blog and according to it, it is National Blog Posting Month. Much like NaNoWriMo, — see previous post — you post every single day of November.

  I have to wonder why November was chosen for this when there is so much going on? Thanksgiving is 3 weeks away (!) and that usually means you’re doing this and that with family and won’t have time to blog or write.

  But try, I will. So, this is today’s post. I can’t wait to see who our next president will be tomorrow, and am thankful I voted last week. (Had to stand in line for 2 whole hours to do it…can’t imagine what it would be like if I didn’t do early voting…)

  I also attended a kick ass halloween party last week with Kristine’s friend Lauren. Lauren has an interesting set of friends — they are all artistic folks who are the type to pick up and go to Europe and hitchhike across it just to say they did. “Fly by the seat of their pants” describes them.

  I always have wanted to be like that, but due to anal retentive German upbringing, just could never quite let myself do it. But I really want to be able to let go one day.

  One memorable moment that nearly brought tears to my eyes. Her mother said to me “OH, you were the one who had the cool makeup last year! That was amazing!”

  I told her “Oh, I did that in like 5 minutes, not really thinking about it.”

  She said,”You’re so creative!” and a part of me was so touched I nearly chocked up. I had no idea that I wanted to be the ‘creative’ type until she said that.

  So, I will try to be more creative: posting in my blog every day this month and writing 1667 words every day for my novel.

  I hope my carpel tunnel doesn’t act up.
