Dreaming.In.Reality

So.. November is just a day and some away.. Big projects looming on the horizon.. I may not survive.. For one who doesn’t do a whole lot, these projects are daunting…

First off is NANOWRIMO.. I have all 3 main characters mapped out.. I have had a few story elements running through my head.. but they’re all mid story issues.. no really hi lets get this thing started deals.. which i think worries me the most.. once i start.. or get a start.. the ball will roll on through…I’m eager to start.. but at the same time i dread it.

Secondly is 26 things is starting again the 1st of November. Hurrah for the scavenger hunt :) I’m looking forward to this for picturingreality. While Connect 8 was fun, I really enjoyed the 26things project a lot more.. I can’t wait to see what the theme ideas are. Sorta tying into secondly being photo related.. is the new layout for miaouphoto.. K has promised to help me get that going, and to work it all out, so that I am not struggling with it on my own.. so that is good :)

Third, are Christmas gifts. UGH. It’s good that I’m starting ahead of time this year.. instead of like a week and a half before christmas. I’m not being as adventurous as i was last year.. well maybe i am.. but at least i won’t go blind doing it. I already have 80% of bevie’s gift planned out, kev’s kinda sorta.. the rest.. i have no clue..

IN any case.. it should prove to be an interesting 30 days. Oh yeah.. and i’m starting my pilates program on monday . Hopefully the exercise and that will keep me balanced…. help work off the stress.

Sandi called me at like 945 this morning telling me to get a move on and get dressed*L* We went out Walmart for various things, then headed over to the den of no return called Michael’s Craftstore.. I picked up stuff to do part of bevie’s christmas present.. i also got 2 100 page photo albums that were on sale.. I want to go and pick up a few more. I’m going to be going through my photo boxes and taking the nice images out, sorting them and putting them away (see explination below for this suicidal adventure).. we then headed over to shoppers to get some makeup, tea, contact solution and prescriptions.. Scampering back ,we said our farewells and I came up to make tea. Last night, K, P, and C and i went to a Japanese place not to far from here for dinner.. and they had iced green tea. Now, normally I do not like green tea.. maybe my tastes are changing.. i don’t know.. but this stuff was damn good. So i bought some.. and i have 2 teapots all brewed up and chilling in the fridge..

Now for the photo thing.. as some of you know.. and have been dealing with second hand.. I am currently working on miaouphoto’s new look. I had sort of a plan.. sort of an idea.. but i never really thought much into it.. I should have asked for concrete opinions earlier on into this project.. but here a month later.. after having some design issues pointed.. i’ve scraped the entire idea.. i wasn’t originally very happy with it.. because i really didn’t know where i wanted it to go.. i had this look.. that i was just hoping would fall all together into place somewhere along the lines.. and well.. it wasn’t. So we were talking about scrapbooks and photo albums and all that stuff.. and i waslike why do you think i don’t have scrapbooks.. i’m too crazy concerned about them being PERFECT for me to feasably sit down and do them without going insane.. same thing with photo albums.. i always get done.. and there are like 5-6 photos that i find, and i;’m like SONOFA.. those fit.. in the first 3 pages.. and by that time.. there’s no more room to fit them in -grumphiss-.

I am absolutely terrified to the point of panic attacks of spiders. But I also have this freakish desire to take their pictures.. as long as they don’t move, or raise their little spider legs in that kung fu i’m now going to kick your ass bitch motion.. that makes me cry.

Something else scary happened Monday night.. This is something that just scared the crap out of me.. I wasn’t impressed.. but I kept him on my desk for the night.
