I'm sorry I don't have a picture.  I have been working on things I just don't have any pictures.  I finished the tops of the cupcake (remember that project?) but I haven't put the "wrapper" on yet.  I finished the fingerless mitts for my niece except for tucking the ends in and started on the mitts for the other niece.  The thing that has been taking up my time though is NaNoWriMo.  '

I'm having fun with that but it's taking over more of my day than I thought it would.  When I was originally planning on doing it I was just going to try for one hour a day and whatever happened that was it.  With me basically getting the word count the first day I kind of feel like I need to get the word count,  I stopped timing it now but I think it's around an hour and a half to two hours especially when you include spell checking (I'm a really bad speller).  I don't necessarily do it all in one chunk either.  Sometimes it's in little bits through out the day so it feels even longer. I'm not really doing any editing except to make sure everything makes sense.  The plot feels like it's moving to fast and that I'll run out of plot (what little plot I have) before the end of the month.  There are things I can definitely go back and expand if I need to.  I'm in this weird space where writing is fun while I'm doing it but when I'm not I feel bad about how bad the plot is and that I don't actually know anything about what I'm writing about.  Right now I have 8,478 words and today's goal is 10,000. This might be hard to achieve because I have errands to run today.  We'll see how it goes.

I did catch up on my kdramas. Right now I'm watching My Lovely Girl (or She's So Lovable), Tomorrow's Cantabile, Modern Farmer and Pride and Prejudice.  My Lovely Girl rends this week.  Tomorrow's Cantabile and Modern Farmer I'm watching with my daughter and Modern Framer is crazy enough that my son can even follow it when he can't read so fast.  It has some crazy and disgusting scenes in it so it's not for everyone but it's not worse than U.S. television.  In the show they buy a puppy and spotting the puppy in different scenes is kind of a game for us now.  Pride and Prejudice has nothing to do with the book, it's a police procedural.  The plots aren't the greatest but the over arching mystery is interesting and there are so many good looking guys.   One of them, Lee Tae Hwan, is only 19.  It blows my mind, he looks so much older.  Some of it of course is styling but I was surprised.  The other actor that is in it is Choi Jin Hyuk who was in Fated to Love You. If I have time today I'll probably listen to my podcasts but I'm not sure I will be able to.

I guess that's it.  We have parent teacher conferences so that will be interesting.  I think my kids are both doing pretty well.  I'll try to make sure I have a picture for next time.  See you then.
