You guys, I really wanted to write something funny and witty and astounding for my first post back in like a month. But I couldn’t do it. I’m too exhausted just thinking about this week and all the shopping and cooking and baking I have to accomplish this week. Because Christmas SNUCK UP, yo, and nothing Christmas-related has been accomplished. It’s going to be a rough week.
So I’ll just share this fabulous picture with you. I wanted to share the karaoke extravaganza going on in the bar next door (It’s the End of the World As We Know It, anyone?), but the audio quality was no bueno.
I added the caption myself.
Those are BEDAZZLED UGGS. Not just bedazzled, sparkled and rhinestoned and epicness. Epicness, I say!!
I would never wear them, so don’t buy them for me for Christmas. I’d laugh in your face. Maybe punch you. I would definitely throw them at you. But I can’t decide if I’m ecstatic these exist somewhere in the world, or devastated that someone created them. Either way, mad props to the person wearing them.

...just like my life...
Soooo… NaNoWriMo has been an epic fail. Do you ever have all these epic ideas all the year round, and then when you actually go to lay them out, they’re not so good? Or, you know… you just forget them? No? Ok then, you can stop reading. I’m still going to try to get something, but at this point, I’d to write almost 3,000 words a day from now until November 30 and I just don’t know that I can do it. It won’t be for lack of trying…but logistically, not quite sure.
In other news, I’ve been without a kitchen sink for two weeks now. The repairman is, as I type, currently banging around in the kitchen making all sorts of weird clanking noises, so I’m just assuming he’s actually fixing it at this point. After today, I’ll be able to do dishes. Never thought I’d be excited about that, but that’s what happens when you get old. You get excited to get appliances for your birthday, and all you want to do with your Friday night is just be able to do some damn dishes.
Ahem.
November is turning out to be an ambitious month for me because I’ve also decided I’m going to commit to going to the gym on a regular schedule. Next week it’s going to be first thing in the morning because I’ve seriously got something on the calendar every night of the week. If you know me, you’ll know that mornings? Not my favorite time. Really, anytime the sun is up is just not a good time in my book. I think I’m part vampire. I burn quite easily. ANYWAY. I have an accountability partner and we will not let each other fail, because we’re friends and we’re looking out for each other. I think. Most days, anyway.
So. November. You and I are going to be friends. Possibly the kind of friend where I like you when we’re together, but only in small doses. But only just possibly.

NaNoWriMo
Today – November 1, 2011 – is the first day of NaNoWriMo. For those of you who have lives and don’t know what that is, I applaud you. Also, it is National Novel Writing Month. Basically, this organization called The Office of Letters and Light organizes online events that encourage creativity and inspiration. Their big one is National Novel Writing Month, where they encourage aspiring writers to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November.
So….
Yeah…
I signed myself up for it. I’m still not sure exactly what I was thinking, but I know that it’s time to step outside my comfort zone and try something new. 50,000 words in a month equals about 1,667 words per day. Maybe I’ll write 50,000 words of a best-selling novel. Maybe I’ll write 5 words of nothing. But the point is, I’m going to write.
EEK.

Avengers revisited!
Sorry, not to overwhelm you with awesome nerdiness, but I just saw this video on Nerdist and I had to share it.
And if you haven’t seen Be Kind, Rewind, you really should. It’s pretty awesome. It will also make the below video make a little bit more sense.
