Okay! So here I am again, quite obviously not writing a novel for NaNoWriMo. But I do have an outline now. In my head.
Anyway, I can't disappoint you guys on Tuesdays, especially this month when a good many of you might be counting on this meme to get you through another day of NaBloPoMo.
What is it about writers and silly abbreviations? You'd think we don't take ourselves seriously, or something.
In case you didn't notice, Captain Dumbass and Middle Aged Woman have conspired to create The Zombie News Network. Now, I know why the Captain might hate me, but I don't even KNOW you, MAW!
Weirdest Wii accessory ever: Baby and Me.
My dog has gimpy knees. My dog food supplier lady just recommended Recovery SA as a supplement, she said it's worked miracles for her dog and many others she knows. They make it for people, too. Anybody ever heard of it or tried it?
I bought candy I'm not really fond of for Hallowe'en so that I wouldn't end up eating it all. I really should have known better. Now I'm still ingesting the calories, but not even getting to enjoy it.
Casey totally owes me one. In possibly the weirdest bloggy pal move ever, I bought a ceiling fan for her at Home Depot here and am flagrantly mis-using company resources to ship it across the border. It's mostly weird because I've run into stuff being available in the US but not Canada all the time, but never the other way around.
I'll take the favor in the form of a pass from this months HASAY weigh-in, because, uh, yeah. It's not pretty. See above re: Hallowe'en candy.
I often write blog posts to the soundtrack of my son chatting himself to sleep. Tonight he's making 'whooshing' noises, like maybe he feels like he needs some ocean sounds? Or a spa day? Kids are weird.
And now I'm going to slink off into a sugar haze and

I do totally owe you. How about I ship you the bags of leftover Halloween candy as payment? No? How about one of my kids? Want me to write that novel for you? Yeah, I'm not writing you a novel. Thanks again for the weird Canadian fan transaction, it goes down in the books as one of the stranger bloggy related interactions. Now go write your damn novel.
Sorry, I messed up the first link, wrong title. Too early for me.
I have way too much candy left over too. I begged hubby to bring some to work.
The Wii accessory is weird. What will they think of next.
I'm from Canada too and you're right, we never have the goods first.
I bought those mini butterfingers to hand out and then hid the bag so I could eat them all myself.
Good luck with the NaMoBloJoe!
I made the mistake of buying candy I didn't like for Halloween. Now I only buy chocolate. Thanks for still posting RTT--I'm definitely counting on Tuesdays for NaBloMaWhat.
I didn't buy any Halloween candy this year. We never get trick-or-treaters and I figured I'd do myself a favor. Now I'm doing Princess Nagger a favor and eating the candy from her bag that neither of us like. I'll be rethinking the not buying candy next year for sure. ;)
Happy RTT! :)
That must be some fan, if you have to ship it for her.
Imagine if kids had their own spas. HAHA
I bought laffy taffy. WHY? I can not get enough of that stuff. Laffy taffy for breakfast? Sure whay not! Laffy Taffy while watching baseball? Sure WHY NOT?
I took a pass on HASAY till New Years. I ought to have it figured out by then.
Good luck with NaNoWriMo.
Is there a connection between zombies and hating you?
I ate ONE piece of Halloween candy this year. Am I lame or what?
Do these comments seem random to you?
Am I finished yet?
Yes I am.
Is there such thing as candy that you are not really fond of?? That is like an oxymoron! LOL!
Good luck on trying to write nearly 2000 words a day! That is quite a task.
I didn't buy any candy because we don't get any trick or treaters, but since J-Man has allergies I'm keeping him safe by eating all his Reeses for him.
Good luck on the novel writing front.
Oh ya, kids are very weird
I did the same candy trick on myself this year ... not a bit of chocolate in there! And I actually lost a pound. Now - if I can find some recipes for cookies that I don't like, maybe I can get through the holidays!
Would you know how much we love you if I turned that Wii Baby thing into a zombie story? It's already a little creepy.
We love you, Keee-eeely,
oh yes we do!
We love you, Keee-eely,
and we'll be true!
When you're not near us,
We're blue!
Oh, Keee-eeely we love you!
(imagine that with harmony at the end, although I don't know if the Captain can sing)
Hey, howz about shipping some of that Canadian healthcare to me?? Hehe!!
Happy RTT!!
Captain how could you!!! I Hope the fan is awesome! Whooshing noises huh? Poor Keely not getting to enjoy candy.
I've eaten so. much. candy. in the past few days. It's embarassing. I can actually feel my ass growing. Damn you, Reeses Pumpkins. DAMN YOU!

Is it weird that I'm excited for you and the novel writing thing? I am. I wish I were doing it, but my chance of success is even lower than my nablopomo chances.
While I've never used SA Recovery, I DID give my arthritic cat a vitamin supplement on the advice of our vet. I was dubious, but the results were AMAZING. He was like a different cat (in a good way) so I say try it-you may be surprised.
NaNoWriMo is killing me and not even slowly. More like a brutal mugging where the victim is heartlessly left for dead. Write, write, write.
Very cool what you did for Casey. I especially liked the flagrant misuse of company funds-lol!
Happy RTT. :p
John said in no uncertain terms that the candy has to leave the house. It's now tempting me at work. Damn it, cruel irony!
My dog has gimpy legs too, I've been giving him baby aspirin but it hasn't helped much. I'll have to talk to the vet about the supplement you mentioned, it's actually sad to watch him hobble around.
Shipping a fan to the U.S. on company dime is awesome. You're so anti-establishment. ;)
So you're saying the candy is not helping you write your novel? Maybe you should eat more...
Send me the candy!! Good luck with your Novel Nano writing! Sugar highs are good for all nighters!
Why did you buy a ceiling fan in Canada? Are US and Canadian Home Depot that different? I figured they were all the same. I agree with Karen, I could use some Canadian health care. Good luck with the novel. I always buy candy I like. I can't stand the idea of throwing it out and I can't bring myself to eat candy I don't like.
Isn't that some sort of Interstate Commerce violation? Casey owes you big time.
I blog to the tune of my dog dropping her toys at my feet. Play time never stops for her.
Shipping a ceiling fan to a bloggy friend!?! THAT takes the cake....it's not even edible!
She owes you and she owes you big!
Awwwww, you spelled y'all right. I ahte it when someone spells it ya'll, it is a contraction people. (Deep breath in, deep breath out).
And I can't see the linkys on my blackberry. What the hell a$ I supposed to do while I'm stuck in this training all day.
As soon as my coffee is done, I swear I am going to go write those 2,000 words.
Isn't the zombie site fun?
you always find the coolest stuff to share.
I can't write a novel. Not that disciplined.
Hell, I'm not even smart enough to not link on last Tuesday's entry.
Brains! Keely Brains!
You're so right, kids are weird. I'm afraid the kids in this family may have shared their weirdness with the rest of us!
A baby? With a Wiimote? I never thought I'd see the day.
Proof that Wii was made in Japan. Or was it China. Anyhoo you get my point.
Thank you for doing this because you are right I did need something to write about lol
Good idea about buying the candy that you don't like...too bad it didn't work!
I emptied what was left of our candy into the bucket of the last trick-or-treater. Her mom looked thrilled.
Good luck on the novel!
I have not even started... Blah... I don't know what to do really...
I tried to trick Halloween and bought a bag of multi-types of candy, but only one that I really love---so that I would just eat the ones I totally love and leave the rest. Instead, I ate all but the kind that I really hate, so I too injested pointless calories. Stupid stupid halloween!!!
Um, you send ceiling fans to bloggers??? I think I might like an antique chandelier, one with little chrome birds perched on it. Let me know when you need my address. :)
Halloween candy is evil. I'm having a hard time fighting it off here.
Good luck with the novel. I have no doubt you could write it. I just honestly don't know where you find the time. I can barely keep up with one blog.
Stupid Halloween candy. I already have too much but bought more because it was on sale. Stupid.
i like to buy candy that i wouldn't gorge on, so the leftovers are only there for emergency sugar fixes.
yeah right;)

Yeah, that baby thing for the Wii is just a whole new level of creepy. I think I'll stick to Mario Kart when we get our Wii.
Now. Go write your novel!!
Aw, shit! I totally spaced NaBlaPoMo and now I'm behind. Thanks for the reminder. You should take the baby to get a facial at the spa!
We did the normal candy thing too. It sucks. Now I'm eating granola bars instead of M&M's. Dumb idea. I thought I would finally play along today. Better late than never.
Okay, so you're gonna think this is weird. But do you ever notice that you have, say, oh, 80 people linked up on this meme but only 45 comments?? If people are gonna link up, they should at least read YOUR post and comment, don'tcha think?
Okay, now that I've said that, I'm thinking I forgot to comment last week. Yikes. But still!
Anyway, that baby and me WII remote is CRAZY.
A little kid making whooshing noises to himself is my favorite sound ever.
My teeth are killing me from the candy. Good luck getting rid of yours.
Have great week!
Happy RTT!!
I ate so much 'extra' candy that I developed a sensitivity to sugar.
How creul is fate?!
Hiya! We're all in the candy boat. I think it is worse this year, because kids in our town were sick with the flu and NOT trick or treating, so most did not go out our door. Urgh.
Kids are weird, and how the hell do I keep posting on Mondays and missing RTTs?? For frick's sake.
Had a Halloween party at our school on Wednesday. Been eating candy, cupcakes, cake, cookies, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate since then. Terrible isn't it. But don't worry, I've been downing it with about four cups of coffee. Weeeeee.
I have just been to The Zombie News Network... So cool! Love it! :D
NaBloPoMo? Say what now??
Good luck with the novel, tell me, is it gonna be about Zombies?? :D
I came here early yesterday, but you haven't posted your RTT's so, technically, it's your fault why I'm late... LOL :D
Hi, just found you and hope you don't mind me joining in next week with random Tuesdays!
Also there is a blog award for your collection over at mine. :) Just spreading the love
I know what you mean about the Halloween candy. Stupidly, I bought candy that I actually like. I would have already had issues with candy that was just okay, but to buy candy that I enjoy was just a complete lack of brain activity on my part.
Hi, Keely! Wow! Case must really love that ceiling fan. I second the motion that it's just about the weirdest bloggy pal gesture I've come across.
Now Mrs. Bear's, Jen's and Casey's hours-drives to meetup seems so... blah.
have a great day! :-)
Just because you're writing a novel doesn't mean I've given you permission to stop blogging.
never did this random thingy,
so hope did it right, was fun,
thank you.
:-)

It's pretty sad what you'll resort to eating when you can't get your hands on what you really want, isn't it? I've eaten frosting with a spoon before.
Oh, hey, you still haven't posted new RTT's! :D
How exactly does one "feed your chocolate"?
he Wii accessory is weird. What will they think of next.
Work from home India
Yippee for RTT. Only took me 4 hours to write it up. lol
I haven't eaten that much Halloween candy. I did go overboard roasting pumpkin seeds however. Maybe that's why my blood pressure is high.
Get back to that novel!!
Dear Author www.theunmom.com !
I apologise, I can help nothing. I think, you will find the correct decision. Do not despair.
