Is anybody even bothering to take bets on my novel-writing abilities? (Random Tuesday Thoughts)
Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 5:13AM 
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 play video games try to write a novel. Cheers, y'all.

I didn't want any leftover candy so for our few trick or treaters I shoveled in handfuls of candy to each bag. They were really happy kids!
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!
