Looks like it'll be a great day for lining a chimney.

Hmmm....the chipmunks are particularly frisky this morning.
He's coming!! He's coming!! He just called, will be here about 11:00!!Hurray!!!!!!
Can you tell I'm a happy camper?
Woo Hoo!
Crank the heat up tonight!
Poor guy. I hope he does better.
Will pray for the nephew. Luke had RSV when he was about 5 months old. It was scary, but he did just fine.
He's here!! Heat tonight!!
Don't tempt fate!!!
I just googled RSV, poor little tyke. We will keep him in our prayers.
They just went to the hardware store for parts....
"We'll have to put those parts on order. Should be here in a couple of weeks."
So did you make a decision about NaNo?
We're going to the local NaNo kickoff party here in about forty minutes. I'm interested in seeing who else is doing this crazy thing. Fort Collins had a wonderful group. Total weirdoes who were mostly leftist but great characters. It seems like every year more people do this.
I haven't decided for sure yet. If I can come up with the basics, I think I can run with it.
But I'm really stuck on the whole misheard prophecy thing. The story is supposed to center around that.
I'm not sure I could work around not having it.
What does the prophecy have to say? You could basically just distort the words into nonsense syllables. Could just the first part be the common children's rhyme and your hero or whoever has to research the history of it to find the whole poem?
There's a local party here this afternoon. In *town*. I haven't decided if I'm going to go. Considering the group here appears to be a mix of guys who just turned 21 and think being able to get drunk is a talent and women who are mostly self-professed pagans and witches and stuff.
They make the Fort Collins folks look like the more hardcore FReepers.
Erm. Hm.
Not quite in the same realm, but for my first NaNo, my whole story centered around an object that I couldn't picture and that had writing on it, but I didn't know what.
Heh...as I recall, I ended up having one character spend a bunch of time working on a translation, to give myself more time to work out the details. And did a lot of scribbling questions to myself in the margins to give my brain a nudge, hoping something would click eventually. That's one benefit to hand writing, I guess.
At least I got my potato back:
Heh...so now you can plant it and do it all over again!
Efficient. Kinda.
I was planning on slicing and baking it with onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and basil...
Hm...yeah, on further consideration, I like that idea better.
