Date: THANKSGIVING Thursday 11/27/14 6:49 P.M. Perfect weather.

Mood: I hit the ground running today. I started writing for Nanowrimo right away. I've yet to hit the line once on the chart that shows I'm on track.

Eats: We had ham for dinner. We are having our Turkey Dinner when my boyfriend gets 3 days off so he can enjoy it more.

Fitness: I think it is illegal to work out on Thanksgiving. I did some ring juggling today.

Musing: I told someone I'd written a 500 word essay on gratitude today and he asked if I was clinically depressed. He said that is what depressed people do. I found that utter nonsense. That is what 'law of attraction' people do all the time as well as people that believe in positive affirmations. I think I'm a bit offended by his remark. 

Reading:  It took me a month to get Changling from the library, so now I'm reading it and loving it.

Fashion Update: I thought I'd get all dressed up for Thanksgiving. But then I realized i wasn't going anywhere but the park so I just dressed casually.

Fun Facts About Me:  I love petting zoos.

But now I'm thankful I didn't go because I remembered there is no knitting meeting today because of Thanksgiving vacation. Doh! Now I have time to catch up on my Nanowrimo challenge.

Reading: I told the librarian I'd requested a book a month ago and she looked into it and there was some sort of glitch, so she found another copy at the Apple Valley library and I'll pick it up tomorrow after pottery class.

Fashion Update: The Internet didn't exist when I was 22 with a decent figure. So now I'm trying to play model when I'm old and fat, which is kind of a drag, but better late than never.

Daily Musings – it has a Photo, a Mood, a Food, a Fitness Report, a Musing, a Read, a Fashion Update and a Fun Fact about me. What more could you need from the Internet? Don't forget to subscribe if you want to get updates.

Date: 11/14/14 1:15 P.M. Weather is gusty & a bit chilly.

Mood: Happy

Eats: I just grabbed some corndogs at the Lucerne Market deli.  Yummy.

Fitness: Walking around stores.

Musing: I got a bit of housework done this morning but I was getting cabin fever so I took the truck down to Lucerne Valley. The antique store was having a parking lot sale and that was fun. The building that used to house a country western shop now uses each and every room and closet to set up antique displays. I wish I could make my house look like that. I particularly liked the case full of tatting shuttles, button hooks and a 'nanny pin', a little tube that nannies wore to keep a needle and thread handy. It looked kind of like this: NANNY PIN.

Reading: I got a new journal to write poetry in. And my new place to write poetry is The Grind in Apple Valley, CA. 

Fashion Update: Working on my magenta slouchy cap today. I still think it is going to turn out too big.

Fun Facts About Me: I just had a chocolate and vanilla swirl ice cream cone.

My recently updated blog/s: I'm going to put a blog link on the side bar to the right.
