YES!
I just finished sending out my first draft of my latest WIP to my CPs. You know that high of finishing a story. I'm giddy, nervous, hyper, and hungry. Really hungry.
We had fun at a friends' Halloween party yesterday. I found a bag of old costume pieces in the attic. I could've gone as a lazy pirate. Costume parts from when my husband was a Pastafarian one year. (100 geek points if you know what that is!) I instead took parts from a barbarian costume and went as an urban barbarian. Meaning I wore my normal clothes with skins over it.
My son has another Halloween party at preschool this Tuesday, and then there's trick-or-treating on Wednesday. A busy start to the week and then I'm diving right into NaNoWriMo. And no, I haven't done any more planning for it. Maybe I'll get a chance to do so one evening before Thursday.
My cupcakes didn't turn out too badly. It's harder to sculpt fondant than I thought. It was a good lesson learned. For fancy cupcakes, buy them from the store!
Your husband went as someone from the Pastafarian religion? Or as the flying spaghetti monster?
ReplyDeleteGlad you accomplished everything on your list. Those cupcakes look good!
A Pastafarian is a priest for the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Very close! And thank you. :)
DeleteYou are one energetic woman.
ReplyDeleteShall I add I took three naps last week? Hehehe.
DeleteAwesome cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIs a Pastafarian a Rastafarian that likes pasta?? Hehe, just taking a stab at it. We went to some Halloween festivals and haunted houses last night, too. Not making cupcakes though - I suck at baking. Yours look super cute, so don't worry. And congrats on finishing your WIP!
ReplyDeleteHehehe! A Pastafarian is a priest of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Sounds like you had a fun weekend too. Thank you!
DeleteCongrats on finishing the WIP! Your reaction when you sent it to your CPs made me chuckle - I'm get the same way. :) Have a wonderful Halloween with the fam!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you have a great Halloween too!
DeleteCongrats on finishing your WIP! I love the cupcakes! Good luck with NaNo! :) I'm in too! I don't have a plot outline or even a villain, but I'm excited to write it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have villains already planned for mine. They're stronger in my mind than the good guys. Which doesn't bode well for them!
DeleteThe cupcakes look fantastic... well done. I love them. So excited to be reading your WIP:)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you enjoy it. Werewolves this time!
DeleteI'm calling you any time I need spooky cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteChristine, you did a great job on those cupcakes. They look AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteLooks like yummy cupcakes - can I have one of those? And holy cow, you have lots of energy!
