hum, hum, tiddle-diddle-um

Eyore stood and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly, "Why?"  and sometimes he thought "wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

"Don't you think there are more wishes, more wishes inside of you?" Piglet asked.

The nicest thing about the rain is that it always stops eventually. – Eeyore

That's what friends are for. They help you to be more of who you are. –Christopher Robin

Lets begin by taking a smallish nap or two... - Pooh

Friends can be new, friends can be old. All of them are as precious as gold. –Roo

With you here, I know that life is much more fun. –Pooh

"Pooh," asked piglet, "What is the first thing you think when you get up in the morning?" "What's for breakfast." said Pooh. "What do you think of Piglet?" "I think 'I wonder what exciting thing will happen today?" Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's always the same."

Could be worse. Not sure how, but it could be. –Eeyore

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words. –Pooh

[Talk to mirror] Oh, hello. Am I glad to see you. It's more friendly with two. Now, you go that way, and I'll go this way. –Pooh

Here you are my friend, what could be more right? –Pooh

Some people care too much. I think it's called love. -Pooh

Oh d-d-d-dear, I musn’t f-f-f-fear. There’s a very important thing to do. –Piglet

Christopher Robin: “What do you like doing best in the world?” | Pooh: “What I like best is me going to visit you.”

Piglet: "How do you spell 'love'?" Pooh: "You don't spell it, you feel it."

People say nothing is Impossible, but I do nothing all the time. -Pooh

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart- Pooh

"What?" said piglet with a jump. And then, to show that he hadn't been frightened, he jumped up and down once or twice in an exercising sort of way.

Just a bit of Winnie the Pooh goodness for you.

don't hate me, please

Today I realized that I was following nearly 50 blogs (That is a lot for me people).  as much as I'd love to, I really can't just go back and read every single post from everyone, and really it wasn't helping me with my goal to do more productive stuff with my time. 
And so as painful as it was, I decided to narrow it down to my absolute favorites, so as to not get sucked into all the lovely posts to be reading, and pictures to look at, and links to click, so that maybe now I wont sit back blinking and realize "wow, I've been staring at a screen for five hours."

If I've stopped following your blog, I'm sorry, a little piece of me died inside to click the "stop following" button. I really have nothing against you, or just hated your blog or anything, and I hope you understand :)

yes,  I know, I just disappeared off the face of the earth this November, without saying so, or waving goodbye, or leaving a note, and I had no right to do so. The thing is I really meant to do all three, saying that I would be too busy this month to post much, but I waited too long and never got a chance.  So pull up a chair, have some tea, (or eggnog as I prefer this time of year) and we will do some badly needed catching up.

NaNoWriMo was a fail. If only it were any other month but November! 

my goal: 50,000

my achievement: 725

*fail*

I hope you had a good thanksgiving, This is one of those times I'm very thankful for having a large family. *Three Thanksgiving dinners*

I also went on vacation and saw the ocean for the first time since I was one.
That was particularly terrifical, if I do say so. (prepare yourself for a legion of pictures)

Disney Land was twice as better, because it was all decorated for Christmas.

(ugh, i look ridiculous in that picture) funny story, I lost my sunglasses in Disney land, so I went to the lost and found and they said if they found them they would mail them to me. They mailed me some a few days ago, and although they are almost exactly the same I can tell they aren't mine. I switched glasses with some unknown person in Disney land. I'm not quite sure how I should feel about that :/

This is so Holly's future car.

my mum gets most of the photo credit :)

I'm so glad to be back to blogging, and a personal thank you to you guys who did not hit the *stop following* button. You are very much appreciated :)

and so I end with this picture that I love oh so much:

The morning after rain

yesterday I woke up to a positively dreamy fall morning. The sky was low, and the clouds were dreary and gray. It might have been too gloomy if there wasn't golden leaves draping everything. but there was, and was beautiful. It was that hazy kind of morning where you could sit inside cuddled in your favorite sweater, drink some coffee and not worry about anything because there was nothing to worry about. like the whole world decided to sleep in.

of course, outside my little world, there was still this ghastly thing called school. I could not concentrate on anything, I kept looking out the window wishing I could take pictures. 

I will probably be waking up early each morning for a while, because if we are so lucky to get such a morning again, I promise to share some pictures with you!

November is coming...

 I apologize for my lack of posts, I am focusing for the time being on more sewing and crafts so I can open up an etsy shop soon!

And that means NaNoWriMo!!!

(national novel writing month)

This will be my first year doing it, and frankly I can't decide if I'm stoked or terrified. Probably both.

and here is a beautiful people questionare on the book. yourwelcome.

1. Sum up your novel in five words, or less.

turmoil, redemption, adventure, chaos, love.   

2. Novel title?

The Rising Epoch (or until I can think of something more suitable) 

3. Sum up your main character(s) in one word.

Kora: ...I'm sorry, that's impossible- I've been sitting here for fifteen minuets trying.

 Amser: dependable. Cale: passionate. Elizebeth: kind.  

4. Advice for newbies in three words?

don't ask me. 

5. Tell us about your secondary characters, how do they affect the story?

I don't know if Amser, Cale, and Elizebeth are technically secondary characters, even though they aren't as main character-ish as Kora. They are the ones that launch Kora on a head-spinning of a journey and are with her every step of the way.  

6. Do you plan on staying up till midnight on the 31st?

I wasn't planning on it but that is probably what will end up happening.

7. How many years have you done NaNo?

This will be my first!

8. What came first, characters, or plot idea?

Characters! That usually happens with my storys. A character pops up unexpectedly on the edge of my mind (more than likely disturbing my sleep) and says, "hello, let me tell you about myself and my wonderful adventure."

9. How much prep do you do before November?

 The charachters, basic backround and setting, and random ideas. (in other words I'm pretty unprepared. october is going fast.)

10. Now be honest, how do you really feel about NaNo?

Again, I'm stoked and terrified. I know the novel will be awful and if it ever wants to get published will have to go through some major purgatory rewrite, but I like the idea of just writing and writing without worrying about that stuff.

I will try to keep you posted on the book, and maybe do the extra challenge on the characters by beautiful people!

okloveyoubye.
