Friday Quote


Friday Joke

A Minnesota couple decided to vacation to Florida during the winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday. His wife would fly down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail. 

Meanwhile.....somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home to glory following a sudden heart attack. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted. 

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read: 

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 16 May 2003
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is not as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!

ocean eyes (prep)



Hey guys! who has ever heard of NaNoWriMo? Well that's what I'm going to be doing this November!! :) In the last few days, I've been prepping and getting all hyped about it. So you can see a little of what it's going to be like, here's some of what i've been doing:


Here's my pinterest board. It's so much fun trying to find exactly what my character's will look like and act like. You should be able to get the general feel from my board. :)

This is the playlist I've assembled to write to. It's not entirely finished yet, but it's going to be filled with music similar to the music already on there.

Here is a little thing I did to help get to know my character:

listening ...to the waves hitting the beach, the wind in my ears
seeing ...the ocean change from green to blue to grey and back again, his face play over and over in my mind
feeling ...the sea breeze on my face and in my hair, amazed that California could really be this wonderful in spite of everything
believing ...that this was meant to be. 
waiting ...for something amazing to happen. 
loving ...my dear family. 
learning ...that some things just don't last forever, but when they end, new things and better things are coming. 
missing ...Alex and Minnesota (i think she lives there at first but not sure)
hoping ...that this summer is going to be just as amazing as it seems. 
doing ...nothing in particular. 

So now you know what I've been up to. Maybe next time I'll share an excerpt with you. :) Is anyone else doing NaNo this year?
