title pic It’s NaNo time again

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on October 30, 2008

I haven’t mentioned much about it on here so far, but I’ve talked about it quite a bit on livejournal. In two days National Novel Writer’s Month begins. This is a month, where a variety of people from all walks of life pledge to write 50′000 words thus completing or getting a really good start [...]

Of the new layout?
Please let me know if anything is broken. My preliminary tests don’t show anything, but I don’t always think to check everything (like comments pages).

title pic Trying to be Positive

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on

It’s a rough time of year for me. I often have freak outs around November/December time due to history. This is actually the tenth anniversary of some thing pretty hideous (or it will be on Friday). I do try to enjoy Samhain though because it IS my favorite holiday, and turning a negative into a [...]

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on October 28, 2008

One of the things that I’m not keen on about having a house is that we’re responsible for all the repairs now. It was nice when we were living at the apartment complexes to be able to just call someone up if something wasn’t working properly or needed fixing and have them come and do [...]

title pic Wow, it’s COLD!

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on

I just went outside to take the trash to the curb and it feels freezing outside! I know whenever I talk to relatives “back home” (in England) they have a tendency to disbelieve that it could get cold in Florida but it does. This morning is a case in point. While it’s not cold compared [...]

title pic Self Portrait Sunday

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on October 26, 2008

This week my Self Portrait Sunday is not as clear as it probably usually is, because I snapped it with my cell phone while my son and I were out for a walk yesterday.

But we were having fun and I was snapping a shot of my room mate’s cat that was following us [...]

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on October 24, 2008

I miss a lot of things. I miss being able to buy groceries for less than $200 a week. I went yesterday to get a few refill items and it cost $96. It’s ridiculous. I’m filling out an application for food stamps right now. I hate doing it; but I’m willing to because we need [...]

title pic Let’s Pretend

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on

My son has started playing pretend and it has to be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. He’ll come up to me and declare he’s a puppy and bark and yap and pant and then he’ll be a cat and meow and purr and nuzzle me. Although the licking thing…that’s a bit creepy [...]

title pic I voted!

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on

I can’t believe I didn’t post about this the other day, but on Wednesday afternoon my husband and I went to the early voting station near our house and turned in our votes for the November 4th election. It was only the third day of early voting in our area but apparently I was number [...]
