Busy, busy

Today was a laundry list day where bills were paid, work was done and plans were made. One of the biggest things I have going on is recruiting volunteers for the Resolution Ball (http://www.resolutionball.com/), which supports the Ellie Fund (http://www.elliefund.org/), a nonprofit that provides assistance to breast cancer survivors by assisting them with everyday needs. I am the chair and it (the committee) has been merged with fundraising and well...we shall overcome.



I was listening to Judge Judy, which apparently is "child support" and "stupid fight" day.

The Blackadder series (all of them 1-4, the specials and Blackadder: Back and Forth)
Roseanne

Falcon Crest
The Colbys (select episodes)

AMEN (if nothing else, watch the opening-one of the best theme songs for a show)

AS FAR BEHIND AS...

Well, I missed the weekend. There was a lot going on with finishing up work on helping out at Steppin' Out and sleeping. I liked sleeping and watching the Phantom Gourmet on Sunday. I did do some NaNo writing and cleared 2611 words. Pakistan has lost its mind and there is a writers' strike. I wonder if guildmembers will participate in NaNo now that they have some more time (or less-bills still need to be paid).


LOOK WHAT I FOUND:
