Quilting, Pacers, and NANOWRIMO

I've had a busy few days. I've been writing but just not on my blog. My son has me involved in something we call NANOWRIMO which stands for National Novel Writing Month. The idea in a nutshell is that we start at midnight on November 1 (or sometime thereafter), and we write a novel. Our goal is to get to 50,000 words written by the end of the month of November. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, and noone will ever read it if you don't want them to. The idea is just to write. I am a little over 32,000 words, and I started my novel a week ago today. My daughter-in-law and daughter are also writing this month. We've been challenging each other, and giving each other ideas, and it's been a lot of fun. Anyone can participate so if you want to jump in now and write, go to http://www.nanowrimo.org/ , sign up, and start writing.

Last Wednesday, Bill was given the corporate tickets to attend the Indiana Pacer game at Conseco Fieldhouse. We sat in the Legends Bar/Restaurant area that is located on the level where all the suites are. We got to see the Pacers play the Phoenix Suns, and this was the only visit to town for Shaquille O'Neal. He's 36 and while that doesn't seem old, it is in basketball player years. I was thrilled to get to see him play. That was a nice evening and quite a bit of fun.

I have also sewn a couple more Dear Jane triangles.

Today, I plan to sew a couple more DJ triangles and work more on my story. I have been trying to figure out a way to do both at the same time. I brought some hand sewing here and sat at the computer yesterday, but that was a tiny bit counter productive.

Have a wonderful weekend all!!!
