It's stupid o' clock and I'm having trouble sleeping. I have a full day coming up though so before I forgot, I wanted to make sure that I'd wished the world a happy All Hallows Eve.
Don't forget to take the time to remember your ancestors, those who came before you and paved the way for you to be here, at this time and in this place. That's what All Hallows was about before it was modernised and besides, one day, you'll meet those ancestors on the other side and I don't know about you, but I don't fancy an eternity being yelled at because I forgot.
Have a great time everyone!

All Hallows Eve
Yes, I know, everyone calls it Hallowe'en and yes, I know, not everybody likes it. You know what though? I like the traditional name and I love the people dressing up and coming to the door. Really I do, it's my second favourite time of year next to Christmas and I am looking forward to tomorrow night even though I have a hospital scan to go to which kind of ruins part of the night for me.
Anyway, besides the horrid scan, I have a whole night of fright-night freakery planned for my daughter and I, and we can't wait!
We're going to be watching an array, an ARRAY I tell you, of horror movies, popcorn and chocolate covered apples are ready, we have treats for visitors to the door and then we're having a Most Haunted Live fest from stupid o' clock onwards. It IS a school night though so goodness knows how Little Miss Writer is going to be at school the next day and yes, it's completely irresponsible of me to let her stay up until she can't keep her eyes open but as she only gets to stay up late two nights a year, I don't see why it's a problem.
I was going to do some horribly freaky things involving the surgery scar on my stomach to scare the trick or treaters who show up at the door, but thanks to late planning and lack of funds, it's going to be me dressed up as roadkill answering the door.
On the plus side, I've sneaked in and signed up for NaNoWriMo this year and perhaps this time, I'll actually make it to the finish line. It's going to be interesting if nothing else because I haven't even made an outline yet. I've just a vague idea of what I want to write and I'm going to fly by the seat of my pants.
This should be fun.

Well, what do you know...
It's been forever since I posted anything in here, mainly because I forgot I had this blog. I finally remembered it was here after looking for a way to check out the template designer that someone was going on about. Yes, I'm lazy, what of it?
A lot's happened since I last posted and to be perfectly honest, I really cannot be bothered to go through it all again, so I won't.
I'll just say hi again and, when I remember, update some more.
