I have misplaced my poppy.
Bugger.
(Although the main part of the 'bugger' is because I was using my silver rose stick-pin to hold thing thing on, which means I've also misplaced my silver rose stick pin. Which I'm rather fond of and have had since I was about twelve. That's fifteen years, people! I want my pin back! :-P)
Moving right along.
I've been missing for a while, due to internet troubles. Lots and lots of internet troubles. We have since switched from Rogers to Montreal DSL (or something to that effect) and now have wonderful internet, but lousy phone service (we need new filters, to say the least).
I am happily nano-ing away with a word count of (according to my own word-count, not the official Nano one, which I'll have to hunt up later today) 16,784 words. Yay! :-D I need to go and write about making tea from dried raspberry leaves, chicory roots, and Other Stuff over a fireplace fire in a battered, blackened aluminum sauce pan. And also about kissing. This should be fun. :-)
In other news: I have misplaced our weddign photo DVD, but Paul assures me that (A) he's got it somewhere, and (B) he's got the whole thing saved to his hard-drive. Which is good because it means that I can (in theory) e-mail the whole thing to myself as an attachment (probably in pieces), and save it on *my* computer, too. And pick out some photos to actually get prints of. :-) 'Cause I'd really like to get that done. :-)
I had a lovely birthday (last Tuesday, the 7th). Paul got me a copy of Pirates of the Caribean (original, not #2), which I'm *hoping* will play in our DVD player. He also got me a guide on how to write fantasy! Whee!!! :-D It's awesomely fun (although it does focus a *lot* on medieval style fantasy -- with good reason, I admit), and has some good advice. :-) So, yay! :-D
I love my supportive husband (even though he doesn't do any house work unless I actually make a point of asking him to do so). He is great. :-)
I also went to my first write-in. Ami_B took me out for dinner (Mmm... Earl of Sussex has yummy, yummy salad! And tastey, if spicy (by my potato-based standards), wings and samosas and stuff. And yummy, yummy, chocolate mousse cake. :-) Then we went to the write-in at the main branch of the OPL. :-)
It was fun. *Almost* useless for getting writing done (in part because of my lack of a laptop, but more-so because of the presense of people with-whom I could socialize). That said, it was still fun. :-)
Re: Nano: My faerie main character can't read. My human main character can. I would like to turn this into a useful plot point. It would be much easier to do this if the Faerie Courts (which *do* write things down) were, for sure, using *any* human alphabet what so ever. :-P Cause, see, it's one thing to be able to see faerie folk as what they (probably) are. It's quite another to be able to spontaniously translate Court Fae glyphs into Canadian English. See?
So... Any ideas? :-)
In other news: I got at least thirty squash in my harvet this year! :-D Sweet! :-D They are still ripening off the vine, though (Which is a relief, since most of my pumpkins weren't ripe when I harvested them). :-)
Next year I will be planting: carnival/sugar-dumpling, sugar-loaf/sweet-potato, buttercup, and small green (Anna Swartz?) hubbard, along with pumpkins and butternuts, I think. :-) So mostly small squashes. :-)
Anyway.
Breakfast (of some sort) and more writing await me. :-)

- Amazon. :-)
