Weekend plans
It’s Halloween weekend and that means there’s going to be some festivities.
First off, tonight I’m going to rush home and get ready for the annual Matthies Halloween party. Last year was a ton of fun, and I’m expecting the same this year. Like I said in an earlier post, I’m going to be Cleopatra. I’m really looking forward to this costume. Hopefully, I can get the head piece worked out.
Then on Halloween itself, I get to stick around home and relax. Since last weekend didn’t feel much like a weekend all, but instead felt like work, I look forward to just bumming around and doing whatever. Hopefully, I won’t be totally lazy.
Then, at the stroke of midnight, I can begin writing my novel for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I’ve been waiting to participate in this all year, and I’m so excited. The gist, is that you have to write a 50,000 word (150 page) fictional novel between November 1 and November 30. You would be surprised how many people participate in this. There are at least 780 people in Boulder doing it alone. So I’m super psyched!
The work itself is going to be a mystery. I’ve never written mystery before, but I’ve read plenty. It’s going to be called “The Four Mansions on Lambert Bay” and it will have a female tow historian/librarian protagonist that solves it all.
Before it’s all said and done, I’m going to make some calzones on Sunday. Thanks Amanda for the recipe tip!

Sounds like a fun weekend! I am always sad to miss the Halloween Party. Sadly, that was the only reason I used to come up with a costume. Last year was a very half-assed attempt for work, and this year I am just not dressing up at all. Instead I think Jeremy and I are going to see Paranormal Activities and Zombieland with the free movie tickets his company gave him.
Anyway tell everyone hi, hope you have a really fun and relaxing weekend!
