NaSmuWriMo is still going strong sort of. I'm desperately behind, but haven't run out of story which is more important. I have retyped the first 30 pages (handwritten and double spaced) into the file, and I'm somewhere past 46 pages written. Of course, that means I am just about where I was supposed to be at the end of last weekend. This week will be a lot of writing. Tons of writing. Days of writing. Not exactly a surprise.
This weekend was pretty typical for me. Saturday was baking for the last of the celebrations for my husband's birthday. We got together with a group of friends and went to see the Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science. It was a lot of fun, though I am really bad with crowds. Afterwards we went back to our place for dinner stuff and a Giant Cookie. There were presents and the presentation of the best birthday card ever. We played games, including Zombie Fluxx and Monty Python Fluxx. The winning game for me though was playing a sort of Encore Light game. A person would think of a word in a song and the other team would have to think of a song with that word in it. There was no back and forth, but if the team couldn't think of a song with the word then they could challenge and the other person needed to sing part of the song that included the word.
I was a bit chintzy. I'm the only one that does a lot of Gilbert and Sullivan, so I used taradiddle. I love that word, and they used it a lot (if both Ruddigore and Iolanthe are a lot).
This morning I wrote smu and then alternated between writing smu and working on another chocolate peanut butter cake. This one is the shallow Buckeye Cake from the Nestle Meal site. I've made it before, but this time I replaced the ganache with the chocolate peanut butter ganache from last week's cake. I'm going to bring it to work tomorrow, because it is just not safe to have that much cake sitting in my fridge.
Now it is time for loathing and maybe some more smu before bed. It's been a tiring weekend.
