Thank You, One and All

...for coming to our party this weekend. It was a thrill to see everyone there and see it go so smoothly! Considering that emmalyon and I did pretty much everything ourselves (except for the food--Special Thanks to Mary Mirandi for doing a wonderful catering job!!!), we were quite pleased at the results.

Thanks also for all the gifts and cards everyone gave us!! And thanks to dasmarzipan who turned the two of us into shameless Camp Lazlo fangeeks because of her lovely gift! I still get a goofy grin on my face every time I look at that... :)

We're thinking that's the last big blowout we'll have for awhile, as that took quite a bit out of us (energywise and moneywise, but we're not complaining), but I'd just like to personally give a shout-out to all the friends and relatives who made it up to Athol despite the rain. We deeply appreciate it.

And now, back to the grind...*sigh*... ;)

Monday

Had a very odd dream this morning where I trashed someone's bedroom. Out of rage and/or nervous breakdown, I grabbed books off of shelves and glass tchotchkes off of bureaus, pleased to see them crashing to the floor and breaking into pieces. Then I grabbed a small chair and proceeded to smash a window to bits. And the thing is, I really didn't feel angry at all. It felt more like a release, like I'd finally let go of my bearings and went crazy. Even the person whose room I trashed came in, looked around, and was rather impressed. I was convinced I'd lost it, as once I stopped, I looked at the carnage and realized what I'd done and knew I'd have to be responsible for it, but wasn't worried about it.

Relieving stress now that the party is over? Perhaps, but I don't think so. I wasn't angry-stressed about the party at all. I really don't know where it came from.

....

In other news, I've got a pile of folders that need destapling, and I think I may just stretch this one out to the entire day, as the pile's quite big. Someone dropped off a goodly amount of stuff in my absence so I've got work to do! I believe I might do a bit of pre-NaNo note taking today as I do this, just to keep myself from going nuts.

Also, I'm contemplating opening up another LJ account--a free one, actually--that will be friends-only so I can post my writing. Comments about writing will still be here at RTS, but the writing itself will be over at the new place. I'll post links to it here when I put something new up and someone wants to read who isn't friended already. So yeah--see the next post for a poll concerning this! :)

....

Things To Do This Week:
1. Check info on car insurance. Gotta do this soon!!!
2. Deposit money/checks. Doing this today!
3. Continue with NaNo notes, start outline.
4. Look for thank-you cards at local stationery store, if Emm doesn't beat me to it.


That's it for now, kids. See the poll coming up soon!

A poll! Yay!

[Poll #592200]

NOTE: When I get this LJ up and running, I'll let you all know what the new LJ name will be, and will let you all know when I'll be posting. Also, my plan is that anyone who wants to critique what I've posted can do so, and is definitely encouraged.

Thanks again!
