My Life Updated

So we finally celebrated that 10 year anniversary (11/18). It was funny because, during the same time period our sewer system had a blockage. That was sooooo gross. But at least this time, we could afford to get it fixed without begging people for money. It feels so good to be financially independent again. Times are good!

For the anniversary, we didn't do much special...accept spend some quality time with one another. On Thursday (the day after) we went to the theater to see Seussical.
I can't say that I was into it at all. It was quite busy and boring. Horton Hears A Who is more likeable. I think if I hadn't seen the movie, I may have liked the play a little more.

I am also actively writing my first piece of fiction. I don't remember the last time I wrote fiction. Let's just say, it has been a very long time; probably 13 years. But this novel is at the focal point of my life. It is something that I have to do. I completed my overall story outline, my chapter outline, and now I am working on my scenes. I want it to be a page-turner.

We have a writing circle that we attend 2x's a month. It is always relevant and keeps my creative juices flowing. I enjoy those evenings so much. We usually meet at someone's house or a coffee shop. Maybe I will suggest Barnes and Noble for next time. They have more seating room.

I spend a lot of time at the library now. I have read so many books. But I have also put down a lot of books. If I can't get into it...I don't even waste my time anymore. If I read the end, and it is juicy-- then I will turn back and read from where I left off. I especially do this if I can't find the climax point in the story. That's really good-- a book shouldn't be that predictable. So yea, a lot of reading in my schedule.

What else?

Well, my family and friends are fine. Oh, we are planning to get married in 2011. If the US doesn't have federal marriage rights available to us, we are going to Canada. I don't want to get married in some place that picks and chooses if I am equal depending on the day. Well, really, we chose Canada already--but I suspect, if the US gets its act together, we would stay here and get married. IDK. Only time will tell.

While I was in Florida, I did get to connect with some old friends. It was fun. But I don't want to be in the sunshine state for that long. Honestly, I don't need month long vacations. A couple of days are all I need: travel on Thursday, relax on Friday and Saturday, and come back on Sunday.I am good too go.

Well that's all for now. If I think of something else...I will let you know.
