Shameless Plugging

Had I known having a baby would bring out the generosity of others – even those I never met in person – I would have gotten pregnant sooner, and more often.

I’m kidding!

Seriously, though, I have a few people to thank, and shameless plug at the same time.

Nada sent Thomas the cutest outfit a few weeks ago. Dave wanted to model it for her, but he couldn’t get his big foot to fit, so you’ll have to wait for Thomas’s arrival before you’ll see it.

karabu sent him a cloth numbers book made by her hand. It’s not only beautiful, but incredibly well-made. I know Thomas will love it, even if only for a chew toy for a while.

You can find other items she makes for children at: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5026538

letgocling will be letting her membership expire come November 15. While I’m saddened to see her go, at the same time, she’s following her dreams and passions via her new website at: http://www.karlakassebaum.com

You can read more about it in her entry: "Goodbye to All" 

As for me, all I have going aside from a continually growing baby in my belly is a pathetic Nano word count of 10,102. At this rate I’ll be lucky to make 25k. I’m not concerned or depressed by it. I’m honestly surprised I’ve typed that many considering I don’t have much of a brain to work with. This is my third year doing Nano, and this year is the first time I’m not stressing over it. I’m having fun instead. The story is interesting, but the characters need a little help (haven’t fleshed them out enough, but they do surprise me once in a while).

I think I finally reached a more exciting point in the story, but coming up with the motivation to see where it’s going is another matter.

I know. It takes discipline. Sit down and type, and don’t worry about the details. After all, I’m not having trouble now typing this entry, am I?
