And um, Mr. Turkey, Mr. Eagle has a thing to say to you too!

Now hold on a minute, you turkey, Our day is first!! Then you can be stuffed! 😀 lol

oooh PSA time

This is not a political post! However with that being said, this is an Important Message; PLEASE go out and VOTE tomorrow, and if you can offer to take people to the polls. I used to take the day off work, I’m not allowed to here. Some odd reason or another… anywho.   Women usually come up with a bajillion reasons why they can’t go vote! Number one, I don’t have transportation, so take that reason away and get them to the polling place to vote! Also help escort them into the building. I don’t know about where you live, but OMG it’s a wreck outside our polling places, esp if they know you’re a Dem! and omg a Liberal DEM! I’m twice as evil. LOL 😀 But I am polite and do not make eye contact and get inside the building, the other now known reason why I vote early, I don’t have to put up with the wreck outside the polling place. So yes, please escort them into the building. This year is an important year to vote, no, it’s not a presidential year, but it is time to get those slackers out of office. Like I said, this is NOT a political post, but if you haven’t been living underneath a rock, you know to what I refer.

So GO! Go Vote!

and if you want… make Me happy and post a comment here that you did! I’ll give you a virtual hug and smoochie! Yes. 😀 ❤ smooch smooch.

 

okay for the next few seconds… it’s a political post… LOL XOXO

Hopefully this button isn’t a surprise? LOL 😀

silly but motivational

So yes, as you’ve seen, I have the NANOWriMo widget in my sidebar. And I am loving watching that little red bar go sideways! 😀

As I’ve mentioned on the NaNo website, this isn’t to be published, this is the kick in the pants that I need to actually complete this story. It has spawned numerous little plot bunnies and right now. They are all behaving themselves and playing nicely with me. I’m a little scared, but also excited.

For those that don’t know; Plot bunnies- An idea for a story (usually used to refer to fanfic) that gnaws at the brain until written. Or from the wikiwrimo.  That’s why Truffles was a present from Hubs last year. Like I said yesterday, the spikes are to gather ideas and then zap me with them. LOL I forgot to bring her along today, but I have this cute little pic of her to inspire me.

Truffles the productive plot bunny!

😀 LOL I’m soo silly, but from my other friends that are writers, I’ve heard that they too have odd little things; a special coffee mug only to be used in writing endeavors, a pair of boxers that have bunnies on them (yes! I have seen pix of said boxers), a hat that can hold soda cans, and people think I’m weird? LOL 😀

Anywho, if you write or do another type of creative endeavor, do you also have something or some things, that inspire you to be just a bit more creative? I know I’m not the only one. But I am curious. Yes, I’m curious about a lot of things. Makes life more interesting, and conversations have a different type of depth to them.

Anywho…back to coffee and writing. Yes, in between actual workie stuff. 🙂

Nice Autumn morning

And I’m thankful for the heat in my home, in my car, and in my office. I love cold weather, it makes me feel alive, however there really is to much of a good thing. LOL And this morning, the warmth has felt really good. I’m also thankful for the support staff that made the pot of coffee before I got in this morning. It’s nice to walk into the breakroom, and TA*DA my coffee is ready to be poured. 😀 It’s the little things that really does make one happy. What one little thing on a daily basis makes you happy? My other is the perfect pen, and it’s really a cheap one from a retail store; the Pentel RSVP fine point. 😀  Otherwise, I bring out the one that Hubs bought me, lots of blingly fun! LOL now if only I could find it… lol 😛

I’m also thankful that here near work there is a stable wifi connection, and I’ll finally be able to post the November calendar on the creative blog later. 😀 yep, it’s the little things. They all roll into one big thing called Happiness! at least IMO.

so now time to get some more caff, and start the workie day! Ya’ll have a magical Monday! Be the best you can be!

Housewife’s Day
November 3, 2014 in the World

Housewife Day recognizes the importance of stay at home wives and moms. Also referred to as “Retro” Housewife Day. Intended to honour the housewife for her tireless efforts to transform a house into a home, this event has grown in popularity during recent times. These wonderful, caring creatures, build and enrich strong family environments. They help to instill family values and good character.

Housewife is an old term. It hails back to the days when one income could support the family in a manner of comfort. It was also a time when women did not have equal rights. While these days are long gone, women views of working or staying at home, fall on both sides of the fence. The decision to be a “housewife”, or stay at home mom, is still preferred by many. Unfortunately, income needs often necessitate going to work.

Today, we celebrate and thank all of the ladies who choose to stay home and tend to the house and family!

National Sandwich Day
November 3, 2014 in the USA

The “sandwich” is believed to be the namesake of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, following the claim that he was the eponymous inventor of the sandwich.  Today, National Sandwich Day, honors one of America’s most popular lunch items and is celebrated each year on November 3.

The modern sandwich is believed to be named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (later known as Lord Sandwich)  however, the exact circumstances of its invention and original use are the subject of debate.  There is a rumor in a contemporary travel book titled Tour to London by Pierre Jean Grosley formed the popular myth that bread and meat sustained Lord Sandwich at the gambling table.  It is said that Lord Sandwich was a very conversant gambler and did not take the time to have a meal during his long hours playing at the card table.  When hungry, he would ask his servants to bring him slices of meat between two slices of bread.  This practice of Lord Sandwich was a habit which was well known to his gambling friends whom soon began to order “the same as Sandwich” and from this, the sandwich was born.
