Friday Five

1. Writing continues. I'm less than 10 K away from my target. So I'm definitely plodding along. Haven't really been working on Code Monkey too because of 2.

2. Cold and flu season struck! Nasty cold or flu? I dunno but geesh, it sucked. I was ready to throw in the towel a few times. Youngest didn't feel well and got better quicker than I did. *sigh* I think I'm old.

3. I was feeling pretty lousy last Friday so not only did I read Hunger Games but I read the second book by Suzanne Collins, too. Wow. The dystopian universe that's been created is bleak and utterly captivating. Katniss is a wonderful protagonist. She's not perfect and I identified with her immediately. Gale and Peeta are both engrossing characters and I find myself liking both of them. Oldest and I definitely want the third book soon!

4. Oldest can't decide what to be for Halloween. We have a Halloween party tomorrow night. Not sure what we're going to do about that. I told her she should be Katniss. Youngest wanted to be a Daleck but wound up going for a devil because she wasn't sure she could or would have time to make something.

5. Pssst??? Get ready for Sam Cheever's Trick or Treat contest!

May the muses have treats
