Weekend Update

So the weekend was a good one. Friday night was low-key, with a nice dinner at Gateway to India followed by a lot of hanging out at home. Which is good because Saturday took it out of us. We worked most of the day finishing up some badly needed work to get our place ready for a small party we had Saturday night.

We took care of a few non-cleaning tasks as well, including the hanging of 5 Beautiful Angle posters that look awesome. For those who like Beautiful Angle as much as we do, we have up the "Factory" poster, "St. Patrick's Breastplate," and the classic "Save Me" on one wall, as well as the "T-Dome Flower" and "Never Enough Parking" poster on another wall.

We have other posters of theirs we'll eventually get around to framing as well, possibly rotating them out with our current selection. Those include the Blender, the Christmas Tree, the Art Chantry co-designed poster, and a few other favorites.

The party was a lot of fun, with friends from all over Tacoma as well as a couple who made the drive from Seattle. We brought in a box full of cupcakes from Hello, Cupcakes so we even had Tacoma desserts for guests.

By the time we got to today we were beat from all the cleaning and then the party itself and we missed the Philharmonic, which we'd both been looking forward to. But we did have a nice and quiet dinner out with my parents at Paddy Coynes (love the open face turkey sandwich!).

So it was a good weekend. I got some writing done as well. I'm at 26,581 words in my novel for National Write A Novel Month, which means I've only been averaging 1477 words a day--190 words less than I should be doing. If you figure that there are 250 - 300 words on a page, I'm at least 15 pages behind. But I'm starting Chapter 10 and I'm on page 93, which is pretty awesome. Even though I'm behind, I've never written so much so fast. It's quite exhilarating and I'm very excited to finish. I've had to upgrade paper clips to a large-scale clip to fit what I have so far.

Still going strong, though. I'll need a good push at Tuesday night's writing meeting and then I'll probably have to skip Black Friday in favor of catching up. But I'm cool with that.
