the_siobhanI am so sick. Sooooo sick. I think a quarter of my brain has been replaced by mucus. I have spent the last five days moping around being pathetic while the boys bring me hot toddies and pet my hair and say, "There, there" while I whimper.

Remember all those boxes and boxes of photos that I scanned? I do.
When my sister Dee was in town last October our father told her she had to clear her stuff out of his basement where she had been storing it, so she spent part of her visit going through boxes. Several of those boxes were full of, you guessed it, photographs.
She spent a couple of days sorting through them to figure out which ones she wanted to keep and then I offered to do the scanning so that she could actually spend some of her visit time on actually visiting. I am now about halfway through the box, on scan number (checks folder) 978, and I am beginning to regret my offer.
Actually, I lie. It's been kind of fun going through them and seeing some of the happy memories. Not to mention a few embarrassing ones. Holy crap 80s hair.
I have also been entertaining myself hugely by creating folders on her file share site with names like "Regrettable Mustache Choices" (later renamed to "Moves Like Jack Layton"), "Meringues on Parade" (for wedding photos), "I Honestly Don't Remember That Much Beige" and "Voted Best Album By Country Music Magazine."
What can I say. I am full of snot and easily entertained.

I think I've decided what I'm going to do during the NaNoWriMo Summer Camp. I'm going to pick up the concept from my 2009/2010 drunk writing and see if I can turn it into an actual story.
I have no doubt there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth when I'm actually sitting at the computer trying to chew my way through my writer's block by sheer force of will. But right now I'm really looking forward to it.
