Let me just say that I am hoping with all my heart that November will be better than October. Mark will get more work hours back (with a handsome new smile) and everyone I love will stay alive. Then we will have a fabulous Thanksgiving. From my fingertips....to my blog....to God's ears, right? Right!
To prove my hopefulness I have decided to participate in National Blog Posting Month, or NaBloPoMo. Not coincidentally, November is also National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. Because just like the early Christians horning in on Pagan festivals with Easter and Christmas, bloggers want to flex their posting muscles the same as writers flexing their writing muscles. And there are prizes.
My sidebar is now sporting this very nice graphic proclaiming me as a NaBloPoMo-er.
This shouldn't be too difficult for me to pull off considering I often have to force myself NOT to post some days. Seriously, WHO KNEW I had so much to say?? I guess after 35 years of being quiet this is what happens.
So, my dear readers, I hope you will support me in this endeavor. It would make me SO happy if you'd leave comments on whichever posts you read. In fact, as I push myself to post every day this month, I challenge you to not be a lurker. Even if all you do is say Hi.

Now, so this post isn't just all about ME and silly NaBloPoMo, I will regale you with costumes and jack-o-lanterns....just in case you're not totally sick of them yet!

The kids' jack-o-lanterns. Like how the big one's got a crooked smile? |
Now I shall dutifully link-up these a-mah-zing Halloween photos with those crazy types who love this sort of thing...
So, here's to getting through October! Here's to Blogging!
And here's to you!
