NaNoWriMo here I come!

Can you believe I am going to write a novel?!

I signed up for NaNoWriMo... National Novel Writing Month. That means that for the entire month of November, I will be typing away like crazy to make the goal of 50,000 words and one complete novel!


I've always wanted to write a novel. I have a handful of ideas stored up, but it's just so daunting. I need a kick in the pants!


I will keep you posted on how I do. Maybe even post some of my ideas and exerpts.


Check out the NaNoWriMo website for more info.

This one's a downer...



I know this is a depressing example, but it really struck a chord. This postcard is from my recent web find called PostSecret. It's an ongoing art project where people send in anonymous postcards with their secrets. Most of them are really sad, but they also make me feel like we're not alone with our secrets -- and thank goodness I don't have as big of ones as some of these people. There's some doozies!

This little piggie...

How cute are these little critters?! They are teacup pigs and grow up to only be 12 to 16 inches tall. Read more.

Blog Crush: Sweet Cakes!












Another blog that I just have to check every day is Cake Wrecks. I probably shouldn't be, since I have a horrible sweet tooth and it makes my mouth water, but it also makes me giggle like crazy. How could it not be a favorite!


Okay, so every day, they show the worst of the worst cakes created. That's where the "wrecks" comes in. But then on Sundays, Jen gives us pretty treats called Sunday Sweets, "Sunday Sweets is my weekly NON-Wreck feature, to remind you how wrecky the Wrecks really are."


Here's one of my favorite Cake Wreck posts.

And here's my favorite Sunday Sweet.

What's your most memorable cake?
