Packages, and NaNoWriMo.

I got boxes today! Two in one day! Almost made up for the horrible, horrible experience that was today's Calc test. *eyeroll*

One was a "care package" Mom sent from home, with a camera and Parrotfish and candy in it. (The goal is to finish the book before November comes and NaNo takes over my life.)

The second one was my tri-top! Since I have a camera now, I'll be sure and take pictures for you guys... once I figure out how to get it on. >_<

In other news, my helix necklace ought to be here inside of a week.

( NaNo ramblings )

 

Update on NaNo and other things...

First off, a friend of mine (zerawolfe7) was very helpful in working out issues in my NaNo plot, and I think I've got it mostly figured out now -- as much as I want to have figured out in advance, anyway.

( Cut for lots of finetuning of my NaNo plot. )

And in other news, I recently contacted Kellogg's about their Frosted Mini-Wheats (upon discovering that they contain gelatin, which I don't eat because I'm a vegetarian and gelatin is made out of cow spine) to suggest that they take the gelatin out. Having used online contact forms before (for ABC, after Night Stalker got canned, and for CBS, after Jericho, etc), I was expecting a form letter in return. Instead, I got 1) an apology for the gelatin, 2) thanks for contacting them, 3) the sugggestion to try the organic frosted kind, which is gelatin-free, and 4) a coupon. The only kind I'd previously known was gelatin-free was the Unfrosted kind, so to find out about this other kind made my day. Sadly, something went wrong with the coupon printing, so I don't actually have a coupon, but they tried. I am very pleased with their customer service, gelatin or no.

Finally, in other, other news: God, I can NOT get that binder on. I tried again earlier, and by the time I gave up I had such a bad Indian-burn on my neck and arms that it looked like a sunburn. 9_9 (Admittedly, I'm freakishly white and turn red at the slightest provocation.) I can't imagine that I got the wrong size, but I'm starting to wonder. Suggestions?
