50000 word winner

Sorry I haven't posted much this month, I have a ton to post about too!
I've just been too busy trying and succeeding for my first NaNoWroMo win!



I hit 50,000 words today, a day before the deadline. The story itself isn't even complete. I've been working on it feverishly today, everything from here on out is quite exciting.

Post Crossing #1



Today I received my first PostCrossing postcard (part of my 101 challenge). It was from a 19 year old girl from Germany. The front is Die Frauenkirche zu Dresden which means "Church of Our Lady" (located in Dresden).

Neat huh? =)

Fabulous Food Show

I love the Fabulous Food Show. It's at an exposition center so it is a giant place filled with free samples of local vendors. Food Network stars were also there. I saw Duff and Jeff from Charm City Cakes.


They're just as fun in real life.


There was even a big wine and beer tasting area. The lady forgot to give us our tasting tickets when we gave her our entrance ticket. She was hesitant about giving us some when we realized we didn't have any.


Great Lakes Brewing Company
A green company and great reason to visit Cleveland!


I would say about 85% of the samples were vegan too. I was pretty sick of all the pasta sauces and salsa samples by the end of it though (there were A LOT!). Other samples (I had) were: jams, natural nut butters, apple butter, pumpkin butter, dandelion tea, granola, apples, coffee, chips, pears, Bavarian nuts, various salsas, marinaras, dipping oils, fresh grape juice, dressings, pepper dip and pinjur (from Trader Joe's) and such. There were more things like cheeses and junk, but go to the website to see everything.
Ohio apple farmers (see previous post) had a selection of apples they were coring and giving out as a healthy treat! I had a fuji apple. I also received some cereal samples and grapefruit Jelly Bellys to take home.


Some beautiful cakes and a Fall/Winter chocolate sculpture.


And if that weren't enough food for one day, Mom and I stuffed ourselves on various Thai tofu on the way home. Phew!

NaNoWriMo begins

So far this year I am keeping up with the daily recommended word counts. I will try and keep it updated daily at night (fingers crossed) in the section to the left! I have been going to local meet-ups and it really is helping me! Plus I've met more goofy people which is a plus =)
Please refer to my previous NaNoWriMo post if you have no idea what I'm talking about!
