30 posts in 30 days

Today's post marks the end of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Post Month), a post every day for the entirety of November, 30 posts for 30 days. I signed up in hopes that it would make my writing flow a bit and get me to write every single day for a month.

this is post 30 and I must admit I am quite happy it is over, I tried to make my posts witty and meaningful, but I must admit a few of them were just a chore... and a few more were total cheats as I back dated a few posts here and there when I haven't been on the Internet for a day or two.

Today we went down to the Bullring in Birmingham, to gorge ourselves on Krispy Kreme Donuts at Selfridges. But mainly so H could go goggle eyed at the donut machine and tell me how it works. Then later on I wandered around to food hall cooing and fondling all the American imported food stuff... or should I say junk food stuff.. I really don't see why they have so much marshmallow fluff and Lucky Charms cereal.. both of which I would touch but seeing the packaging make me smile wistfully.

Lazy Sunday and NaBloPoMo

Today was the first day in what seems like forever where we haven't been working, painting, cleaning, tidying, shifting furniture, painting doors, shopping or whatever. The first day in ages where we had nothing to do so we didn't do anything. Aside from play Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, and get this we did it as a family, all three of us, and Mario of course. A small piece of bliss before taking H to his best friend's birthday party at a soft play centre with the usual chaos, bad music, and shouts of "He pushed me." , "She wont play with me." "He stole my car." etc.

I wouldn't be on the computer now were it not for e-mailing my dad and because I signed up for NaBloPoMo, the National (shouldn't that be international?) Blog Posting Month.. whether or not that actually happens I have my doubts but I will try my best to do a blog post each and every day of November, I managed two yesterday, and forgot to to say I signed up for NaBloPoMo.

M's Watching some dreadfully boring show about big buildings being made, or destroyed or whatever, then we will be vegging out to Stephen Fry in America, a little bit of Americana to whimper over.
