Weekend Update- the Halloween Edition

Happy Halloween, Happy Samhain, Happy Sunday. Hope everyone is enjoying lovely weather and having fun watching the little trick or treaters. Not a lot going on, but I am trying to blog more, so I thought I'd borrow a page out of Charlene's blog and do a 5 things make a blog entry.
1) I've decided not to Nano this year, but work on the revisions and then pull my manuscript for book 2 together and see how far I am with that, and then go one from there.
2) I will try to blog more often. I'm going to aim for twice a week, and see how that goes.
3) I'm losing weight, and am going to start on getting in shape. In addition to using the Wii Fit Plus, I'm going to add walking once or twice a week, and am thinking about buying a bike. Once I lose enough weight, I might add running in, or at least increase the distance of walking. The goal, which might be sheer madness, is to attempt, with my sisters in 2012, to run the Chicago marathon. Yup, I'm nuts, and it is genetic. I blame my sisters. :)
4) I order to blog more and work on my writing more, I'm going to have to give up one of my Facebook games. I've given up all but two: Island Paradise and Farmville. Not sure which one to give up. In both, I'm working towards another expansion, and I think in Farmville it is the last available (for now), but on IP there is one after that, but it takes a long time to work up to. But both can take a up a lot of time, if you let them.
5)My allergies are driving me nuts. At the moment one of my ears feels like it has bubbles popping in my ear canal, all of the time. Nothing I do seems to affect it, not even yawning, and I've been yawning all day (which looks very professional, let me tell you). If it doesn't clear up before tomorrow I might have to go to the doctor. Bleh.
Oh one more.
My friend Katie moved back to VA (and her hubby Max will follow as soon as we find him a job), so now I have someone to go out to eat with, and we found a new restaurant, The Green Turtle, which makes a pretty mean Monte Cristo (not as good as the Green Leafe, but on the other hand I don't have to drive an hour to have one).
So things are looking up, and hopefully November will be even better.

Things are looking up here as well, and I have hopes that Novemeber will be an awesome month in what has become an awesome second half of the year. :) I'm glad things are going well for you!

And in spite of all of my "must do NaNo" thoughts & comments, I've decided not to play this year either. It feels weird to say, but I have a project I want to polish and rework instead. And at least I'm not the only one choosing revisions over new material.
