Mornin' ya'll

I had an average number of trick-or-treaters (about 20). Candy was outrageously expensive this year at my favorite store, so I didn't give out as much as I have in past years. I had about the same amount left over as usual (way too much for my waist line). I usually have a cup of hot chocolate late in the evening this time of year. I had one last night before I sampled the candy, which was a very good idea. The candy tasted good after the hot chocolate, but I wasn't interested in eating any more. The hot chocolate many have a lot of calories, but I'm sure it's less than gobbling down a big handful of candy.

As I've said other places I'm writing this month, but not officially in the nanowrimo. The working title is The Black Spider and it is a part of the series of stories I've written including the way over-long novel Midnight and Noon.

Since I'm in NOTnano I can say I started the book last week and my word count as the month starts is 9614.

ETA - I just noticed that now when I hold the cursor over my icon, a little box pops up telling me, it's me. WOW! (Please somebody take the keyboards away from the LJ 'design' people, before someone really gets hurt!)

You can get rid of that if you go into Manage > Info > Viewing Options and you uncheck Contextual Popup. Yeah, the LJ people need to tone it down. Less is more, guys!

It is one of the least offensive of the changes. But this one does seem designed to make it easier for younger kids to use. Do we really want LJ to get the reputation of MySpace?
