And now we are 41

It’s 8pm on my birthday, and I am ready to go to bed. This is because of (a) the time change and (b) all of the empanadas I ate for dinner. Here’s what we’re having for the rest of Birthday Week:

Monday: Empanadas!

Rockford and I went out to a pop-up empanada shop at a local bar while the kids were at play practice. We tried one of everything — pulled pork! smoked chicken! butternut squash! elote! apple pie! — and every single one was excellent. I’d eat them every day if I could.

Tuesday: Dim sum
This was originally going to be my birthday dinner, but then the empanadas happened.

Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner
Rockford pancakes for everyone!

Thursday: Poppyseed chicken casserole
Pete’s turning 12, so I’m making his favorite meal.
Friday: Pizza
May be frozen, may be Pizza Hut. We’ll see.

I found some writing prompts and then didn’t use any of them.

I did not do much of anything worth telling you about today, so I hit the internet for some Writing Prompts. I found 52 Writing Prompts to Inspire Your Next Blog Post, and Over 1,000 Writing Prompts for Students, and Monthly Writing Prompts for Bloggers, so theoretically I should be able to come up with at least enough to cover the rest of November, right?

What I’m going to do now, though, is watch “Almost Famous” for the 4,398th time with my husband.

Good day to you.

This does not bode well

This afternoon I mentioned to Poppy that I was thinking about not participating in NaBloPoMo this year. In fact, I told her, I was thinking about shutting the blog down altogether. She did not care for that idea. “Write about me every day,” she said. I don’t know that I’ll do that, but I’m going to give NaBloPoMo a shot at least.

Happy November!
