and a set of clear instructions he forwarded to me, you see below a copy of my NaNoWriMo certificate. Bless you sir!
Although I hope to stop talking about the novel for a good long time as I figure you are heartily sick of it!

I am happy to report that laundry is getting done and the floors are soon to be vacuumed and food shopping is next. My household should return to something approaching normal.
It’s been so nippy here, it’s very much like winter and I welcome it.
It has frozen some of the vines in the backyard that need taking down. This will make the job so much easier. Then the crab grass wars begin. My strategy for this year is whenever I see a green shoot poke out of the ground, I will dig to China to get its root. And the next step is to plant some nice aggressive perennial plants that will shade the crab grass out next year. Or at least keep it at bay. It seemed to work under the Rosemary plant, so I am going with it. I don’t use weed killers in my yard. I figure I am the weed killer. And when I am finished there here no “residues” left. Except a pile of weed carcasses. I am a compassionate person, but I show no mercy to weeds.
I knew someone one time that thought it was unethical to kill weeds.. . . Who were we to decide which plants should live or die? (He never had to feed three growing boys from the vegetable garden, poor deluded fellow that he was) He also felt that Bonsai gardening was unethical. He said it was cruel to make a plant grow in an unnatural way, and did I know that they actually TIED the plants to wires to FORCE them to grow in a certain direction?
Strangely enough though, he defended partial birth abortion. I guess in his paradigm of the world, plants rate higher than humans. What can I tell you. He was a nut. Shoot, he was a sack full of nuts.
Well, I am off to the grocery. Hubby made a shopping list with all the things he needs to make “green jello mold” (a family recipe) and a cheesecake. He likes to cook for a crowd. So I’m on the trail of 3 pounds of cream cheese!
And oh, he told me to tell you that I didn’t actually take him out to dinner last night. (He got home too late) and that I fed him macaroni and cheese …… from a box. BUT I DID splurge and we had vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s syrup. I hardly ever eat ice cream, but it seemed appropriate last night.
Enough already!
