NaBloPoMo ... Another year in the books!



Well, one more November in blogging land, and I've successfully completed another NaBloPoMo challenge!  I posted every single day in November - actually, this will make my 46th post in 30 days.  I actually beat my post record for last year's NaBloPoMo month... 44 in 2008 vs. 46 in 2009.  However, nothing I did this November came close to the excitement of this time last November.


I am proud of myself this NaBloPoMo round, even though I didn't pass out or have seizures or anything.  I finished the drill despite sooo many internet connection problems... many evenings, I had to start a blog entry, and then "Work Offline" when the internet dropped its connection mid-post, and I would leave my laptop up and running all night to catch the internet connectivity wave as it rolled back through in the middle of the night.  Anyway, let's not go into all that... certainly not with my precious hubby, who says the internet always works for him and this only happens to me. Weird.

I will say that I've enjoyed the challenge... and I've enjoyed looking at all the frequent postings by other NaBloPoMo participants.  However, it will be nice to not feel the pressure of must ... post ... every ... day.  As I say that, I should also add that you shouldn't be surprised if I post 46 times this month as well ... our December is just jam-packed with holiday activities!

Regardless of all the idiosyncrasies of technology, I did it - NaBloPoMo #2 is one for the record books!

NaBloPoMo!

Whoa, I almost forgot about NaBloPoMo!  For those of you who don't know - or who didn't read my blog last November - NaBloPoMo means National Blog Posting Month.  That means that, for the month of November, you post at least once every single day on your blog.

Last year, I NaBloPoMo'ed like an insane woman.  Even when I passed out at school, had five seizures, and spent the day in the hospital... I still posted.  Even when I had mono... I still posted.

So, can you believe I almost forgot this year?  November totally snuck up on me!

Thank goodness my two sister-in-laws Jillian and Trisha are on the ball with NBPM, and their blogs reminded me.  Luckily, I am such a posting freak that I had already posted a few times during the first two days of this month, so I'm covered!

I'll do my best to post every day.  I'm sure some posts will be exciting and adventurous... and some will be boring and no good.  But, you know what?  There will be one ... every ... single ... day!
NaBloPoMo ... bring it on!
