For two years now, I have contemplated participating in NaNoWriMo. It would certainly give me the deadline and motivation to write a novel and actually complete it. I've been slacking over the last year, and with the large garden we grew, haven't gotten back in my "groove."
Starting November 1st to November 30th, people from all over, participate in this wonderful oppurtunity. I would have to abandon all thoughts of writing up a plot, characters, and story in advance. The idea is to start fresh from day one. Can I do it? I guess I won't know until I try it.

Wear it out,
Make it do,

Leftover Coffee
Typically, we never have coffee leftover after I've been up. However, today I did. I decided to use 1 cup of it to make 1-2-3 Coffee Bars for after school and lunch snacks. Not very healthy, but frugal.
The rest of it will go in the fridge, for iced coffees. The weather is good today and it sounds about as good as homemade iced tea (made with green tea of course).
Our coffee grounds are always composted or sprinkled in flower beds after we make coffee - nothing wasted.
