The Final Countdown: 20 Days

If you need some background or a reminder, here's the gist. Today is not Beta's birthday, but because of work and schedules and blah, blah, it's the day we're throwing his party. So it's going to be a busy one. Pictures to come soon.

Meanwhile, here's my inspiration today:

Caitlyn is one of the best writers I've ever personally met. Bar none. I regularly follow her witty and insightful blog The other Hairs. No, the other ones (she had me at the name) where she posts thoughts on writing, on things going on the world, and in her life in general. 

But she's currently creating Halloween costumes for her girls and recording her process here, which is a great reminder to me that life is full of all sorts of magic. I'm focusing on my deadline right now, but after that, life will go on, and there's Halloween's and Thanksgiving's and other celebrations to be had. So many good things to look forward to.

And isn't Caitlyn's sewing amazing? In my next life I'm definitely planning on adding that to my list of abilities. How did I miss that on this go-around?

Today there's a birthday celebration. Today there is writing and magic and cake. Caitlyn's blog reminds me to enjoy life to it's fullest. I'm off to it.
