Busy as a.. bulldog?!

Haven't been writing to my blog for a while. Been struggling with my NaNo and been busy other wise as well. I'm a bit behind with my writings but it's coming all together. Besides I've already written more to one project than ever before, so I feel like a winner already. But I'm not done yet with the novel, I've got still some ideas left so it might well end up reaching the final goal of NaNo, 50 000 words.

Writing isn't all I've done lately. I've started to create some christmas presents already. Nothing big. More like something small and personal to add to go with the actual christmas presents that I'll buy. Too bad that I can't reveal them in my project blog just yet. I like surprises and I like to offer them to others as well. I've had so many christmas in my past that I've already known most of what I'll get from Santa so at least I'm trying to keep the secret when it comes to presents I'm going to give. I am usually the one who is wrapping the presents to christmas paper but I think it's pretty lame that I've wrapped presents that were coming to me.

Yesterday they started to renovate the elevator in our house. It's was pure hell to sit home the whole day. It appears to be that our house is full of elephants. The whole eight storeys. And not just that people walk heavily. Now they seem to get to the corridor in packs and they talk loudly all the way to the eight floor. It is nice that neighbours are friendly but I don't necessarily want to hear them in my own appartment.. And the renovating team. Don't get me started here. I'm unemployed. I don't have to wake up before noon if I don't feel like it. But guess what. These guys start their work at seven and the noise starts half past seven at the latest. So today I went out, shopping. So I wouldn't have to listen to it. What a bliss!! Not did I only avoid the noise but I bought myself a new bag and pj's for my nephew. I like the pj's I bought for him, there's a feisty bulldog on the shirt. And I absolutely LOVE my new bag. It is spacious yet it doesn't seem big. It is simple but there still is a catch. It is useful, fits my style and wasn't too expensive. Win-win for me, I would say!! :D

Tomorrow I'll be heading to Kemiö once again. Going to visit my dad because Sunday was father's day. I'll stay there until Saturday and then I'll go to Salo to visit my cousin with my mum. My cousin's daughter is getting her name on Saturday so I will be seeing other relatives as well. I heard a rumour that there would be also an other reason for celebration but before that is confirmed I won't write about it. Maybe I'll tell you all on Sunday when I'm back home again.
