Oh no...

...here we go.

HOW does one do it? High school basketball season starts today, tho football season still isn't over. So I have to go to the football games on Friday nights to watch my girl cheer (not that it's a chore, it's just a pain getting ready and spending 2 hours there), and her first basketball game is today, and I watch her play (senior starter, this is finally HER year, whoo!) then watch her cheer for the boys' team at least 'til after the cheerleaders' halftime dance. They play bball 2 or 3 times a week, so there goes another 9 hours.

Then there's Thanksgiving. I don't have it at my house, we go to my mom's 6 hours away, but I have to bring a cooler full of food and certain ingredients she won't have and ZOMG I'll be NaNo-ing. And THAT's what's freaking me out!

How does one NaNo and do football and basketball seasons and Thanksgiving and also remember their mother's birthday and remember to feed the cats and bathe and get out of bed in the morning? It's too much! And yet I've won NaNo 3 times, once even with a book I'm proud of. (The other two are still WIPs.) I can do this. I CAN. I'm the Little Engine That Could. It's gonna kill me tho. *thunk* <--that was the sound of me dying.

If anyone can stuff all that into a day, you can! :)

AWWWWWWW. Your confidence inspires me. But may I still hide under the bed instead? *clings*

Of course you can... although I need to clear up a little first :)

Such a perfect icon!!!

You know I was an idiot and bought 400 icon spaces, right? I've filled like 260 so far. So it takes me 15 minutes to answer a comment because I just go for it and find the right icon. Yes, I am nuts. And here we go again, with the icon-maiking. (btw, I'm still stymied about the animated ones, even tho I have the program that goes with my graphics program (I couldn't figure Photoshop out so I use PhotoImpact...with I could Photoshop, sigh)

I could have a good go at 400 icon spaces :) I've filled my 200 allowance.

I used Paint Shop Pro, I tried Photoshop, but it didn't make much sense after PSP so I reverted back. I did have a programme that coupled with PSP to do animations, but it doesn't work with Vista and my current version of PSP, so animated icons are a bust for me now *pouts*

Yeah, Photoshop isn't very user-friendly, imho. I *can* make animated icons *see above* but they take me all day. >:(
