Five Random Thoughts on a Friday

1. I found these prints in Savannah, and I absolutely fell in love with them—I have no idea why that bird is wearing a crown, but I love it.


2. My attempt at making apple cinnamon muffins this week resulted in an apartment full of smoke. It’s like I need to take a course in how to use an oven or something.

3. Just bought my copy of Nightshade by Andrea Cremer! Can’t wait to dive into this one—I’ve heard only the most amazing things. I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those books that keeps me up until 3 in the morning.

4. I’ve joined an organization called the World Affairs Council of Houston, and they hold talks by experts in various fields. This week, I went to an awesome lecture on trauma surgery in warfare zones. You never know where you’ll get your ideas for the next great novel, right? :)

5. In preparation for my pseudo-NaNo (CLICK HERE to understand what I’m talking about), I’m going to cut down my blogging to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the month of November. Time for some serious writing, people!

Have a great weekend, everyone! Anyone have any random thoughts to share?

    Random thoughts? Well, I'm listening to the Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack right now, and weirdly enough it seems to be fuelling my art history essay along.

  8. I may follow suit with your Monday, Wednesday, Friday idea. I have a guest blogger from NaNo each Monday who will be featured. Wednesday are the wishes and Fridays are FUN Fridays so those shouldn't be too hard to maintain. I get some of my best ideas from you! ;-) Super excited for NaNo!! And LOVE those prints. Where are you going to hang them?

    I love that the bird is randomly wearing a crown.

    Nightshade looks really good. It IS on my list.

    I think all NaNo goers are going to be sketchy bloggers come November... okay, well at least I will be.

  11. I know why. The bird with the crown is whimsical and very fairytalesque :)

    Did you find them in a little shop?

    BTW, baking is tough! Don't beat yourself up. Maybe you should buy your self an old fashioned little egg timer :)
