Progress! I've knocked it down to 119,000 words. If I'm totally awesome for the rest of the day and tomorrow, I could have it under 100k by the end of the weekend. That would be super awesome!

And now I've branded myself as being five years out of date.

19,000 words is an additional seventy-six pages, though. I can do it. I've pulled other miracles before. I can churn out seventy-six pages between now and Sunday. Hell, I bet I can make it an even 100.

I'm so panicked.

Today's been a good day, style-wise, despite my period showing up two days early. Hello! Broke out the emergency purple pants, paired them with a black cardigan I had lying around, the new funky green earrings and black strappy sandals. Emergency diverted.

The cardigan's a godsend. I've owned it for about a year, but never bothered to wear it more than a time or two. I always looked so shlumpy in it...unti I wore it alone, just buttoned over a bra. It's still kind of shlumpy, what with the purple pants, but viola! Sexy plunging V-neck with 3/4 sleeves. Just another flattering top for this chick.

Still, I'm in the process of weeding out my wardrobe and updating everything with flattering pieces. It seems that retail's doing their quarterly sale, so I'll be hitting the mall over the weekend (even though I should be writing, yes, yes) and trying to find more pieces. I want a pair of flat front, side-zip trousers. Probably won't get any, though, seeing how I'm broke.

Stymied again.
