How I did it: We had to postpone due to illness, but I used an article at www.thingamababy.com/baby/2007/12/cookieparty.html for many general tips, and got a few suggestions from 43things folks and coworkers who throw parties like this every year.

30000 words to go.
I need action, that’s what I need. I’m not making tons of progress, but Ish (thank you!) made a suggestion for a direction I might try and while I’m not exactly there (perhaps I can get there later?) I finally managed to throw in some action with my increasingly cloying conversations.
But that’s 3000 words further than yesterday morning, so I’m happy there. I suspect today will be crazy and that since I got up early to write I might fall asleep at 7:30. But I’ll try to fit in some writing if work is slow. As usual.
Action. New mantra. Action.
