Help a starving artist ...

*picture here - site won't let me add one right now* OK - I'm not starving - though a snack would be nice right now, but you all know what I mean . . .

I'm gearing up for NaNoWriMo (midnight tomorrow)! I think I have a story-line. Can't share that (yet).

But, I would be very grateful if you all would be willing to help me. Last year I got hung up on my side-characters ... I want to be better prepared this year. So, I am asking you to share with me your strangest moment, weirdest relative, memorable occasion or anything else that stands out in your mind that SHOULD be in a book (even a bad one). I won't use names and things will end up mixed up enough that you most likely won't recognize your own story, but it would be awesome to work from some other families' insanities instead of just my own.

I'm thanking you in advance for your help. When I finish my "novel" those of you who contributed will get to read it first (or not read it, your choice)!

I have a crazy cousin who writes a book every year. ;-)

Every time I think of one, I think, yes, I should definitely write a book and put that in there...If I had a plot, I'd be so there. But that's kind of the story of my life anyway.

I recall my sister hitting me over the head with the telephone to prevent me from talking to my grandmother.

My 2nd son sleep-peeing off the 2nd floor landing down to the foyer.

My daughter, at age 3, running to me in Target with a sexy little 28AAish bra shouting "Mom, for your milks, for your milks." While other shoppers were laughing looking at my 36DDs!!

Arriving at our Honeymoon cottage at Anse Chastanet and making haste to the bedroom only to realize in the most awkward of ways that those wooden slats actually DO close to provide privacy!! Eeek!

My new father-in-law hitting on my friends at my wedding reception.

I'm sure there are better ones that I don't want to remember. I'll let you know when I do.

Ummm ... you totally deserved to be smashed in the head with that phone. Grandma really wanted to talk to me.
