Because we all deserve a party that's chock full of hoot, with a little bit of nanny (someone must get that reference, or I'll despair!)

Well done everyone - you've juggled jobs, families, friends, long commutes, holidays, travel and technical malfunctions (and sometimes most of them at the same time....!). But you've made it to the other side. And your eyes might be falling out of your head, and your back and shoulders hurt like no-one's business - but you now have a novel-length story. And that is awesome.

So - have some champagne

and some cake

and not forgetting, a big dollop of applesauce! (Thanks to the lady whose Blog featured the photo)

Well done everyone, you won! So pull up a chair / beanbag / etc., get a drink, and some food. Bring something to share, and post a link (not the photo here) of what you're bringing!

Totally here to celebrate my first ever NaNo -- and my first victory! It was a great ride, but now that it's over, I can lay back, get some non-NaNo writing done (I have a few RP characters who have been dyyying to be played for a while now and I've been ignoring the poor kids!), and finisht hat plot at a bit of a leisure

And I hope everyone likes chips and dip!

Fear not, Sammy. I got the reference. LOL

How about some soft drinks for those who are tea-totalers? (And if someone doesn't get that reference I'll be the one that despairs. LOL) Sorry, no photo availible.

Cheers, everyone! *raises her glass to all at the party* "May your Muses speak to you often and well, and may your ideas grow and words flow." *takes a sip*

Phew! Although I don't get your reference [bag] Or not that I obviously realise.

Mmmm, Appletiser! And some chips too :D

Oh dear. Okay, I'll see if I can explain it. (G) A Tea-Totaler was someone who only drank tea or other non-alcoholic beverages. It could be for religious reasons or because they can't handle alcohol for whatever reason.

Does that help? LOL

Hootnanny: something you shouldn't have directly after your best friend has returned from a prodigal summer in LA. Especially if her mother has a charming mask that raises the dead.

Oh - well I knew WHAT a tee-totaler was, I thought you were quoting a TV show or something, as I did!

Oh! No, no TV show that I know of.

As to yours, I can hear it in my head, but for the life of me I can't think of which TV show it was. I'm thinking Seinfield (sp), because I think it's his voice I'm hearing, but I'm not going to bet on it. LOL

Ah, then the cookie for a correct guess, is still on the table! [grin]

Just stopping in for my helping of applesauce.

Great job, everyone! I hope you gained everything you were hoping from this experience...and more!

Thanks to all! See you next year!
