Dialogue. Get them to speak, LOTS. ABout nothing, just fill in the gaps - its the whole point of Nano and although it might make no sense and is just random stuff it brings yor word count up right?
Describe EVERYTHING. It could get boring for the reader, but you can always edit out the excess after NaNo, and then you might have a better idea of what things look like in your head even.
I've got the exact opposite problem... I'm at 26k and I'm not 1/4 of the way through the (incomplete) outliney-type list of events I want to happen. It's going to be a long novel, let me tell you...
My tip would be to pad. Describe everything, as Kalia said. It is tedious to read, but if you want to hit the wordcount and you are confident in the story, it shouldn't matter. Also, do not use contractions. Rather than writing "doesn't", write "does not". It's a two-for-one deal! (Actually, I've been doing this so much in my NaNo that I'm having a hard time using contractions in my other writing. It's a weird feeling being able to use the apostrophe. )
Anyway, good luck! And congrats on being so far into the story!
