A Test Post
I upgraded my blog today, so I wanted to do a test post to make sure the functionality works okay. Crossing fingers! Dee […]

Diet Days
I’ve been at this for a week now. No number changes on the scale and to be honest, I’m this close to stabbing people with plastic forks–spoons even–but yours truly has successfully begun her diet. Again. I’ll tell you the truth. I fell off the wagon back in October when a strange swelling problem turned […]
Turned In Tate!
So, on Thursday I got an unexpected surprise. No Internet, YAY! Um, not. Didn’t get it back up due to needed cable repairs until Friday night, which—as you can imagine—led to some interesting back ups. My email still hasn’t recovered from the month long illness of mine and so I’m going to have to set […]
I didn't forget…
I’ve had company this weekend for hubby’s b-day. 🙂 I’ve been cooking and actually leaving my house for once. No one was more shocked than the people in my town. It’s not every day a yeti shows up in public. What can I say, I’ve been in a writing/work cave. Anyhow, a few tweezer attacks […]
Guest Post: Inez Kelley!
My special Wednesday guest this week is my buddy and the happiest bad girl I know, Inez Kelley! Enjoy!! *** Man-candy: the type of men who make your mouth water You know the kind I’m talking about. Those magazine photos, website goodies and oh-my-God pictures. Granted, it is all looks. The internet is a veritable […]
Returning To Form
It strikes me as a great irony that two years ago, February 14th became the very worst day of my life. Even the memory of that day in 2009 never fails to make me want to lock myself up in my room and cry. Two years ago today, my sister was taken from us. Two […]
Top 10 Secret Gems of 2010
It’s that time of year, when everyone is listing their favoritist books they read in the last 12 months, which is great. But the problem for me is…I often see all the same books (because, let’s face it, they’re great…or just really popular) or I see books from the big authors who have books in […]
Characters With Scars: Love Or Hate?
There’s a rule about telling jokes that is a warning to those who can’t tell jokes: “If you have to explain it, it’s not funny.” The same rule applies, in many ways, to writing. A writer really only has the length of her story to explain a character’s motivations, actions, behaviors and the reasons why […]
Writing…
So, I thought maybe I needed to try another tack for getting my writing moving better and I found one. Writing long-hand. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the glory that is typing. Typing, you see, takes the “crappy handwriting” quality out of writing. And by crappy I, of course, mean “illegible, scribbly, tangled and […]
What Would You Do First?
Hubby and I have a long-standing list of what we’d ever do if do if we won the lottery and got millions of millions of dollars. I think most people do, because it makes doing the laundry or cleaning the house a bit more tolerable if you can fantasize about getting someone else to do […]
