Ten random things about me that you will probably wish I’d kept to myself… 1. I almost graduated from college with a masters degree instead of a BA because, although I had 20 units more than I needed to graduate, I had too many units in English. They had to re-name a graduate English course… Read More

I wanted to do something big and nutty for my 300th post–you know, a contest or some sort of deeply introspective and brilliantly pondering work that would make the bells of humanity tone foreverandevermore amen. But really? I’m not in that sort of mood. About the only thing I have to report is that I’m… Read More

No–not my Wii-search, thank gods… Let me start from the beginning. Six years ago today, my buddy and I embarked on a bizarre quest. We both hate shopping. Neither of us regard it as a sport. Neither of us are ‘girlie girls’ who go shopping for the helluva it and a cool sale on lipgloss…. Read More

Happy Thanksgiving, first of all! My link button is still missing, otherwise I’d give you a link to Roxie’s new book–a thing I, for one, am especially thankful for. Besides being a constant, inspirational source of support, Roxie is one helluva writer–and her character, Sanna, is a spunky delight and I’m so thrilled to be… Read More

You’d think, that with all this quiet I’d be giddy,… Read More

The pictures are sideways, but I’m so happy to have pictures at this point, that I’m not even going to question it. I tried to load a picture of my tats, since that’s going around, but alas, blogger quit at two… (I tried to load two more pix of the party, as well, but, well,… Read More

The Cave Troll will be on Thursday. Bless his little heart–we were in the car the other day and he said, “Mom, I have Percy, and Thomas, and Molly…but I don’t have Toby…” And then he started to sing, “Happy Birthday to me…” Well, of course a Toby was the number one thing on our… Read More
