You may remember this stage of my writing neurosis from last year–it’s called the FOR CRIMINIES SAKE SOMEONE REVIEW MY FREAKIN’ BOOK! *sigh* Uhm, yeah– I’m not good at this part. (I’m not good at any of the parts– what the hell is wrong with me? Why would I want to do this for a… Read More

some sort of exhaustion wall just popped up and I splatted into it–but fortunately I’d already cleared the ‘Supernatural’ hurtle, which was a good thing, because tonight’s episode ROCKED. (Poor Dean–to have the absolute truth about himself shouted into a high school hall, when he’d tried so hard to hide it… OUCH!) Of course the… Read More

Okay–my older daughter’s obsession with Top Chef has just got to stop. We’ve already discussed this–calling me a cook is like calling 50 cent a skein acrylic “yarn”.

To that end, I have written and formatted my own rejection letter–you know, just to speed the process along and spare everybody some time, trouble, and pain: Dear Agent/Publisher–… Read More

Okay– I supervised a basketball game last night– the supervision was fun, but I’m SO tired… and I have a staff meeting tonight as well. I’m thinking I’ll get home, plant my keester, and dream about days when I could go walking four days a week! And now I have two whimpers and an ‘awww’… Read More

Okay, good news first. The good news is, I awoke this morning, after having finished a pair of fingerless mitts that I WILL have pictures of eventually (because I’m keeping them) and after watching four episodes of Season 2 of yummy-youngsters in a cool car with guns and ghosts (Uhm, Supernatural) and I felt GREAT….

Finished hotpad and retro dishcloth for friend (alas, no pictures.) Received picture calendars ordered in early December from Wal-Mart (you’ve seen a lot of those pictures, actually) Sent all of the above to final destinations. Went… Read More
