Well, THAT happened. Seriously– About five years ago I bought a bunch of bookmarks and thought, “Oh joy!  I have swag!” and offered them up to the world.  For about three years, I got a request for those bookmarks maybe once a week.  It was fun.  I signed them, I sent them, I thought, “Hey!… Read More

Okay– for the record, I’m going to cross post this one on both the website and the blog, because if it’s on the website, it will be around for a while. Anyway– When I ordered swag for GRL, I ordered a LOT of it, because I didn’t want to have to order ANY MORE for… Read More

It’s inevitable, isn’t it? After what amounted to eleven days of travel (and I counted the two days I spent at home in the middle, packing and doing laundry and getting ready to leave again) the first day back would be a zombie day. I napped, I edited, I picked the kids up from school,… Read More

Okay– in no particular order! 1.  Tonight I got to eat tasty cow.  It was a priority.  Trust me. 2.  Tom Webb really is as sweet as he seems online.  His Southern accent charms me to my socks.  I love him.  That is all. 3.  Andrew Grey is ALWAYS sweet.  I love him and I… Read More

Chicken will never forgive me for this picture.Her teeth are whiter than this–the light justSUCKED!  But she bought one of thosebunny clip things for her, and one for Squish.

I am here with my favorite peeps– my daughter, my bestest bestie ever, and really really happy people who like yaoi and m/m romance and who enjoy talking shop and saying, “OMG, they’re SUCH a cute… Read More

Okay, so months ago I decided that I was going to go both to Yaoi-Con– which is this weekend– and to GRL, which starts in a week.  Yeah, yeah, months ago, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I’d deal, right? Yeah.  You want to know what my head looks like right now?  You know… Read More

Apologies for this one–it’s going to be Autumn tinted melancholy, and I cannot seem to change it. So my grandmother is in the hospital today, and although it looks like she’ll pull through this time, the fact is, the woman is in her nineties, and pretty much, she’s not going to go home again unless… Read More

And it is once again time to play “what’s whacked in Amy’s brain!”  Today’s version is brought to you via letters I’ve composed but have never sent.  Please, if anybody sees themselves in the the intended recipient, feel free to respond!
