Last night, Squish lost a tooth RIGHT before she went to bed. I had no one dollar bills for the ritual appearance of the Tooth Fairy (whom Squish suspects is not a real thing anyway.)  After asking Big T if he had any ones, I was told, “There’s coins left over from cleaning out the… Read More

Okay– I typed that in there without the dash and decided it looks like a special bug–like an alternative universe millipede or something: Behold, the manipedis, terrifying arachnid/insect hybrids with a zillion brightly colored enamel toes! And on that note… Today was “last gasp of freedom” day. The kids go to school on Thursday, and… Read More

Okay– so I ended up driving a couple of people from the golf course to their cabins over the weekend for copious drinking reasons. Mate was my copilot, but because he was the one getting “beard”  (get it? Beer in his mustache, so “beard”) I was the one behind the wheel. The second time was… Read More

The altar was so pretty,we had a friend takea picture 🙂 In fact, I feel much refreshed. We went to a friend’s wedding this weekend and the following happened: *  I sat in the corner and simultaneously read and crocheted an afghan while my husband and his friends golfed.  Sound lonely? Not on your life…. Read More

I’ve been having so much fun on the fanfic wagon that I was going to keep on rolling with some StOny (Captain America/Iron Man) because someone posted another meme and, well, squirrel.  But I’m going to have to save that for another day, because I have a wedding to go to in Tahoe, and I… Read More

So, yesterday’s post was Super-Bat… But, yanno… I’ve always loved the Batman/Robin dynamic… in fact, that’s why I wrote Under the Rushes AND The Bitter Moon Saga.   So, if we’re going for fanfic on that post of Batman writing the graffiti, let’s do a little bit of that.  (Robin, to me, is a very consensual… Read More

Inspired by a meme someone posted on FB: Superman saw the graffiti and sighed. Really? How many of these damned buildings had he crapped up?  Okay, a little laser vision, some cooling breath to keep the building from melting, and on to the next one. Five. Five buildings where he’d tried to expose Superman’s secret… Read More

*phew* So, if you’ve been following along, you know it’s been sort of a MONTH. Hell– it’s been THREE of them.  And boy-oh-boy am I glad to be back home doing my actual job again!  WHEEEEEEE!!! But in the meantime, awesome folks are putting out awesome books, and lucky me I get a piece of that… Read More

This is entirely tongue in cheek. It will probably offend someone (although that is not the intention.) It simply goes back to what I was saying a couple of days ago about the fact that there is romance in pretty much every sub genre, whether we want to admit it or not. And how I… Read More

Yeah, you may have noticed, I had a tantrum yesterday and the whole world tuned in to watch. I’m not ashamed of the tantrum per se– sort of wishing it was better edited, and that I’d invited some beta readers into my venting quite honestly– but I stand by what I said yesterday: Dismissing romance… Read More
