So the Cave Troll got a hold of the old Warner Brother’s cartoons we have on dvd, and one day (about the time it dawns on me that it’s a gorgeous morning and he needs to be outside turning browner) he comes running out of my bedroom going, “I’m not the Cave Troll, I’m Sylvester…”… Read More

Thing the first: Yes–it’s done!!! I’ll give a pattern tomorrow or Saturday, but it’s done, and it’s gorgeous, and he loves it. (Of course, he’ll love it better when it’s blocked. Or is that me?) Thing the second: Vulnerable’s big book review! Yes, I know it’s been reviewed before, but this is it’s first official… Read More

(Since I’ve turned my kids on to the Rolling Stones and all…) I’m about 1/2 an hour away from being done w/Kewyn’s sweater–hooray, an FO!!! I’ve sworn off the Amazon.com forums forever…I just get to worked up…I’ve got too many other things to get all wired up about. We’ve finally made hotel reservations–don’t expect to… Read More

This first one’s so you remember that I have an older son, he’s ginormous, and to give you an idea of who it is I’ve been playing tug-of-war with when I tell you that we’ve been trying to share Harry Potter for three days. I won the war today when I finished it, and was… Read More

Okay…I’m going to crap up my perfectly boring blog with pictures made of shite… forgive me… Does anybody else do the SSK decrease the way I do? I’m just curious. First, I put the yarn over the left hand needle, in front of the next stitch, like this shitty picture will indicate: Next, I lift… Read More

I’m so tired of running errands… I don’t care if it’s grocery shopping one day or dog food the next or soccer/dance/karate/gymnastics oh God! or visiting people on the off hours… And let’s take a look at that visiting thing, shall we? I have been very blessed to have had three sets of grandparents–my mother’s… Read More

Okay, it’s 12:03 and I’m shirking my fiction time to blog–and can I just say what a sorry state of affairs it is when I’m doing this at 12:03 in the freaking morning? Anyway, I’m free of two of my classes, and I couldn’t be happier. My friend Barb and I got together today and… Read More

The writer of the shorter review took her review down! I’d left a comment on her review–it said, “I’m sorry you didn’t like the book (and I am!) but most of the action in ‘Vulnerable’ takes place in So. Placer County, not Sacramento–are you sure you reviewed the right book?” Her reply was that she… Read More
