A. Squish had a choir performance.  She was lovely–and I’m pretty sure she sang the loudest of anyone there. B. I had a hat to finish. Which I did. It’s really large and DAMN me for making gauge assumptions. I knit REALLY LOOSE to accommodate the way Fair Isle tends to schwack your knitting in… Read More

Okay– so it’s getting close. I admit it. And not all my shopping is done, and I’m still thinking I’m going to make my January deadline and my kitchen table is terrifying. That being said, there were a few Christmas things that caught my attention today. #1– Wayne Newton’s approach to Christmas certainly has changed… Read More

*** When you realize your son still has three paragraphs of his paper before he gets to go to the King’s game. *** When you realize your kids’ reading room with the great couches is named after Ben Carson, a horrible politician and a really awful human being, and your son thinks that’s okay because… Read More

She’s SNORING in my EAR.  *whew* Well, you guys really seemed to love the Dex and Kane short yesterday, and this makes me really happy. I think I’ll do another one this Friday with another couple. I’ve done Jeremy and Aiden on Amber Kell’s blog in November, so maybe not them, but, well, you know–… Read More

Aherm. You all asked for it. That’s all I’ve got to say.  Oh! And every time I typed “Dex” my damned computer tried to make it “Sex”– I think I out-Dexed autocorrect eventually, but if you see “Sex said,” or “Sex and Kane exchanged glances” know it was the damned program and NOT me! Swear!… Read More

Okay– First of all, I WILL write a fanfic this week– just not today. I had a REALLY busy week, and an edit I needed in, and now I DESPERATELY need to write on my actual WIP. Anyway– A couple of fun things before I bail to do just that. First of all– Last night… Read More

Okay– so three things, and then I’m going to call it a night: A. Back when I was teaching, I used to walk a mile four or so days a week. It’s not a lot, but my job was pretty energy intensive, and it got so I was fat and fast. I could walk across… Read More

Okay– I’ll be honest. Throwing my life out on the blog isn’t always easy.  After changing my format to six days a week, I’ve gotten better at the short and sweet story, and hopefully better at saving at least a little bit of cleverness for you all–but some days I am long on “meh” and… Read More

Okay– so, I WAS going to talk about how Squish dropped a fake plastic spider on me–and as practical jokes go, it was a good one–but the Rainbow Awards happened, and, so, you know. Change of Subject. Anyway– Beneath the Stain won first place in Gay Romance (the William Neale Award for Gay Romantic Fiction),… Read More

Wow– is it DECEMBER already? Seriously? Man– this year. *shakes head*  Don’t even get me started! But I’m sort of excited to end this year with a bang– I’ve got some awesome new and new to you authors!  Therese Woodson has graced this feature before, and she looks like she’s got a fascinating look at… Read More
