Well FED

on November 14, 2015

Sorry this is actually Saturday– Mate and I needed to go birthday shopping last night for Zoomboy and I couldn’t quite fit in Nano, edits, and Fanfic Friday. And Soccer Saturday.  I hope you forgive me– and I hope you enjoy. Someone *aherm* Asked specifically for Cartinski today. I’m thinking SuperBat or Stucky next week,… Read More


Reasons I’m a bad Mom

on November 13, 2015

Squish: Mom, I lost a tooth!  Do you want to hear the story? Me: Sure. Squish: Chatter chatter chatter AND THERE WERE EPIC AMOUNTS OF BLOOD! Me: That’s AWESOME! That’s a good tooth story. Squish: Thanks– is the tooth fairy going to come. Me: Uhm, I think the tooth fairy needs to walk from the… Read More


Two things– maybe three

on November 12, 2015

Okay– so thing one: The kids had a dentist appointment today, and I felt really bad about that. Seriously– it was their day off–when the receptionist (whom I love) called me yesterday to remind me, the first thing I said was, “Oh my God– I did that? I suck!” Anyway– I also wanted to work… Read More


A Few Old Things Made New

on November 11, 2015

Bound: Volume 1 Bound: Volume 1 by Amy Lane Humans have the option of separation, divorce, and heartbreak. For Corinne Carol-Anne Kirkpatrick, sorceress and queen of the vampires, the choices are limited to love or death.

I bet my feet were twitching..

on November 10, 2015

Sorry I missed last night, folks! It’s funny, how I keep thinking, “Oh, hey– I’ve got sort of a light load– I’ll be able to accomplish so very much!”   And then my world goes kersplodey and I remember when I used to think I was busy.   Anyway– yesterday was a lovely rainy Sunday,… Read More


Fanfic Friday: Knotty– Cartinski

on November 7, 2015

Okay– I’ll be honest. I put out a vote for who wanted what fanfic, and the results were frighteningly even.  The choice was Stucky, SuperBat, and Cartinski, and let’s just say… split. Like a trident. So, my deciding factor? Has nothing to do with the vote. I’m writing a category romance for Dreamspinner Press– a… Read More


We found socks!

on November 6, 2015

(I’d like to thank the person on FB who posted this to myFB group. Best. Picture. Ever!) Okay– it’s not really anything to blog about, but it is exciting. This year, I decided on three projects to knit (hey– knitting is in the title there somewhere). Project A: A family of socks for Mary-my-Mary Project… Read More


Mazeltov, It’s a Zoomboy

on November 5, 2015

My younger children are… Not popular. Not only are they not popular, but nowhere in their genetic makeup are the seeds of being popular. Squish doesn’t know how to play mean girls, and she had no desire for makeup– as she’ll tell you to your face, she is only nine years old.  She would, however,… Read More


Ball Experts

on November 3, 2015

So, Squish’s coach is a fit guy, as energetic as a psychotic squirrel, with a tendency to chatter at the kids without actually thinking about what he’s saying. He’s sort of adorable– the soccer moms have enjoyed giving him a ration of shit. Example? Tonight, they were practicing on the tennis court, under the lights,… Read More


*Kermit Flail* November

on November 2, 2015

So– We’ve survived the dreaded October, and it’s nothing but holidays from here on out.  I’m so excited! And this month’s *Kermit Flail* is really something special– in a lot of ways.   I know all of the authors featured this month– and have even flailed one or two, but everybody is here in a… Read More
