*smishes*  Thanks to all of you who commented on the last post!  I completely forgot to mention some of those movies, and I love them so much!  A Christmas Story– we watch that every year, and that’s just one!  So, anyone who commented yesterday and wants some Rusty Keychains, give me a holler– I’ll set… Read More

Okay– I’ll be honest.  I realized that it was blog day and whimpered. Today, completely by accident, I ended up taking the day off. Yeah, yeah, I’d done a few things– wrote about a thousand words, replied to some e-mails, did a little promo– But mostly? I watched movies and knitted with Chicken, which I’ve… Read More

Mate and I got a lot of Christmas shopping done last night–I’m very impressed with us. If there was a fold in the space/time continuum and BAM! we wake up and Christmas is tomorrow, give us some tape, some scissors, some paper, and we can make due.  I need to write the Christmas letter– my… Read More

Hi, all! So I promised the Scavenger Hunt Recap. Following is a list of all the places I posted at during the Riptide blog tour for Christmas Kitsch. Toward the bottom of each post– whether I wrote an article or not– is a description of the scavenger hunt, and a special phrase, chosen from the content… Read More

 Okay, so I’ve been hunched over my keyboard as my uterus drops out of my body, and realizing that yes, sometimes a curse is really a blessing. If nothing else, the red scourge has forced me to slow down. Which is nice.  I’ve had a chance to knit– in fact, I’m knitting a scarf for… Read More

And I know– two posts in one night? But this one deserved it’s own post. The Rainbow Awards were given out this weekend– you can read the entire list of AMAZING books RIGHT HERE, but some of my stories got special mention, and I thought I’d say thank you. Lots of people to thank– Elisa… Read More

No. We’re not that delicate.  But, well, we are sort of running around, attracted by the lights.  This weekend was a busy one, with a visit to the Auburn Light Parade where the temperatures ran around thirty degrees F. Yeah. You read that right. Here, in this part of California, that there is some cold… Read More

ALL HAIL THE UBIQUITOUS BLOG TOUR! Heh heh heh — okay, so honestly, I’m not great at contests.  You all have seen me flail around, messing with end dates and just sort of giving stuff away because I don’t know anything else to do with it, right? So bear with me.  Imma mangle this badly…. Read More

I am barely caught up.  Seriously. Today, I actually posted a Tweet that said, “Oh hell!  I owe somebody a post or something around December 4th.  WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO I OWE YOU WHEN?” So far, a lot of people have had ideas for what that could be, but, uhm, doesn’t seem legit…. Read More

I’m sure those of you who read that last incoherent post saw this coming. I’m sick. Yeah, no, not twisted you kinky people you, sick.  Head cold, exhaustion, general blechitude– and I’m actually sort of pissed about it.  But being pissed did not get my ass out of bed much the last two days.  (Hey….
