I don’t have many “meh” days. The kids actually ask me what I do during the day because I usually meet someone at the park, or someone in the pool, or see a meme or something that makes my day a little more interesting, and I just wouldn’t be Mom if I didn’t share. But… Read More

So, today I went shopping explicitly for snacks.  Me, to clerk: You know, I like how that bag of potato chips says, “Party size” when what they REALLY mean is “party of one teenager gaming all day on the couch.” Clerk: They really need to sell a size up for that. Also, I bought Lindor… Read More

She’s fine. There’s that moment in the Harry Potter movies, where Mrs. Macgonagal looks at Harry, Hermione and Ron and goes, “Why is it always you?” Ron replies, “Believe me, Professor–we ask ourselves the same question.” Geoffie. If anyone is going to get sick, it’s Geoffie. When she weighed three pounds she stepped on a… Read More

Okay– so I wasn’t going to post today, I was going to write a story for Patreon, but the following happened. I’ve been working on a pair of socks and I’m so close to done–like, one good conversation and some Friday night TV close to done. But there was a sale on this super bulky… Read More

Oddly enough, everybody wanted to know about my day. Seriously–I have repeatedly told people, “I live a very uninteresting life!” and about six people asked–but, oddly enough, I have something to tell! For starters–last night, I thought I’d lost my fingerless mitts on my walk, and I was much depressed. 🙁   This morning, on… Read More

Okay– so, sorry I didn’t report back last night. So. Tired. Also, I had to make up word count. But teaching at the East Bay chapter of RWA was a blast! Lovely, lovely authors–all of them kind and accepting, and I felt right at home. Their usual room was hijacked by somebody (there was much… Read More

Okay– so, VERY short post tonight. This weekend, I am, alas, not going to be at the Lavender Library with my QSAC folks–and I’ll miss it! *waves* Instead, Mate and I are driving to Berkeley tomorrow night (the older kids including my ginormous son will be here with the younger kids which makes me very… Read More

So VERY short post today– I just want to say, my life is a circus, and I’m not so sure I’m the ringleader. Picked the kids up from school–nothing. Silence all the way home. I actually got lost in my audiobook and forgot they were there. Then Squish was like, “I’m talking to my former… Read More

YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! So last month I was worried about February because January sucked so hard–but you know something? February is the shortest month of the year–and there are some awesome things planned for this February, including a chance to teach next Saturday in Berkeley. So I am going to WOOT-WOOT! and celebrate this February– it is the month… Read More

First of all, Mate is home, and there is much rejoicing! (yayayayayayayyayayay!) It’s funny how a Mate–any Mate–isn’t missed so much in the big things–the grand dramatic gesture of bringing me yarn, for example, although that was much appreciated!–but in the little things.  Touching hands as you pass through the house. Someone to watch television… Read More
