Okay, watch the video first. Seriously. It’s crucial to the whole rest of the post. Did you hear that? He said that children lied their heads off! He said “I was dead at the time! I was on the moon! With Steve!” So now we know who it was that made your children do that… Read More

Okay– you all know that the highlight of my summer is my kids–for always and forever, and we had some VERY good moments. But from a strictly writing standpoint, here are ten reasons that summer belonged to me… 12345678910 I don’t know how I feel about this–I mean, on the one hand I”m psyched… and… Read More

So, I was having a little discussion with my editor today (okay– it still makes me feel very swank saying that. Forgive me. I have so very little opportunities for swank.) I told her I was going in to work for a little bit of time and she wondered that I was going back so… Read More

I’ll give you three guesses as to what that dark thing is in the picture. If you’ve ever owned one of the god’s (damned) companions, you will only need one. (Keep in mind, folks, that I took this picture from my computer keyboard, while looking at my screen. Uhm-hm. Yeah. Fucking cat.)

Last night was the first night of soccer practice for the season! OI! We’re lucky this year– last year, we had a practice on M/W, one on T/Th, a game on Friday and one on Saturday. This year, we don’t have the practice on T/Th–and I’m thinking that’s a blessing. We still have dance, but… Read More

So Mate took Squish and Zoomboy to the park and gymnastics while I was home, hosting the ‘chat’. I always feel a little silly at those things–but there were around twenty visitors, and everyone was really sweet, so I think it went well. Anyway, when it was over, first I walked around the block barefoot… Read More

Okay– this is me, doing publicity for, well, myself. (Thrilled? I thought so. Me too–pass that cyber-valium now, baby, I’m too charged for words!) So this is Squishie, and that thing she’s holding is NOT a hat. It is, in fact, a silk-ribbon purse I made for my daughter’s friend’s Quinceanara, but we haven’t had… Read More

So yesterday, my friend and I took our children to Fairytale Town. This is a little park/playground with fairy tale themed play places–Old Mother Hubbard’s shoe (which is really a slide), Owl’s house (which is really a slide), Old MacDonald’s farm (which is a big barn with chickens, mice, a big tarantula… and a slide),… Read More

(The video worked, but I apologize for the crap resolution. Squishy is the one waving at the camera–you can hear Zoomboy in the background going, “Squishy waved at me!” and Dad saying, “Yeah, now stop waving at her and let her dance!” or something close:-) So while you watch that, I’ll entertain you with the… Read More

First of all, Making Promises will be available at midnight tonight– WOOT! And second of all–this is the part you’ll have trouble believing… I have ACTUALLY been too busy to blog! Squish was performing in the fair (like her brother a couple of years ago and her sister for nearly ten years before her) so… Read More
