Some marshmallows, some nuts, some chocolate… all in all, total wacky goodness, you know? And really, it sounded better than ‘crapdoodles’ or any of the other random names we have for random-bit posts, right? (Although I don’t know… I may pull up ‘crapdoodles’ at a later date. It’s starting to grow on me:-) Let’s see…. Read More

Mate did it– he made it the 1/2 marathon, and I am so proud. I almost didn’t get there to see–I took his word for when he’d get there, and I arrived about ten minutes before his earliest prediction–and he hobbled over the finish line about four minutes after i sat down. Yay Mate! His… Read More

Oh gees… do I have to? Saturdays are so boring! So much of my time is spent mooching around the house and hunting up a nap… Okay–lessee. * Get up, get the short people up, and leave the house late for gymnastics. * Stop at McDonald’s on the way for happy meal toys and ‘Krabby… Read More

* First of all, I DO promise a picture of the new tattoo–I do I do… just not tonight! * Not tonight because Chicken started dance lessons again. It’s cool–she’s with adults, so there is a lot of “look at me, I’m a ballerina” pressure off. She is NOT a ballerina, but it does look… Read More

Heya— Yeah, I know, I promised to post an actual blog yesterday (or was it Friday?) but people were really responsive to the teaser (not just in the comments but at amazon.com and other places too) so I left it as the first post for an extra day–I hope no one minds! (Anyone else coming… Read More


A sharp taste of tomorrow…

I’m going to write a real blog post later tonight, I promise… but this one’s for my peeps on amazon, who asked for a teaser of ‘Rampant’– just to, you know, prove that I ain’t talkin’ out of an ass full of fuzzy bunnies and bullshit. This one deals with sort of a, uhm, ‘sticky… Read More
