Wow. It’s funny– we keep saying, “We’re just going to go down there and relax,” but, uh, we seem to be doing an awful lot. Monday was a little scary– ZoomBoy had a fever and as nice as the time share is, I was thinking, “Okay, gonna spend a whole lot of time here.” But… Read More

Okay– so social media a little thin on the ground in recent days. Let me give you a rundown. We left for San Diego yesterday around eleven o’clock. Friday, I got the kids home and cleaned the house a little. Saturday Squish had soccer and then we cleaned the house did laundry and Squish napped… Read More

So, I made this sort of handy thing– a pouch for my wallet and phone while I’m walking which has the earbuds stitched into it so I can stop losing them and they don’t get tangled. Trust me, this is all a big deal for me, because I’m a dork. Squish wants one. Now, you… Read More

A short post tonight–I spent some awesome time chatting with a friend over Skype so awe could crochet– believe it or not this was a big deal for me! Anyway– ZoomBoy. Today Chicken and I went to Target today to buy chocolate. Almost completely chocolate–for kids. For fun. And Easter. Because I won’t have time… Read More

So, Mate and I stayed up late tonight to watch the last two… who am I kidding. The last four episodes of Hanna.  We loved it, you should see it, but then I loved the original with Billy Crudup (I think) as Erik Heller as well, and, well, Joel Kinnamen, be still my heart.  Also,… Read More

I have to admit–I’m mom-the-suck at birthday parties. For Chicken, once, we invited half her class ice skating and only got family. For Big T, we had all of family and friends here to break a piñata, and it turned out the piñata was his friend and seeing it broken sort of ripped his little… Read More

So, I am frequently in awe of the universe giving to you exactly what you need whether you ask for it or not. I do a lot of long-term planning–and believe it or not, for all my SQUIRREL! tendencies, it was a thing I was pretty good at even in my teaching days–as long as… Read More

Squish was maybe two months old when I started blogging. I changed blog names when she was a year, but I remember that I wasn’t working and I was writing and I had nobody to tell about my day. I was FUNNY, dammit. I had OBSERVATIONS. And I needed to blog. And blogging became all… Read More

*pant pant pant* So this is it. It was supposed to be a “ficlet” but in reality, it’s about 15K–so a full out novella. Now honestly, I don’t think this is publishable because too much relies on things from other books, so it’s still going on the back of Fish on a Bicycle. But one… Read More

So, yeah– this is still going on–but we’re drawing to a close and that’s exciting! Anyway– in honor of MoonFish, and me being way behind, we’re postponing Kermit Flail until May–so don’t forget to send in your stuff if you have a book to pimp! (If I get a ton of stuff for April in… Read More
