I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I’ve blogged! Usually, I try to post at least once– I even have a backlist bump saved for this week (which I will put up in a couple of days, promise!)   But not this time. There are no words to express the size of this venue…. Read More

* So, Friday and Saturday were Avengers Swag Assemble– or mostly my friend Berry Jello and I, putting together gift bags which will pack SO WELL in the back of the minivan. (There is much sarcasm here–can you feel it?) * Also, thank you so much Berry Jello! (No sarcasm in this–I hate dyeing my… Read More

I attended my first convention as a writer about eight and a half years ago. It was SacAnime, and I met all sorts of people there, including Erin Grey (from Buck Rogers) and Will Wheaton, who was exceptionally kind to Big T at the time. We also met the guy who drew and voiced Bugs… Read More

A.  We went to see Squishy’s district choir presentation tonight, and it was lovely. No, angels didn’t weep and the heavens didn’t open, but a bunch of grade-schoolers, middle-schoolers, and high-schoolers got to stand on stage and make joyful noise unto the skies. (Okay, it was in a church, but I’m going to lean on… Read More

So, about seeing your youngest turn ten… “God, Mom– did you buy her enough dolls?” “You don’t… you don’t even understand. She’s ten. Just yesterday she was born. And now my baby is ten. And she asked for Monster High dolls. Do you have any idea how long this is going to last?” “No…” “Me… Read More

 YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! I just had to put that out there first. I made it through St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and Squish’s birthday and only barely dropped a dozen balls in the process.  Y’all, in a week I’m going to be heading for Romantic Times, Las Vegas with my friend Kim Fielding, and I only NOW have… Read More

Chicken plays while I go shoppingfor Squishie at Target. Okay, so April 1st isn’t always my favorite. Because besides Squishie’s due date, I’d never had an April Fools joke I’d been really excited about. My older son loves them, and my husband wishes he was better at them, but, as Kaje Harper said earlier today,… Read More

Ouch! Okay– so I missed my postal deadline, I almost forgot to order Squish’s cake, the house is a mess, little girls are arriving Saturday, and I have a week after that before the car needs to be packed, my hair, face, and nails need to be done, and I’m driving to Vegas. OH fuck…. Read More

So, tonight I’ve got two moments. Moment 1: We pulled into the driveway and, of course, the first sound to greet us was the dogs. They were barking their heads off. “So, Zoomboy,” I said with a  yawn (it was my nap time), “Do you want we should go put them out of their misery?”… Read More

Okay– I am eyeballs deep in an edit, and I almost forgot to blog! So it’s going to be a short one, kay? *  Two weeks ago, before Spring Break I served as Art Docent in my daughter’s classroom again. I was doing trains–Currier & Ives,  Monet, Grandma Moses and a few other artists–and we… Read More
