Just a quick post here!  I gave the blog a quick makeover, which I like (I wanted the background to be the picture to the left that I’d taken, but all my pictures were too big to upload– I have NO idea how to change that!)  I found a picture on the net, and I… Read More

Or, well, a wedding at my parents’ house. My mom’s best friend (and former sister-in-law) was married in my parents’ backyard on Saturday– and it was lovely.  The couple decorated rustically– and if you think that means they copped out, you weren’t there to see two strong men move the cake, which was balanced on… Read More

Rather important things in my life that have started off as a half-assed, crackbrained, fluff-butter, icing-on-the-crazy-cupcake joke. “So, we’re living together, right?  I mean, we are going to get married, right?” “So, uhm, we’re married now.  We can have kids and nobody will think we’re irresponsible, right?” “No, I’m SERIOUS!  I had this dream that… Read More

First of all I’m a gonna talk about Jeremy Bunny– well, How to Raise an Honest Rabbit, and how much I love this cover!  This was one of TEN options I got, and they were all about the bunny– this particular one had an Aiden looking so very close to the Aiden in my mind,… Read More

Okay– first of all, I looked up “sun spots” to see if I could get a shareable picture for you, and this totally awesome swatch of a Barbara Walker pattern came up, and I HAD to post it.  So, uhm, on to Sunspots! The school grind has started.  It’s a very different school grind than… Read More

Hee hee— okay, so, yeah, Mourning Heaven is out tomorrow, and Dreamspinner has come up with the inspired idea of giving us a sort of multi-pack of .jpg images to help us promote our work.  I’m going with the big Facebook Banner today, and if you’ve been to my FB page (as I haven’t cause I suck!)… Read More

(Seriously– this rant contains a spoiler alert– several of them– for the movie ParaNorman.  If you don’t like spoilers, dodge off.) Okay– someone–MANY someones wrote a bunch of big long indignant blog posts because of the movie ParaNorman.  They seemed to think that because one of the secondary characters announces he’s gay at the end of… Read More

Oh BLARGH! Seriously– GRL is approaching, and someone informed me that it was my job to purchase… whatyacallit? Oh yeah.  SWAG. Anyway–yeah.  First of all, expensive.  I get it, it’s a tax deduction, and a necessary promotional business expense, but I spend the money and I’m thinking, “My GOD we need a new bathroom floor.”… Read More

Opening day for soccer– you all remember that? Oi!  Me too! This year I didn’t get to see Zoomboy play, because all of his games were concurrent with Squish’s.  I Did get to see Squish play, however, and that was a revelation. See, one of my children’s great qualities on any sports field is their… Read More

I was going to be a part of a blog hop today– What Writing LGBTQ literature means to me–but, like so many things when I’m in the writing/editing rabbit hole, I space-monkeyed right out of that obligation. It wasn’t something I could focus on at the moment anyway, but I have been thinking a lot… Read More
