(and thank you so much for insisting…) Okay, here’s the deal. I talked a lot about ‘Goddess Stories’ in the first book–and not at all in the second. I did this on purpose. I wanted to prep everybody for ‘Triane’s Son’ and ‘Oueant’s Son’ to be in their own Goddess story, so to speak. And… Read More

* First of all, I”m overdue for a me-me from Knit-tech–I haven’t forgotten you, darling, I’m just distracted. I’ll get there:-) * Second, I finally managed to post my package to my blogoversary winner–here’s hoping she’s not disappointed. She got signed books and yarn (the yarn was, fortunately, not signed;-) and some goodies for the… Read More

Well, Fungus, god of podiatry has been partially appeased by two days of keeping my foot iced–I can walk again, and, in fact, went for a walk today, which felt wonderful. (Until I got back, that is, but we shall not speak of that.) Of course, I got home soaked in sweat! Our temperature has… Read More

First of all, for some vaguely depressing news that I sort of anticipated: The book signing has been canceled because my books are self published and the company can’t return them. Like I said, I sort of suspected this might happen, but I REALLY wanted to believe that the little guy (or the XX-sized independently… Read More

Okay–I seriously violated the 4F’s of foot care–I’m Fat, over Forty, Flat-Footed, and on Mother’s day, I wore Flip-Flops. In doing so, I must have seriously pissed off Fungus, the minor god of Podiatry, because I am in some serious, mojo-busting pain. It has improved a little since yesterday–I’ll give it that. Yesterday, after sitting… Read More

I had a good one–I got to sleep in… (the ginormous Jedi-knight battle going on in the living room didn’t count. I wasn’t called upon to officiate, so it really was considered ‘sleeping in’. Besides, those were happy screams, and I can sleep through those.) I got presents. (Supernatural, Season 1. Jensen…mmmm….) We saw a… Read More

I could only let yesterday’s self-indulgent angst-fest stay up for one day–sorry about that–I try to only do that every so often, and, it being Friday, I’m gonna blame it on my students. Sometimes self-involved whining just spreads–I’ll try to take my immunity boosters of cynicism and self-awareness on a regular basis to try to… Read More

Okay–usually my inner world is more exciting than this. Usually, my brain is sort of pinging from moment to moment and place to place–music, television, movies, books–you name it, I’m thinking about it and, hoocha hoocha hoocha–lobster! (For those of you who don’t follow Eddie Izzard, I just mangled a truly great bit there. Really…. Read More

I know some of you all can do the random number generator (ahem, Julie!) but I went low tech, printed out your comments, ripped them into separate slips with your names on them, folded them into little pieces, and had the Cave Troll fish one out of a shoe box. The Cave Troll was thrilled–he… Read More

WHOOOOSH… Wow. I”m so blown away by how many comments I got–I mean, I know some of you get 20+ every day, but, GEES… for me that’s big mojo! (Of course the free stuff had a lot to do with it!) Anyway, the reason I’m a baaaaaad blogger is that I didn’t put a closing… Read More
