First of all, Kermit Flail will be on Tuesday– repeat KERMIT FLAIL WILL BE ON TUESDAY! Yeah, I decided to take Labor Day off– sue me! So, for those of you who didn’t see it on Twitter or FB, this is ZoomBoy in his sweater. (You may recognize this sweater as the thing the dog… Read More

Okay, so Guest Dog Gibbs likes to sleep on me while I knit. I knew that. But I kept waking up in the morning and finding the sweater I’m crocheting for ZoomBoy on the ground. “What in the fuck? Why? I don’t understand!” So, tonight, I got up to go get some water and the… Read More

So, I’ve been to a few Back to School nights. I’ve even been to a few at this particular junior high. Let’s just say, the thrill is gone. It’s not even that I don’t want to be there–it’s just that the back to school night, with the, “This is our routine, these are our standards,… Read More

So yes! Release day for A Few Good Fish. Can I just say I love writing this series? I love writing Jackson and Ellery throughout several books. I love that I have many more adventures planned for them. I love that even though my audience started out going, “Well… romantic suspense… I’m just not sure…”… Read More

So, spent the weekend… well busy. It’s funny how my family–which should have been getting more and more self-sufficient and less mom dependent in the past few years, has, in fact, become the opposite. They’ve become very “ishy” about me working over the weekends. Friday I was getting all totally ready to nap before I… Read More

First of all, Geoffie is doing okay. We’ll see after her walk tomorrow if she needs to go back for more fluids, and mostly? I think we just wait to see if she starts throwing up like a hurricane or if she’s going to pass the big chunk of rib bone in her stomach. I… Read More

Okay– so fingers crossed, everyone. She’s doing better. Geoffie threw up last night–a lot.  (And there wasn’t that much time to throw up, either. I went to bed at two a.m. and all the puke was found at seven.) Anyway, took her to vets this morning, and she was cold and shaking and dehydrated, and… Read More

*  First of all– thank you all so much for the kind words about Gordie. The weekend was pretty sad without him. *  Next of all, I may or may not have jury duty tomorrow. I find out at 11:15 and I’m in a quandary. On the one hand, ugh. It’s half an hour away,… Read More

 So, the kids went back to school today, and I was super excited. I was going to meet my friend, Karen, today because she was dropping her husband off at the airport, and Mate was going to pick the kids up. It was like a special day, just for me. I was going to talk… Read More

Okay, so most of you have figured I’m a T-shirt whore. I will buy almost any T-shirt, especially if it supports a cause, and double especially if they have one in one larger than my size, which is a B for Behemoth. Anyway, this shirt SEEMED perfect. Gray, cotton/poly, lightweight, it said, “Families Belong Together”… Read More
