So I blog four nights a week, most weeks. I think of it as a professional thing, and I like sharing, and I love telling stories, so it’s not really a hardship. Tonight, as I was sitting down to blog (which is usually the start to the bulk of my work day and the time… Read More

So, I’m not a great bargain hunter. My idea of looking for a deal consists of, “Can this experience be over before I hate the store, my kids, and myself? Yes? Good deal!” But today I looked at the Old Navy bill with some dismay. Oh my God.  We’re broke! “So, if you fill out… Read More

BTW This is an even better blog title when you have Pink’s “Here Comes the Weekend” going thumpa-thumpa in your brain, right? Anyway… It was a weekend. What can I say? Do laundry, do dishes, walk the dogs, take a nap (notice the picture of Mate in front of the TV!), see a movie… I… Read More

Someday the end of August won’t mean schedules . Someday, it won’t mean trips to the store for new shoes. Someday, I won’t have to worry about the right classes,  Or the friends that didn’t call through summer blues. Someday, they’ll buy all their own underwear. Someday, they’ll buy all their own clothes. Someday, I… Read More

Whew! So, yesterday I finished Familiar Demon, which is the next book in the Familiar series. This is Edward and Mullins’s book, and they’re on a scavenger hunt that takes them into very… uh… familiar territory. I’ll post an excerpt later 😉 And pretty much the minute Kermit Flail published, ALL SORTS OF THINGS went down… Read More

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! So, for one thing, summer is coming to an end, and I’m not fond of the heat– but for another, it’s a Kermit Flail day, and while the offering this month is a little small, it is also MIGHTY! First we have a story with the world’s best title. Love it Like You Stole… Read More

So, my friend Berry Jello and I went to a very very tiny comic-con up in Eldorado Hills today, and we had very much fun! Her son dressed– a LOT–and my kids dressed — a little. Her daughter is Faith from Buffy, and her son is Beetlejuice and my kids are just sunshine and light… Read More

Today’s Accomplishments: * Walked the assholes…erm dogs. * Went grocery shopping. * Made beans. *  Am about to make word count. * Answered a shitton of e-mails. * Napped. So gloriously. It was a GLORIOUS nap. Today’s failures: * Need to answer more e-mails. *  Ate chocolate that I shouldn’t have bought at the grocery… Read More

Okay–I stole the title from a tweet I responded to, and I have to admit, it made me unashamedly happy. I vented my grievance (Happy Festivus!) and then laughed at myself. That? I was going to die mad about that? Well, maybe a little. But hopefully not too mad. Because it doesn’t matter what you… Read More

OKay, so some days it’s necessary that nothing exciting happen. I had an edit, I’m behind on a deadline– you get the picture. So today was one of those days when a bunch of nothing added up to a pretty decent day–I’ll give you the highlights and we’ll call it a night. *  Was debating… Read More
