From Gladiator to Idiot Dogs

on December 19, 2017

Geoffie got groomed today. It’s adorable. She got a free toy with the grooming, and while I’ve mostly given up on toys, I thought I’d give this one a spin. I wanted to see if the dogs could actually fetch. I was on the phone to Mate at the time–and after fifteen minutes of playing… Read More


Family Dinner

on December 19, 2017

So after my grandmother passed, my bio-mom’s side of the family has sort of… lost touch. It’s nobody’s fault really– grandma was our focus, and she was a woman of large personality and formidable will. Someone had to take charge, but she raised a  bunch of independent wandering souls– it’s been a conundrum. Anyway, my… Read More


Twas the week before Christmas…

on December 18, 2017

So seriously, if I was going to write the list of things yet to do I’d still be here at Christmas, writing.  So just little short takes tonight– some stuff that may be of interest to you… *  Re: The newsletter. It’s a learning curve. Everybody who’s entered their name for the newsletter by Dec…. Read More


Pun-day and Fun-day!

on December 14, 2017

So, we finally decorated the tree today–we were going to do it last night, but it turns out the Christmas lights were almost thirty years old and decided they weren’t doing one more frickin’ tree. After the kids’ dental appointment, we went to Target–which was almost shopped out–and Squishy and I decided on the white… Read More


A brief recipe…

on December 12, 2017

So, tonight was our night to go get the Christmas tree–it’s currently hydrating in the appropriate corner, but not yet decorated. I thought I’d share our goofy little tree adventure–and my recipe for Instapot Chicken Bake, which I started before I left and was done when we got back. So… A. The Christmas Tree lot… Read More


A Dead Sprint…

on December 11, 2017

Okay– so I am planning a Pierce and Hal ficlet sometime this week– stay tuned for it, I’ll hit up all the media outlets as soon as it’s up. Anyway– Ambrosia has been coming over to work on my newsletter, and her visits aren’t complete without her entourage. That’s her boyfriend, Idris, and their adorable… Read More


Snark and Circumstance

on December 7, 2017

Just a few random thoughts… *  For the last few weeks as I’ve been getting dressed, Geoffie as watched me put my bra on, then stood on her hind legs and made little digging motions with her forepaws against my stomach. It’s very playful, very adorable, and very much a pain in the ass. And… Read More


The Blog Tour of Christmas Past

on December 6, 2017

So, Regret Me Not was released Monday, and as I’ve been doing, I sort of put my all into the blog tour. This one was particularly fun, because I pulled out some memories that I possibly haven’t blogged about–talked about some stuff–some happy, some sad–that you might not have heard of before. I’ll post as… Read More


Regret Me Not

on December 2, 2017

So, I’m putting this up on Kermit Flail on Monday, but I wanted to remind you all that Regret Me Not will be out on Monday too! Pierce Atwater used to think he was a knight in shining armor, but then his life fell to crap. Now he has no job, no wife, no life—and… Read More
