Squish and Zoomboy had to run stuff out to the garbage. They came running back in, screaming, “Oh my God! It’s horrible! I’m so scared!” Real tears– faces scrunched up, hysterical– inconsolable. Mate and I remained skeptical. “What was it again?” we asked. “It was a SLUG,” Zoomboy cried. “THIS BIG.” He held his hands… Read More

So, the interwebs went down. It was awful. I had to stop my junkie computer tap from one site to another. *shudder*  Like it was a bad dream. Anyway–it’s back up, and I am blogging again. Sadly, I’m mostly doing the old middle-aged woman thing tonight and whining–so, you know, maybe loiter a bit until… Read More

Short post tonight… So, went to a party for some friends of Mate’s from soccer. They were LOVELY people–and talk about creative with the home and yard stuff– everything they did was like Pinterest but better. I was impressed. (People who get creative with home decor always impress me. I’m just glad home is still… Read More

So,  I went to Squish’s volunteer tea today–which was lovely. It’s an event thrown by the PTA and the teachers to say thanks for volunteering, and I felt like such a fraud–I’m only there a couple of times a year but Squish’s teacher is so kind– she asked, and I showed. Well, I parked myself… Read More

Me: Fuuuuuuuck… Mate: I’ve got a really important meeting at nine. I’ll come get Squish for school afterwards. Me: Squish, bad news–… Read More

La Quette, fearless writer of erotic romance and romantic suspense, is here today to talk about the first book in her series, the Queens of Kings: The Heart of the Matter.

*  I spent part of the day in the dentist office, because that whole “Hey, this is a big part of my filling” moment last night was NOT good. Neither was getting the filling. Neither, I suspect, are the tiny pebbles of amalgam I’ve been spitting out all day. *sigh* Ouch. But the dentist office… Read More

*  I was walking the dogs today when I saw a bona fide Hell’s Angel–wearing the colors, driving a chopper, a German style WWII helmet on his head–roar through our neighborhood. He was shaved bald with a gray beard long enough to blow backwards over his shoulder. About half a block behind him was a… Read More
