There are some stretches of life that burst at the seams with to-do lists, calendar items, and event after event after event. For me, this is one of those stretches. The next six weeks are bound to be incredibly hectic. I knew this was coming. The timing of several fairly major things was uncertain until […]
Autumn’s Harvest Blog Hop Giveaway Winner!
The Autumn’s Harvest Blog Hop, brought to us by Carrie Ann Ryan through Carrie Ann’s Blog Hops, was a lot of fun!! It ran for four days over the long weekend, and ended yesterday. More than 200 authors participated, and Carrie Ann made it very simple to do so. My post for the blog hop had […]
I Finally Caught On To Supernatural
I’ve caught random episodes of the TV series Supernatural many times over the years. I always found it entertaining, but I didn’t quite get it. I had none of the background for the main characters. I just knew the main characters were hot. 🙂 I noticed recently that the entire series was available on Netflix. […]
Autumn’s Harvest Blog Hop
Autumn is one of my favorite seasons. (I have four.) To me, the scents of the damp earth and its fruits, the furious sounds that fill stormy nights, and a warm kitchen encapsulate fall.After the boisterous activity of summer, my kitchen calls. Finally, there’s no need to worry about heating up the house! I can […]
Mid-Week Update: A Day Late & Hours Short
It is bound to be a busy few days — from now through Sunday. I’m working a half-day tomorrow, and my mom-in-law is coming to play with the children in the morning while I work. Then all of the sibs on that side are coming for dinner Friday night. Saturday we’re throwing a birthday party […]
Sunday Update: Welcome to November
This is the time of year when the calendar goes from “Is nobody celebrating the holidays this year?” to “Good lord, some notice would have been nice!” At least in my family that’s the way it goes. My hubby and I are big on family. We like to make it to as many events as […]
Menomena at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom
My husband’s birthday is Sunday. Tonight I’m taking him to see one of Portland’s infamous experimental rock bands, Menomena, at an even more infamous venue, the Crystal Ballroom. Here’s one song I hope to hear tonight, though it’s been out for years and I have no clue whether it is requested a lot. It’s just […]
Mid-Week Update: I’m Not, I Repeat NOT, Doing NaNo
NaNoWriMos are hearty souls, and somewhat insane. Tomorrow the madness begins for 2012. November is National Novel Writing Month — a month where crazy folks around the globe set a deranged goal of writing a 50,000 word novel in one month! That’s 1,667 words per day for all 30 days of the month. The truly […]
Sunday Update: My Foulweather Twins Series
That’s what I’ve been working on. I had a lot of writing time today, because I had the house to myself until almost three this afternoon. Crazy quiet. 🙂 Finishing and publishing my novel Queen Witch is my primary goal this round of ROW80. I’ve incorporated one beta’s edits, and the comments another gave me […]
Pick Up Lauralynn Elliott’s The Gnome for Halloween!
I’ve told my friend Lauralynn Elliott many times now that she has a knack for giving me the heebie-jeebies. Her descriptions, and the build up as she dangles new details, always leaves me thinking about those details after I’ve finished the book. If you’re looking for a fun read to creep you out as Halloween approaches, […]
