Why replace it with more paper when it makes such a wonderful landing pad?

While I was putting all those family photo albums back on shelves, I came across my own baby photos.  I can’t have been more than two…  Although my mother reports that my two boys are WAY more active (a nice way to say “They’re nuts. I’m glad I had girls.”), it does look like I […]

As of this past Sunday, I have been married twelve years! *Gasp*
Didn’t I just finish college a few years ago?
Wait, no, there’s also those advanced degrees I hold….
And somehow a lot of my free time seems to have been devoted to a four-year-old and a seven-year-old who starts second grade this fall! Time is […]

I’m still here. But my writing, including this blog, has slowed WAY down.

I was in the middle of moving.
But now the boxes are unpacked, curtains are up, and most of the pictures are hung (don’t ask about the cellar, we’re pretending its not there). Its time to start writing again.
I bravely sent out […]

We’ve spent the better part of the last two weeks preparing to move, hanging in a hotel, and then at last, moving into our new home.

That means we’ve eaten out quite a bit. My four-year-old (self named DahDoo) has always had an interesting take on words and phrases….

A big shout out to Blue Host!!!
I’ve spent the last two days puzzling out why this site and another site required all of you to hit that refresh button so often. It was really annoying, so I’ll name names. Turns out it was our hosting site, HostGator and the even slower site was being hosted […]

Can you remember that first book that turned you on to reading? The one that made you defy your parent’s call “lights out” with a flashlight under the covers?
For me, it was a box set of six mystery books by Wylly Folk St. John including The Secrets of Hidden Creek. I can still […]

I thought I was interviewing another writing, blogging Wiffer, but it turns out Robin is not yet an active member on the boards. How’d we ‘meet’? We’re not exactly sure, but it was either through Pam or Caryn. Come on over to the Will Write for Wine boards, Robin.
1) Where were […]

Mama Moose made the challenge, so here is my list:

I have curly hair.
And I look bad in hats (Hi Kim!)
I wear glasses, occasionally contacts (they don’t agree with me).
I have a black Labrador retriever.
The dog will eat anything.
She once ate an entire gingerbread house (she’s okay).
I wasn’t sure what I was going tell the vet.
I […]
