A Break To Refill The Well

Just back from a long weekend spent with my husband’s family in Canada.

Halloween Is Upon Us

Thing1 clowning around with Jack Skellington last year.

Yes, goblins and vamps, Halloween is here again. Since it’s my favorite time of the year, what better way to celebrate than with a party?

Creative VMA Winners from the 80s

Ah, yes, the MTV Video Music Awards – scandelizing the public since 1984. Can you believe it’s been 29 years? Can’t wait to see what they cook up for next years’ 30th birthday.

Anyway, back to the reason for the award show in the first place – the videos!

Owning Only One Family TV

I am an unapologetic lover of pop culture and so this isn’t an anti-TV tirade. I stumbled on this only because we couldn’t afford multiple TVs with cable when our kids were little.

Life is weird.

Red & Red2: Age Doesn’t Mean Squat

When I grow old, I want to be as kick ass as the characters in the Red movies.

Writing in the Midst of Life

This has been a week full of distractions to my writing, but also a week filled with life. And yet, somehow in the midst, I managed to get a nice chunk of revision done.

Creativity Resources – IWSG

The last two months I was seriously in need of help and support. The Insecure Writer’s Support Group made me feel welcome, calmed me down, and pointed me in a new direction.

2012 Yard Haunt

We skipped the party this year but we did the yard haunt.

I just wish the weather would cooperate. It was cold and snowed – yes, SNOWED – though, happily, it didn’t stick.

No Longer a Con Virgin

Yes, I finally attended my first convention. Hubby and I went to ConCarolinas in Charlotte, NC, and I returned tired, inspired, and ready to dive back into revisions.

More From My Garden

Wanna know something funny?

I am a gardener.

I have allergies.

So, I plant all kinds of beautiful flowers and then have to medicate myself all summer long.

Anybody have a tissue? I feel a sneeze coming on…
