So, I'm all ready to blog again on a regular basis and the Internet universe conspires against me. My Internet access from home isn't working. My access at work is...
No, I didn't die, get kidnapped, or run off with some handsome stranger to get married in Belize. (If only!) One of the complications of having a day job is that those projects...
He's probably busy doing college study stuff, I hope, and has no time to read this blog, but that won't stop me from yelling into cyberspace, "Happy Birthday, AJ!" The older of...
I had a fabulous weekend. NYT Bestselling author F. Paul Wilson spoke to the Florida Romance Writers and presented an interactive workshop. I'm a big Wilson fangirl...
A couple of days after the elections and the collective focus of the world as we know it has shifted. Finally, after months and months of sensory onslaught, our evening...
Double congratulations to Paxa. She not only took care of herself by already having her annual mammogram, but she wins the sequinned pin. Way to go, Pax!
You'll never know to what heights you can climb if you don't visit the mountain. That's the epiphany that came to me earlier this week. On Wednesday to be exact. ...
Ok, I don't intend for this to be a pro-Obama rally-the-vote blog post. I try to keep this blog politics-free and don't suggest, or urge any of you to vote the way that...
Since Wednesday last, I've been glued to my chair watching every inning of the World Series. From the degree of my involvement and attention, you'd think the Phillies'...
For the rest of October, this blog will remain pink. I should have done this two weeks ago, but I was inspired this morning by The Miami Herald. To mark the annual...
Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies, National League Champions! It's been 15 years since I could call them the pennant winners. 15 years of hoping, losing...
I apologize for the week-long gap in blog posts! Crazy busy week at work, capped off by a 24 hour trip to and from New York. Talk about weird flight experiences. I...
For this year's major house project, I chose to remodel the center hall/guest bathroom. With the exception of a new toilet seat (oddly embroidered with ducks) and a...
Hey, I've gone the whole season and not filled this blog with frequent baseball reports. Those of you who have no interest in baseball, might want to switch blogs....
Before anybody gets upset that I'm picking on a sacred cow or, in this case, Mouse, let me assure you that I usually love all things Disney. I thought long and hard about...
A chubby little girl bounces on a diving board, holds her nose and jumps into the salt water pool. Her brother waves from an inflatable raft. The pair flank an older man,...
Dear Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama, The television advertisements your campaigns are running are progressively getting worse. If you were slinging actual mud, I would no...
It's a great day to be a Philadelphia fan. As of tonight, the Phillies enter the last week of baseball's regular season leading the NL east by a game and a half. The...
I lost almost three hours of time at work. Time that I needed to be productive, make progress on current projects, and come closer to reaching some deadlines. How...
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin' -- Jimmy Webb I keep looking at the progress of Hurricane Ike and listening to reports from Galveston -- and...
Hurricane Ike is over, for the Florida Keys at least. My heart aches for everyone in the Turks and Caicos, Haiti, Cuba and everywhere else that suffered Ike's...
If you've ever wondered how writers create and develop characters for our books, we're showing it all this week over at the Babes in Bookland blog. Rhonda Pollero started...
