The Older I Get…
The more ways I am like my parents.Fortunately, since I was derned lucky in the parent department, this is mostly good.My sense of humor and love of books and the written word in general come from my mother. (So, alas, does my tendency to have little piles of paper...
Headed Back to the Ranch
It will be good to get home and doubly good to see the dogs and cats. I've missed my four-legged housemates something fierce. (Missed the horses, too, of course, but it will be dark when I arrive, so the equine reunion will have to wait until morning.)I do love San...
Cowgirl on the Loose!
Last night was the big Harlequin party, and it was very glam, as always. I'm proud to say I received my 25-book pin, which I will treasure. (I've written a LOT more than 25 books, as most of you know, but these were for Harlequin specifically.)Jen and I visited Pier...
Cowgirl STILL in the Big City
The Single-Title party was held at George Bierce, a cool grill/bar kind of place with a view of the Golden Gate. I had a great time, hanging out with old friends and making new ones!Today Jenni and I are going sightseeing. I'll be back in plenty of time to gussy up...
Cowgirl in the Big City
I'm having the best time. Yesterday's lunch was at a restaurant called Boulevard, with a view of the Golden Gate and lovely, light, beautifully presented food. How could I have forgotten to mention that there was a third favorite person present, Diane Moggy. Diane is...
The City by the Bay
I can see why Tony Bennett would leave his heart in San Francisco. It's a lovely place.Except for a delayed bag, the travel angels answered my prayers for a hassle-free day. I had a dinner scheduled for last night, with my publicist, Nancy Berland, and her gang. We...
Oh, What a Day I’ve Had!
First thing this morning, I get an unnerving phone call--on my unlisted number.Then I find out someone has been shopping at Walmart and Home Depot--in Florida, no less--using my credit card info.One of the fire alarms went off this afternoon and terrified my poor...
Another Trip
Tomorrow morning, early, I will be squired to the airport for a trip to San Francisco. I'm unofficially attending RWA (Romance Writers of America). I say 'unofficially', because I'm not actually registered for the conference. This year, I'm just meeting with certain...
What I Did This Summer
Well, okay, today.I had the best of intentions, but the fact is, I ended up puttering in my studio all day. I never even got out of my pajamas!Now, I've taken some good-natured ribbing for calling my little heaven-on-earth a 'studio' instead of a craft room. Here's...
Unfinished Furniture/Unfinished Me
My first projects have arrived--a dresser, a chest for stashing Christmas and birthday gifts I buy throughout the year, and a dear little cabinet. I'm not exactly sure what the latter will hold, but I couldn't resist it.The anti-clutter campaign continues. I'm trying...
End of the Feng Shui Nightmare
Or, at least, the beginning of the end!Now that the downstairs space is clear, I was able to move my ATC/collage gear (aka "mess") off the kitchen table! Whoopee! Now I can eat, journal and read my Tarot cards again!I am SO sensitive to energy, and with all the...
On the Mend
I'm feeling better, so now I can stop boring all of you with symptoms!Very exciting things are happening. There is going to be a short video of the Creed brothers available soon--you'll be able to click a link and see those three delicious cowboys for yourself. (Be...
