VISION
It has been SNOWING for the past hour or so. The flakes have stopped coming down, but the draw I overlook as I write this is dusted with white.Did you watch the HBO mini-series, "John Adams"? I did, and I loved it. Oh, for more material of this quality on television!...
April 18
This is my future son-in-law Jeremy's birthday. Happiest of happies, sweetheart.It is also the anniversary, as legend has it anyway, of Paul Revere's famous ride. "The British are coming! The British are coming!"I think somebody ought to warn Britain, this time. My...
More Ramblings
Another sunny day! It's a GIFT. Believe me, over this long winter, I have developed a new appreciation for sunshine. :)What a wonderful writing day I had yesterday. Although it is emotionally rugged sometimes, going through everything my characters go through, right...
Ramblings
Today, the draw is bathed in sunlight, and the needles of the big pines are glimmering with traces of gold. I'm seeing more deer, and more birds. Perhaps the moose will stop by one day soon. When I was very young, there wasn't a moose this side of the Canadian...
Princes vs Cowboys
I always fall in love with my heroes--Sam O'Ballivan will forever have a very special place in my heart. But I've got to admit, I'm head over heels for Dylan Creed. Logan, his brother, the hero of book one in the Montana Creed/McKettrick Kin series, is WAY hot. But...
This Year…
Spring fell on a weekend! 🙂 It was glorious here in Spokane over Saturday and Sunday--sun shining, sky blue, spirit-lifting weather, all around.Now, it's raining. Not that I'm complaining, mind you--April showers really DO bring May flowers. It's just that the hope...
Weight Watchers Report
I lost 1.8 pounds this week, for a total so far of 13.6!!!YES!!In terms of getting up in the morning, it seems to be one extreme, or the other. I arose at about 9 a.m. yesterday (yes, NINE, and my grandfather is surely rolling over in his grave!), and 3:30 am today....
Discombooberated
That's a Hazelism, as in, invented by my mother, Hazel. :)And it completely describes moi!I thought my dental appointment was yesterday. It's today.Yikes!I promise to be back on track with this blog tomorrow. I have Weight Watchers tonight, so I'll have a report for...
Dentist Day
Yikes. I hate it when I have to go to the dentist, even though Doc is a very nice guy. I would much rather: write, collage, play with the dogs, or transfer images onto polymer clay. (I get such a kick when I pull back that t-shirt transfer paper and see that it...
Feelings
Relax. I'm not going to cyber-sing that worn out old song. 🙂 In fact, if I hear it one more time, I'll scream.Maybe it's dealing with my yo-yo weight syndrome, but I've been thinking a lot about feelings lately, and all the things I do (usually destructive) in a vain...
Irene’s Visit
On Friday morning, we drove out to the lake house. As there are a variety of stresses in my life right now, it was restorative for me--even though it SNOWED. In April, yet! On the way, we stopped off at Spokane Art Supply, where I bought some really cool stuff for...
Doing GREAT!
I was down 5.2 pounds last night at WW!!!!Let's hear it for me, girls!Irene arrived, and we're having a great time. We're heading out to the lake in an hour or so, to stare at the water and plan very big things for the future. (She's my agent as well as one of my...
