Winners, songs I sing to my dog, my kind of prepping
First, the winners of last week's contest are: Brenda I. and Valdi McCoy. Congratulations, both of you! (If you didn't win, no worries. A new round starts today, and all you need to do to enter is comment.) Second, yes, I confess, I sing to my Yorkie, Bernice,...
Long time no blog OR: And you thought I was dead
I'm alive and well, and down 3.6 pounds as of last Wednesday's Weight Watchers meeting. I'm not sure why I haven't blogged this week--it just seemed that something popped up every time I wanted to start. 🙂 I'm writing, of course, and deep into the study of THE...
The Big Reveal 🙂
First, however, I'll announce last week's winners, each of whom will receive an autographed copy of THE MARRIAGE PACT. They are: Alice Johnson and Violette Ruffley. Congratuations, ladies! As for the rest of you, hang in there. The new round begins today, and all...
WOW!!!
A huge THANK YOU to Linda Lattin for the GORGEOUS mustang figurine!! He's prominently displayed on my office book shelf, where I can look at him often--you really shouldn't have, but I'm sure glad you did. 🙂 (Please send your snail mail address to [email protected]...
Fridge-Magnet Wisdom and assorted ramblings
I've been thinking about refrigerator magnets lately. (Don't ask why, because I have no idea.) Still, one can tell a great deal about a person, I think, by studying the various items affixed to their refrigerator door. The most obvious example: children's art,...
Home again, home again, jiggety jog
Well, my friends, the trip to Boonsboro, Maryland, and the fabled Turn the Page Book Store, was just plain magical. Jenni and I flew out of Spokane early (very early) on Friday morning, stopping briefly in Salt Lake City before jetting on to a landing at...
Part 2 or until the glitch, whichever comes first
Moving on from yesterday's blog: What I'm reading, in actual print: A wonderful new memoir called WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, by Domenica Ruta. Reviewers have compared this book to one of my absolute, all-time favorites, THE GLASS CASTLE, by Jeanette Walls, and while I...
Whoopee, it’s Monday! (No, I’m not kidding.)
I love me a Monday. A whole lovely week ahead, like a blank sheet of paper, or a fresh canvas, or a book I know I'm going to love but haven't started yet...or.... Well, you get the idea. I do enjoy a beginning. 🙂 (As long as it's the beginning of something good,...
It’s Friday again? You’re kidding me….
Where do the days go??? Five minutes ago, it was Monday! I had the BEST writing day yesterday--really made some progress. I plan to write today and take the weekend off to do crafts, watch videos on Joggles.com, among other sites, and listen to at least one...
Today’s news from the Triple L (so far)
I got up early today, in order to have plenty of time for my spiritual practice and still get in some hefty chunks of writing time. I lit candles--I love the mood candlelight creates, especially when it's dark out--a sort of cozy reverence that settles my ADD-riddled...
Surprise! Blogging early for once 🙂
After scanning your comments, here are my replies: 1) Mea culpa! The name of Nora's store IS "Turn the Page", and Boonsboro (misspelled?) is in the great state of Maryland. I will be flying into Baltimore. 2) In my humble and not particularly original opinion,...
Busy Monday
First, I'll announce last week's contest winners: Jana Vincent and Patti Belew. Congratulations, ladies--your autographed books will be on their way tomorrow. As always, a new contest begins today, so be sure to comment. Maybe next Monday, I will be announcing your...
