That darn dog…mac and cheese…and Martha
Bernicie got me up at 3:00 this morning--granted, I usually rise at 4:00 anyhow--so I figured I might as well roll out, especially since she was standing on my chest. 🙂 The cats do that, by turns, but for the Yorkster, it's a new trick. She wanted to go...
Monkey Mind and Other Stuff
Monkey mind, of course, is a term meditators (and others) use to describe the way one's thoughts tend to leap, screeching, from limb to limb and tree to tree whenever one is attempting to concentrate on the subject at hand. As an ADDer, I have first-hand knowledge of...
Perchance to Dream
I often wonder what my dreams mean--not that I usually remember them at all. When I do, I figure it must mean something. I've often puzzled over a dream I used to have about Sadie, my late and very beloved beagle--she was driving away in a beige Ford Fairlane,...
Last night I dreamed….
But not of Manderley. I dreamed I was moving to Florida with my ex-husband--and we'd be crossing the country on his motorcyle, no less. He wanted me to leave my dog and cats behind--and to be fair, Rick is a mellow guy these days, and an animal lover to boot. (We've...
I’m rollin’!
The new book is off to a great start, if I do say so myself. 🙂 My goal is two chapters per week, taking Wednesdays off for acupuncture, errands, etc., and so far, I'm on target. There have been some changes already--the series is now called THE BRIDES OF BLISS...
All better!
Sheesh--that cold was a lulu! Much better now, though I still have a slight cough. Since Jen is away on vacation, I'll be selecting two winners at random from the comments and notifying them, then posting the names. I'm sorry I've had this so goofed up. I spent last...
Sick Day
Well, the acupuncture treatment was tres relaxing, as usual, but I think it unlocked the head/chest cold I've been fighting off for a couple of weeks. I'm taking it easy today; hopefully, I will be back tomorrow.
It’s acupuncture day
I've set aside Wednesdays for acupuncture, other appointments, errands, etc., so no writing to speak of today. I'm completely confused about that last contest. 🙂 Jen was busy yesterday, but I'll ask her to check it out. Thanks for your patience. I've been making...
Characters
Well, I spent yesterday and part of this morning working on the outline for the first book in the new series, tentatively titled, "The Brides of Petticoat County." Book 1, also tentatively titled (I'm waiting for the go-ahead from the powers that be), is called, "The...
The Great Quilt Adventure and other stories…
I had a fantastic weekend in Oregon, with sister, Sally, and her family. Soon as I got off the airplane, we headed for Ikea--I've never been to one before--and met niece Sam for some browsing and a great Mexican meal later on. On Friday, as I predicted, we shopped...
Can you hear me now?
My internet service was an on-again-off-again affair for TWO DAYs, which is why I'm late. That is, for once, it isn't ENTIRELY my fault. 🙂 (Okay, SOME of it was my fault--I tend to slack off a bit when I've just finished a book.) I had my second acupuncture...
Monday Morning Mayhem
Well, it's crazy around here today, that's for sure. As I write this, a new wood floor is being installed in an upstairs room--lots of pounding and sawing--and a big tree in the back yard is being cut down. Both are GOOD things, of course, but pretty darn...
