I started building this week’s Friday Fast Five on Sunday, adding to it here and there throughout the week, so the post itself won’t seem quite so “fast,” but the act of me putting it up today is very fast indeed, I assure you 🙂 1. Having been a Smart Bitch test driver for a…
Mentioned all too recently, I am a list addict; and now Ms Aimee of Artsyille is enabling my list addiction with an all new blog feature: List It Tuesday. Go visit Artsyville and check out the list of listers, read mine, add yours, then make a list of your favorites. My first List It Tuesday…
I have often heard writers refer to their novels as their “babies.” It’s a metaphor that may seem to skate the line of hyperbole, yet is one I recently came to appreciate. Completing a manuscript is labor intensive, but it is a labor of love. (And yes, I intentionally used the word labor…twice…my apologies). Like…
Or at least if I had it together better. Or would that be better together? Peanut butter and chocolate. That’s better together. Anyways. I have a to-do list a gazillion miles long, but the real problem is, I have a gazillion to-do lists. One for chores around the house. One for stuff to fix around…
Book Binge, a fun review site – is having their annual month long Back-To-School book giveaway. Each day they offer up a selection of novels as a prize – all you have to do is leave a comment to enter. Each day’s prize comes with a different conversational question…today’s was: Were you part of a…

Putting aside all the major stuff like anything happening to my family, cancer, car accidents, tornadoes, and what not…my biggest fear in all the world is…are you ready? Wearing a swim suit. In public. I haven’t done it in nearly 10 years…2002 was probably the last time that much of my skin was exposed at…
Eh? Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought when the husband and I were doing a blind search of possible lakefront vacation spots in the mid-west… Check out this beauty: Wow. What luxury!(Turns out this baby isn’t on Lake Michigan, but the Mississippi river instead.) For a little background info, Wildwood is that lake neighborhood…
It’s the weekend, so give me abreak. I know I said, “everyday in May…” but y’know, the weekend might have to count as one day. Things…they get busy around here. And my life is full of conundrums…like how Miss A can brush her teeth at the speed of light, yet manages to get toothpaste EVERYWHERE…
If you were getting tired of all the St. Patty’s green, you’ll be happy to see I finally put up a new header for Spring (I know you’re not supposed to capitalize seasons, but I feel they deserve the respect). I look forward to many more gorgeous days out at the Botanic Gardens like the…
