It’s been awhile since I’ve burned the midnight oil so many nights in a row, probably not since Miss A was a screaming cranky mess of a baby (Lil G has been a good sleeper pretty much since day 1, BLESS her). Trying to squeeze NaNo writing time into my day just isn’t happening, so…
The scene sprint turned out to be quite productive. I logged just over 3k and got out at least one well developed scene and left plenty of ideas in limbo but with a promising start. Some highlights from Thursday’s scene sprint: -my heroine performs the Big Mac rap for a man who reminds her of some…
1 day of writing down and 29 to go…I managed to get 5k of words down, which gave me a nice start, I think. Even on the first day it was a little difficult, once I had jumped the first hurdle: finding some free time away from the husband, Miss A & Lil’ G, I…
A few weeks ago I was at a book club meeting and somehow the term “butt rock” came up…that is to say, at some point I referred to a band as possible butt rock and received blank stares in return. It seems none of my lady book club friends have heard this term. Butt Rock…
I’m cranky, sunburnt, and got my period this morning (for what I SWEAR is the second time this month). But we took some basic run-of-the-mill pics of the girls yesterday…and I just want to say… Amen. And if that was TMI for you… too bad sorry.
I was in the mood for a laugh, so I decided to pay a quick visit to icanhascheezburger. However, nothing on their cover page was really getting the giggles going, so I did some clicking around, and found a link on their site to “look-alikes” basically side by side pictures of any two items that…
Miss A is following in her mama’s footsteps. Around the time I was 6 years old I became completely obsessed with all things Star Wars (having a crush on Luke Skywalker might have been part of it). For some reason, I would have this reoccurring dream that Luke was coming to visit me at my…
I never really thought about it, but looking through my house, I guess we kinda do. Have something against closet doors that is. It started simply enough…I don’t like bi-fold closet doors in the kids’ rooms, because I think it is all too easy to pinch a finger in one of those. So upon moving…
10 years ago: I was getting ready to graduate college. I was student teaching high school – my “preps” were: Speech (Juniors and Seniors), Honors English Literature (Juniors), and a BD class of Soph. year American Literature…quite a variety, I must say. I was performing in my last college theatre production. Originally someone else was…
I admit it, I’m a magazine junkie. Back in the day when my heart went pitter-pat for NKOTB (see #53)I would spend wads of babysitting money on TeenBeat, TuttiFrutti, Bop and other glossy homages to the teen idols I so adored. I would pull out the posters to adorn my walls, cut out special articles…
