Kevin just explained to me how much a babysitter costs. When I’d picked myself up off the ground and staved off the encroaching coronary–the last time I had occasion to consider this, it was the Eighties, and I was the one being sat, and there has been some significant inflation in that time–he said “That’s […]
Monthly Archives: December 2010
Did this one before my back went out, and have been unable to scan it until today. (I’m still in some pain and should probably go lay down soon, but with the aid of a heat pad, have managed to sit at my desk for a full Digger and some noodling around on Dragonbreath. Kevin […]
So Thursday was exciting. I had run any number of errands, gotten the paint to paint the stoffice, arranged for the contractors to do the floor (goodbye, money, I hardly knew ye) made extensive plans to carry the stoffice on to the next stage, most of which involved Kevin and I moving heavy objects and […]
Okay, fine, since you ASKED. My little toes have a weird…for lack of a better phrase, a keel on the underside. Both sides come down and join at about a 45-degree angle at the bottom, like a tiny little boat with a toenail. Deeply confused by this, the skin on this weird little point grows…out. […]
I was very sad to learn yesterday that a writer I greatly admire, Eva Ibbotson, had passed away in October.

Of course you […]

Kevin’s house is a three bedroom with a FROG–finished room over garage–and it is in the large FROG that the kids have been living, lo this past decade. However, times they are a-changin’, and puberty waits […]
Seriously. I tried on two things today in very upscale boutique clothing stores, on a whim, and both had the same problem. They were both fairly long—one was a sweater-skirt thing and one just a fairly long shirt. Both of them were a relatively lightweight fabric. Both of them were cut very nicely…and then they […]
Welp, looks like we’re here at December 1st, so time to cast an eye back on what I got done for Nanofimo this year. …not as much as I wanted to, really, but stuff definitely DID get worked on, so it’s all good. Out of three projects I wanted to get to the next stage, […]
Too many people asked for me to feel good writing all those “Sorry, it sold,” e-mails, so to e-bay it goes! (Been awhile!) Phoebe Auction
