I hang around the Absolute Write forums on occasion, and there have been odd little Christmas themed graphics going by in one of the ad spaces. Today it was this one, which I loved dearly. I haven’t been able to find an artist, or turn it up in another search–looks vintagey, although the border is […]

I drove home from the coffee shop singing, which is something I only do when no one else is in the car, because even my mother, who loves me and believes I am the most wonderful and talented daughter in the world, doesn’t think I can sing worth a damn. I sang: Thirty thousand words, […]
…and then one day she realized that her life was not wonderful. That she was miserable. That people were being cruel to her, and when she said something, she was told to be grateful that she had friends that cared about her enough to treat her so cruelly for her own good. It probably won’t […]
Sometimes, it just all comes together in D&D. When last we left our intrepid adventurers, they were battling through the Walt’s Wasps* hand-lotion factory, to foil the plot of a demon lord who had decided to enslave the world with evil hand lotion. PALADIN: Seriously? Evil hand lotion? Are you guys sure you don’t want […]
I had a great idea for a quick, pithy blog post. In the time it took me to get here, I have forgotten it utterly. It might have had something to do with gardening—been reading about the jardin de cure or “priest’s garden” which is France’s answer to cottage gardening. Or possibly it was about […]
Got the awesomest quilt hanging EVER from Kevin’s mom, aunt, and cousin—it’s Digger! Will post photos later. At the moment, still a bit squishy ’bout the innards. Something’s been bothering me for a couple of days, and I was mostly fine on Thanksgiving (thankfully!) but it started to get kind of unpleasant later in the […]
I am bad at fashion and also at sewing, so I am turning to the internet brain trust on this one, for a story that is trundling along and has hit a point where I might need some information. Let us say that you are a twelve-year-old girl and you are determined to be an […]
I had not actually intended to freak out and clean the closet this afternoon, but I was idly flipping through house stuff on-line and found a reference to the book Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century which was an anthropological study of how we live (or how Americans in LA live, anyhow, which may […]
I needed two fillings today. Actually I needed one at first, and then the dentist got in there and muttered a bit and said “You’ve got kissing cavities…they’re right in contact and they’ve both decalcified and you’re already Novocained up, so why don’t I just do this now?” I, like most people, lived in stark […]
(at least, if I type fast enough) So yet again, the blog-o-sphere has exploded—twice in a week, no less!—with geeks (male) telling women that they are not nerdy enough or not hot or too hot or…I don’t know, it all blurs together after awhile, honestly. The word “hot” definitely features, and “cosplay.” As usual, it […]
