Happy Halloween!

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Some short, evil Damien wanna-be has let it be known to my children that drawing faces on the pumpkins with black Sharpie is not, in fact, all there is to making a Jack O’Lantern. So now I’m up to my elbows in nasty, stringy orange goop.
But it’s Daddy’s turn to trick or treat this […]

The family introvert?

Monday, October 31st, 2005

My sister called me the other day to congratulate me on Twice Upon A Roadtrip’s reviews. Yes, I have discovered that my sister has become a regular reader of my blog.
Hi, Shan’s sister!
No, she doesn’t comment. She calls me. Which is cool, but she can’t use the […]

Feeling the burn

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Yesterday was kind of a sad day for me. We had a beautiful, tall and lush lilac tree at the corner of our house. It has survived an estimated 100 or so New England winters. It did not, however, survive the Stacey family’s need for more driveway space.

You can’t really see much […]

I thought this day would never come

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

I had nearly given up hope, but I have finally won an elusive, much-coveted Smart Bitches title! I’ve been officially dubbed, so from this day forth I shall be:

So let my teenage adoration of Danielle Steel be known from sea to shining sea, as I correctly guessed the heroine was Zoya Ossipov […]

I just finished making up a nifty Excel spreadsheet listing projects in the works and other related things I’d like to accomplish by the end of the year.
It ran over onto a second page and made me hyperventilate.
My goals for November and December can now be summed up thusly:
Stop making Excel spreadsheets and write.
I thought […]

Skip to the loo

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

When I write, I sometimes hit that amazing place called The Zone. The words flow, the fingers fly, and woe to the child who needs lunch. If something that needs to be on the page doesn’t flow, a xx gets dropped there and I move on. It’s easy to search for later […]

Detour ahead

Today’s post, Too Late for AKA, is up at RTB today. Stop by and visit if you get a chance.

Whaddya mean it’s not Monday?

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

(It’s not, right? *checks* Okay.)
I just got back from an H&R Block crash course in payroll and employment taxes. I hate math. Fortunately, Phyllis seriously rocks, and I’m no longer playing Blind Man’s Bluff with the IRS. But did I mention I hate math?
I’m a bit worried about PBW. […]

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Monday, October 24th, 2005

The Good:
Here’s a portion of Just Erotic Romance Review’s review of Twice Upon A Roadtrip:
Twice Upon a Roadtrip is a fun, sexy book about a fling during a road
trip. Jill can’t really deal with stress and conflict. Whenever things
get dicey, she high tails it out of there. She thinks that a fling with
Ethan is just […]
