Brenda Novak’s 2008 Online Auction to Benefit Diabetes Research starts tomorrow and there about a gazillion things I’d like to buy—starting with the autographed Ali photo.
One thing that really caught my eye—some of the editorial evaluations have a promised response time, ranging from 24 hours to 2 weeks.
Dayum!
Considering I’ve had a partial hanging out […]

Neil Diamond? Oh, come on! What’s next? Julia Ward Howe week?
Digression—NCIS: Anybody else think the giving of the laptop would have been more touching if she’d given her the power cord, too?
Anyway…(Pleasepleaseplease don’t let Archuleta sing “Sweet Caroline”.)
Crap, they’re each doing two songs tonight. I’ll take the performances in order rather than try to […]

My unabashed adoration for secret baby romances isn’t something I keep buried behind the bassinet. I’ve even written two of them myself. As a reader I’ve gone through a ton of them, and I have certain expectations:
1. Whatever separated them post-conception can’t sustain the book. There has to be a conflict in the here and […]

We made a fairly last minute decision to go north this weekend. While we couldn’t ride the ATVs because it’s mud season, the water was back on in the campground so we got to open up the camper for the season. Air it out, do some raking, sit on the deck. Seriously strenuous stuff.

Despite chaos ensuing due to bathroom demolition, a last-minute decision to go out of town this weekend (which I’m frantically preparing for) and what should have been an easy Trend Micro renewal turning into a horror show that took both of my computers down for hours, I managed to get a post up at Romancing […]

I’m not really sure. Charli and Jordan are talking about their horoscopes from freewillastrology.com so, naturally, I had to run over and find mine.

Please don’t text and smoke crack at the same time.
   
 On what planet were Jason and Brooke better than Carly and Syesha?

Dear David Archuleta: (”The Long and Winding Road”) My sister will call me later and give me a telephonic bitchslap for saying this, but: I think you are a fabulous Broadway-ish singer, but not a “pop” singer. If they have Andrew Lloyd Webber week, […]

Did I mention my kids are on spring break?
Quite a while ago, an Evil Video Rental Conglomerate moved into town and put our nice, comfy little-town video rental place out of business. Not willing to provide ten major credit cards and a DNA sample to the EVRC, we went without. This led to […]

I’m on Day 3 of the headache from hell, so excuse the absence and any imminent incoherence. I also had to clear my cache/cookies/whatever the other day and it took me forever to find the password to my own blog.
It was a hell of a weekend. Friday the husband and I put up […]
