After two hours of sleep I decided to do my Black Friday shopping. I am not a shopper. I can’t imagine why I’d be willing to stand in line or sleep in a parking lot. Hmmmm. Nope–nothing comes to mind. However, I’m happy to click a few buttons to knock out the major shopping. So, [...]

I seem to have a cold, and I spent most of yesterday asleep. Sleep and I have a contentious relationship. I don’t do much of it as a rule, and there are times when I imagine the whole world sleeping in comfy beds, while I wander from window to window, wishing morning would show up. [...]

I’m busy packing for this year’s writing retreat, so today’s a random post. I checked in on that lovely orange tree. By the time I get back from the retreat, it’ll probably be bare. We’re due for rain in the next few days here. That usually washes the leaves right out of the trees. Yesterday, [...]

Last weekend my daughter and I went home for a family reunion. We had so much fun I didn’t take photos. I’m sorry about that because the trees are showing amazing colors. The only bad thing about going home is the leaving. I love my beloved family so much, and I love seeing my girl [...]

Autumn, I mean, and this is why! Fuzzy jammys and socks! So comforting to wear, so cozy! The temps are supposed to climb tomorrow, so I’m guessing this is a one-day fuzzy-clothing extravaganza, but I’m wallowing while it lasts! It strikes me most romance writers post lovely photos of shoes and such. I love handbags [...]

We’ve lived in our house for five years. I can’t believe that’s true even as I write it. But here’s the thing. I do my best cleaning when we move, and over the years, we’ve moved regularly. So often, I get itchy feet, but I also envy people who get to live one place all [...]

I think we’re saying goodbye to the #@#%&* summer. After months of excessive heat and gasping drought, we’re finally getting rain! In fact we were under a flood watch yesterday. The temperatures dropped like a lovely, magical cooling stone. (That doesn’t make sense. You know, I’d like to at least write a blog post without [...]

Writing this post is part of my work day. I usually post at night, but schedule for the early morning hours. After a day of writing, doing what is essentially a journal entry clears my mind for the next day. Wonder where my senior English teacher from high school is now. She started us on [...]

I’m a patient woman. I don’t usually notice crying children in restaurants/on planes until someone else (naming no names) gives me the squirrely-eyed, help-me-escape look. I can explain how to restore all the programs my beloved deletes from his phone without getting testy because I’ve told him how to restore them forty times before. (His [...]

How nice to see you! Except I have a busy weekend. I still need to write, so I’ll be leaving the laptop on to eye me with disapproval if I ignore it. :-) Last night, the temperature suddenly dropped, and it was so cool I could walk in my neighborhood. My girl and I went [...]
