It’s been a very busy first week of the month, starting with the end of last month. I had a little mini-vacation and I took my family down to Disney for a little weekend excursion. And this happened: We got to meet up with Cheyenne and TheScottsman while they were in Disney on their vacation. […]

Thank you Cheyenne, for the lovely award and for finding me inspirational. I hope I’ll never let you down! I’ve been AWOL for a while, dealing with my life, trying to remain positive, and escaping into my own WIP world from time to time. I’ve been quite a bit on the low side of being positive. […]

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you will know I never intended to have a Facebook account. By chance, someone else signed me up with MY email address. When I went to delete the account, I was curious and found some connections with some very old high school friends. So I kept […]

I became fast friends with a dear, wonderful, and talented lady — KT Hanna. She kept me motivated and encouraged me to keep writing when I wasn’t sure of myself, or my talent. When she told me she was expecting, I wanted to do something extra special, something that I hope the whole family will […]

It is so VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW YOUR MEDICATION!! ********************************** Last week I nearly lost my husband. Again. I always dread when the doctors change his medicine. For some reason, despite the fact they document every medication you take each and every time you go into the office, they just don’t seem to take the […]

I’ve been almost non-existent lately. Not sure anyone really noticed, but I wanted to explain why. Things have been very stressful lately, so much so I became overwhelmed and my strength faltered. I needed to ask for help. I never ask for help. But I’m SLOWLY learning that it’s ok, that it’s not a sign […]

March 2011, a friend of mine saw a post on Craig’s List that said they needed to find a new home for their Scottish Fold. She had 6 other cats and they were just bullying her to the point where she had to live her life in their bedroom. She didn’t want to give her […]

This week is Merry Farmer‘s Birth-week. And in celebration, she is offering her first Historical Romance in the Loyal Series up for free. You can read my review below. And since this is one of my first encounters with a WELL WRITTEN self-published book, I wanted to promote it for her. You can get her book […]

Oxymoron, defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, is “a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g., faith unfaithful kept him falsely true).” This is one of two English terms I absolutely adore. (This one because of the definition. The other, simply because I like to say it.) We’ve all heard many […]

Based on a Twitter conversation between a few of my #writemotivation friends (@mariefrizelle & @DyadicEchoes) I decided to put up a shop for my hub’s saying while deployed to Albania/Kosovo–Embrace The Suck! I’ve always LOVED this saying from the first moment hubs sent me the picture of the sign above his tent. I’ve used it as […]

This weekend was completely insane. It started at 7am on Saturday for the Cub Scout’s Pinewood Derby race. This was by far the best one we’ve attended so far. But, I was standing the whole 6 hours. 🙂 And, with a locked up neck. Son tied for 3rd so they had a run off. He […]

Today is Valentines Day. But I seriously do not believe in today. I’m sorry. Maybe it comes from a long history of never having anyone on my day, or those I did have never gave me anything special. The only thing I ever got worth anything was from my parents. Who knows, I just know […]

First of all, Happy New Year. May this 2012 be everything you thought it would be, and more! May it bless you with kindness, love, and peace. I’m hoping for better! I have had a rough time while on my vacation. I’ve had two weeks off and I’ve been sick the whole time. There has […]
