When I was still writing for b5media and specifically their Spirits category – booze not ghosts – I was sent a movie to review: Beer Wars. As seems to happen to things I intend on watching or reading, one of the kids quickly carted the DVD off and it wasn’t until Tucker rearranged the living [...]

Right after Tucker and I got married, I bought a very cool corset, wore it once and now I find I can’t wear it. Two kids in a couple of years and life in general has a habit of expanding a person…if you know what I mean. Drew over at Lingerie.com contacted me and wanted [...]

I’m one of those especially annoying people who correct what other people say. The compulsion isn’t as bad as it used to be – now I usually just correct stuff in mah head. I blame that compulsion on my mom because she’s an easy target [Hi, Mom!] and she isn’t nearly as good as me [...]

Ever get to that point right before you’re supposed to go grocery shopping where you have like some flour, a couple of cans of vegetables of some sort and some peanut butter? Maybe you haven’t but that’s where we were today and though we’re going to stock up tomorrow, we needed milk and eggs and [...]

Eight days ago, Cara took it upon herself to decorate her room. With a cheap black crayon. If you’re wondering, don’t go cheap with the crayons; buy the washable type. Trust me. This was the result of Cara’s work: Mind you, if she had put this artwork on paper, I would have probably hung it [...]

This weekend was just a normal weekend. We cleaned up a bit. I broke my website so I could fix it and redesign it. I waited impatiently for my copy of Charlaine Harris’s new Sookie Stackhouse book – Dead in the Family – to arrive. I have some opinions on the book. Once Alana finishes [...]

Cara has been interested in books since she was about nine months old. At that age, I guess she was more interested in ripping up the books than she was in listening to the story but she’s gotten better with age. Thankfully. Replacing all of those books got expensive! We’ve made it a habit to [...]

You know how much I love the Sookie Stackhouse books. And when I say “love”, I mean I’ve read some of those books – Book 4, HELLO! – multiple times. Of course I’ve been watching the True Blood series and though I don’t particularly love the direction Alan Ball has taken, I still can’t quit [...]

When Sophie was a puppy – maybe three months old – she was viciously attacked by a chihuahua. Yeah, I know. My pit bull was attacked by achihuahua. We don’t talk about it much because it reminds Sophie she was pwned by a dog that was already half her size. I wrote a long time [...]
