37 First Grader Books On Valentine's Day

What's pretty sad is I just now realized I haven't talked about the Owlsome Readers program that's currently in full swing at Cara and Ollie's school. The reason this is so sad? I'm the Publicity Chair/Coordinator for the whole shebang. Dang it! Here's a snippet (which I wrote) of the official press release for the program: Owlsome Readers is a ...

Have you ever had a friend ask you to read their book and get maybe just a twinge of dread?  No? Just me? Liar.  It's not that I necessarily expect the book to suck. My writer friends are pretty awesome writers so I expect what they send me to be at least decent. Maybe even awesome.  But that dread? It's from ...

I started The Fault in Our Stars last night. I stayed up until 3 am and finally drifted off to sleep on a wet pillow.

2012 has come to a close and now we're on to 2013. I can vividly remember it being 1990. I feel quite old all of a sudden. We've been in the house a year now. Cara started school. Tucker's almost done with his. I got offered a job. I found my biological mother and siblings. ...

From my Facebook page this morning: After the millionth surgery on the Keurig, it's dead to me. Tried to make coffee on the stove in a pan. Fail. Don't be taken in by the yummy looking coffee; this tastes like dirty water. NaNoWriMo and I have broken up. I'm bummed I'm not going to complete the challenge but there ...

NaNoWriMo Day One Halloween and the Halloween Wreath

Filed Under: Gifs, Life, NaNoWriMo 2012

Today was the first day of NaNoWrimo and I'm pretty sure I done good. I met my writing goal for the day--2k words--and identified a bunch of holes I missed. Like three important characters that didn't have names and two organizations that also didn't have names. I fixed the people naming issue but the organizations are ...
