Surviving the End of the World

I’m not a big fan of reality tv, but I’ll admit I’m hooked on the Discovery channel’s The Colony. It’s about a group of ten people trying to survive a catastrophic event.

Spring Cleaning

I love spring cleaning, I’ll admit it. That’s partly ‘cause I’m a neat freak, partly ‘cause I really hate winter, and partly the whole starting over new aspect of it. This is a three pronged approach for me.

Welcoming the New Year

2008 is almost over and I am so glad to see the end of it. It’s been a long, hard year for me and my family. I’m hopeful that 2009 will bring better things.

It's just not that glamorous

I’ve recently discovered the joys of Facebook addiction. Yeah. Probably not something to brag about, huh? But highly entertaining when you are in the throes of serious procrastination lol. ;)

Hello from Hilton Head

Well, actually I’m not at Hilton Head as I write this, but I’ll be there tomorrow when this posts. g It’s my annual squash vacation-last hurrah before school-go to conference tradition. Usually the order is more along the lines of vacation-conference-last weekend beach trip, but conference is later this time around and my very favorite part of the year—going back to school—is early.

Writing Challenges

I’m a writing challenge drop-out. NaNoWriMo, 70 Days of Sweat, even challenges at Romance Divas are, well, a challenge.

Winter blahs

Anyone get the winter blahs? (Not to be confused with, man is the holiday season ever going to be over angst!?) It probably won’t surprise anyone to hear I really don’t like winter. Heck, I live in southern Alabama partly to avoid snow. Plus I hate being cold. (My west coast friends have spent months warning me about Nationals this year. Bring a sweater? Really? In July/Aug? Considering I was the only person I know not complaining about the heat in Atlanta or Dallas, I’ll have to defer to their wisdom in this case.)

A Room of One's Own

Virginia Woolf had it right when she suggested we needed space and money of our own in order to write fiction. Can you write without these two things? Oh sure. But I have a much finer appreciation of both now that I’ve finally (after seven years raising babies at home) gone back to work. There are a few things I’d add to Woolf though.

All dressed up

and nothing to post! I just returned from a week of vacation (in Savannah for the curious), took a look at the calendar, and thought, uh oh. I need to go be witty or provocative or something this morning! My brain is not quite up to it right now.

Fireworks Release

Fireworks by Loribelle Hunt

Can Shane convince Jessie he’s the only man for her before her stalker attempts to end both their lives?
