I survived! and my Norwescon Schedule
I survived the sleepover. Except that girlie now has what you might euphemistically call intestinal distress. By which I mean I’m washing a lot of clothes and her sheets (that I incidentally watched just yesterday) because, well, it got ugly,…
The state of me
Is surprisingly sane. I have an extra girl here and apparently little girls turn into freaking cocaine-jumped-up kangaroos when they get together. They were (thankfully and finally) playing outside when a friend drove by with her father and she stopped…
Dead Roman Emperors and life
It was Roman day at boy’s school today and he was assigned a famous Roman to dress up as. He wore a toga and gold laurel head piece and this ornament pin we made him. So that was exciting. Oh,…

writing series and trilogies
I forgot to mention I have a post up on Magical Words today about writing a series and trilogy and how to plan them out.
Random Thoughts
I don’t like Woody Allen films. I don’t usually get the humor, or they are boring, or something. I generally avoid them. I was elbowed in the face by boy last night. So if/when the bruise develops and I don’t…
