One small spurt of creativity and words
Today turned out to be one of those days where I did extraordinarily little but hang out with the kids. I did make them clean their rooms and scoop dog poop. And I read. I finally had a creativity/writing push…
The end of football and a cool announcement
The end of flag football anyhow. The kids lost both games this morning, and I have to say, given the freaking wing chill, I wasn’t as unhappy as I should have been. They both played well and had great games,…
Argh. And . . . Argh.
This morning I took the kids to school at their request and then I took the dogs out to the soccer field to walk them. Usually I walk all the way around and then out to this other field where…
Confessions about watching bad TV

food and a call for help
I’ve spent a bunch of time today setting up promotional events (blog tours stuff mostly) and some interviews, and my Shindig event, which is going to me doing a reading online for all of you and whoever wants to attend…
