The Hobbit (with spoilers)
I watched The Hobbit last night with the family. It was enjoyable and I did like it. It was not, however, a movie that matched the book all that well. I’m not unhappy about that, because I did like what…
Spring yard cleaning
With improved health, the man and I have been doing work around the house. Because there are green leaves on things. GREEN!!! My roses are leafing out. Yes, I grow roses in Montana. And I have a grape and gooseberries.…
Crud crud cruddity
I have this idea for a book. Have had it. But now that I’m digging into how certain things are going to work, I can’t make sense of it. Then I had a shining brilliant idea. It could work. But…
updatery
I am still feeling awful, so I can’t do a full con report at this point. We made the trip and spent the night at S.A. Bolich’s house in Spokane. The next day we got to the hotel later than…

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,…
