• Snippet of Soul Mage

    It’s cold. As in a miserable wind chill. Of course, by the looks of the storms hitting east of here, from Minnesota to Main to Florida, I’ve nothing to complain about. So I will endeavor not to. First day of…

  • Old or antique?

    The purple I put in my hair is not holding. That means my hair is too healthy. Dammit. So I have to do a bit of bleaching apparently. The color is also oddly darker than usual, so maybe the bleach…

  • The day that was/is

    Remember that post I made with the saddle that reminded me of Sheri Tepper’s Grass? Today I got awesome spam mail wanting to buy it. Bwahahahaha! And if it *was* like the Grass device, they’d be so very sorry to…

  • TV annoyances and 7th graders

  • Recovery

    As I mentioned, yesterday I finished my proposal chapters. Late last night, I finished polishing them up to send to my agent. Part of that polishing revolved around consistency. I had changed some name spellings and some capitalizations, and I…

  • Admissions and a snippet

    I admit that it’s been a hard day. I had a bit of a meltdown actually. The culprit is Valentine’s day. But not in the way that you might thing. My husband and I don’t usually do much for V…

  • bububbbbbb

    I don’t know what happened to me this morning. I passed out after I sent the kids to school and slept for three hours. Three. Hours. WTF?  I then managed to get some laundry done and cleaned the fish tank…
