To have a case of the megrims was to have a headache. Often from the descriptions in diaries, these may have been migraine attacks or at the very least serious tension headaches. Darkened rooms, an absence of sound, relief brought on by a cool, damp cloth on one’s forehead or the back of one’s neck…
This week has been insane. It seems like everything that could have gone wrong, has and if it hasn’t yet, it’s waiting to do so until just the right moment. Dealing with crazy vendor issues with the rental property we own. Trying to get an estimate for some work done there totally ruined my day…
Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s time once again for hearts, chocolates, diamonds (no dear, that’s not a hint) and of course free reads from the Romance Divas, who have just wrapped up their third annual e-book challenge where the members are encouraged to write a story and put it up for free. THE DIVAS E-BOOK CHALLENGE…
I figured since I talked about it so much, I better share it. The cake was baked as part of my son’s annual Blue & Gold dinner for Cub Scouts. Each year a different theme is chosen for the cake decorations. We’ve done sports & games (a 3-d chess piece), space (a 3-d Vader’s Tie…
Ya know, I should have left myself some notes the other day when I said I had ideas about what to write on. I can’t remember a one now. The week has flown by, but it feels like it was filled with one thing after another. I think I’ve managed to stay on top of…
Don’t worry, I’m not going to wax nostalgic about an 80s movie here. But the title was fitting for how I’ve been thinking about this blog lately… It doesn’t matter what I say in this post, it’s more a matter of a need to “say anything” at all. I just need to post something, and…
This is the weather forecast I was greeted with for the week when I sat down this morning. Sixty-four to eighty-seven? I foresee another round of colds and nonsense in the near future. *sigh* It’s bad enough I haven’t really seen seasons in action for the past dozen years or so, but do we have…
Visit the forums at Romance Divas for our Historical Romance Workshop with Mary Jo Putney, Gaelen Foley, Joanna Bourne and Alissa Johnson! I’m hoping I can find the time to drop by and participate this week. Joanna Bourne’s Technical Topics on her blog are always a treat, so this interactive event should be extra special.
When is one-third, not one-third? Say you have a math homework problem and you’re eleven years old and you HATE fractions with a burning passion. You ask your mom across the room, “What does ONE DIVIDED BY THREE equal?” You get extremely upset with her when she offhandedly (and quite innocently) replies ONE-THIRD. You…
13 Staples on My Grocery List Sorry for the boring topic, but I just remembered it was time for the Thursday Thirteen post again. This week has been insane. The kids had school off on Monday and it seems to be the week for all sorts of appointments. I’ve been to the dentist…
