Reading is something I really enjoy doing but rarely get to do. Since taking on my new job I have worked more hours than I expected I would. Add to that taking care of kids, being a wife and working on my own writing, it doesn’t leave a lot of time. If I do haveContinue reading “Horns by Joe Hill: Used Book Giveaway!”

Low-carb HAZELNUT MOCHACCINO TORTE BIRTHDAY CAKE!
Yes, another food post. I know, I know, this post should be about writing somehow. But food has been somewhat interesting lately, or really, not that interesting. It’s fairly restrictive, so I’m looking for ways to satisfy my chocolate carb cravings without going off protocol. Janeva from my Ideal Protein board is constantly making wonderfulContinue reading “Low-carb HAZELNUT MOCHACCINO TORTE BIRTHDAY CAKE!”
Rude Drivers and Elevator Etiquette
To the man who raised his hands in exasperation to me while driving today, Sir, I don’t know what you wanted. I was waiting to turn left into 8th Street Family Video and you were in a long string of on-coming traffic. You slowed down and flashed your lights at me… but you didn’t slowContinue reading “Rude Drivers and Elevator Etiquette”
This is not a recipe blog-blog post!
I started a very, very restrictive diet and it’s been working great. My new job doesn’t afford me much time to think about food, so Ideal Protein is the perfect answer. A creative lady who must be related to Gordon Ramsey for some of the ideas she comes up with, posted this recipe and IContinue reading “This is not a recipe blog-blog post!”
This is not a Pipe
This is not a pipe dream. I was told a story about this painting, one that has always stuck with me. The story told of how Rene Magritte’s father didn’t believe he could ever make it as a painter. René painted this as a response to his father’s insistence that Reneé’s dream was a pipeContinue reading “This is not a Pipe”
Science of Happiness- Session one
I’m taking this class on The Science of Happiness through EdX..because I am stupid, I guess. And I need one more thing I have to do besides work, mother, wife, write and photograph people. Did I also mention I’m the new Municipal Liaison for NaNoWriMo’s newly created Grand Traverse Region? More evidence that not onlyContinue reading “Science of Happiness- Session one”
Coffee Non-conformist
I’m drinking coffee. I dislike coffee. Anything that looks like dirt mixed with water should be met with distrust. Except in cases that involve chocolate. I like chocolate. Therefore I take my dirt water and mix it with a teaspoon of cocoa. About a 1/2 cup of coconut milk and a packet of Splenda. ItContinue reading “Coffee Non-conformist”
Music Monday: ∆
It’s another Music Monday! I know I know, I hardly blog anymore and now I do it’s to blabber about a song I like. I was quite right to wonder if I would have time to write with this new gig. I worked about fourteen hours on Friday and on Saturday my body hurt likeContinue reading “Music Monday: ∆”
Done and On to the Next
Last night after my husband I were incapable of watching Bad Grandpa (we just couldn’t do it) I decided to do more editing for Second Chance Key. I surprised myself and finished going through the edits and am now farming it off to beta readers. After I get some initial feedback I may approach aContinue reading “Done and On to the Next”
Late Night Brain Gumbo
This is an amalgam of junk to let you know what I’m up to. Brain Gumbo. Let’s start with the fact that I am stupid? I’m dumb because I try to do too much. Like all the time. My new job requires longer hours AND some nights too. Like three nights last week. But IContinue reading “Late Night Brain Gumbo”
