Life

I finally managed to finish my first story for Rough Trade, but I'm not so sure I'll get very far with the second since it's almost the end of the month. Which kinda sucks, because that'll be the second time I'll not get to that particular one, but ah well. Between the heat, watching kids, …

Wildlife Safari

Week before last we took our niece and nephew to the Wildlife Safari. I'd never been, but hubby had... twenty years or so ago, that is. It was way more fun than I'd anticipated, and I'd figured it would be a lot of fun, so... 😉 I'm not gonna post all the pictures I took, …

Worth It

A very late (for me) post today. Way past my bedtime-late even. Why? Because hubby and I spent all day hanging out with friends, playing board games and having a ton of fun. We introduced our friends to Gloom, and they in turn taught me Catan. I'm sure I'll be paying for staying up late …

Battery Low

This has been a low-battery (or low on spoons, if you prefer) kind of week. Partly due to lack of sleep (not for lack of trying) and partly due to pain. To be honest, I'm not even entirely sure what I've done this past week. I vaguely recall doing a little cross stitching - and …

Ramblings on Creative Expression

Hello everyone! First of all, thanks to Karin for giving me a place to ramble for a little while. I’ll do my best to make sense, but as I’m in the middle of editing a fantasy novel that’s longer than my last two books put together it’s possible I’ve just lost all ability to word. …

Babble, books and… uh, bustle?

Hi! This is a little weird for me, since I don't really have my own blogs or anything but I’m super excited! I love reading Naelany's blog and now I get to post! I'm Pam and I use the handle Lace & Leather for my Rough Trade writing, which then gets posted under LadyMaya on A03. Or it would …

Party Beans

Hi all! My name is Jamie but mostly on the interwebs I go by Mischiefmaker1 or some variation.  When K approached me about doing another guest spot I had no idea what I would do for ya'll. I've got my  hands in so many pies and I wear so many hats, it's hard to choose. …

Fiberkitty Returns!

Hi! I’m Miya, known by some as Fiberkitty, and I’ve visited this blog before. At first, I didn’t know if I’d have anything new from my crafts to show off, but then I looked around my dining room, saw the painting work I've been doing, and I remembered the projects I’ve finished for other people. …

Sigh

What is the last thing you want to have happen when you're already in pain? That's right, you don't want to add an injury, too. Except that's exactly what happened this week when I rolled my ankle bad enough to also wrench my hip (yep, same one that has been giving me issues) as well …

Ouch

Today isn't a very good day as far as pain levels go. For some reason (I swear someone's playing with my voodoo doll again) the pain keeps shifting between my hips and my head, bouncing to a few other places in between. Not fun. Also not conducive to getting stuff done, though I've tried. Flu …
