The Panic Before the Holidays
So after being sick for two weeks, I have a huge list of things I need to get done before the holidays: shopping for presents, stocking stuffers, and food wrapping all the things packaging and mailing boxes sending cards with a letter and photos of the kids And I have to make four batches of caramels! So I did what any reasonable person would do. I wrote down all the little steps so I can see my accomplishments, and I bought four books and read them back to back. Then I decided I'd read them...
Purveyor Of Wizened Wisdom
So there I am lying in bed my body racked with fever and doused with Nyquil (okay Walgreen store brand Nyquil) when my dear daughter walks in and begins to complain about … well… pretty much everything. As she complained I felt a deep connection to something grater. I became a conduit for Wizened Wisdom. DD: Mom I don’t want to go to martial arts tomorrow morning. Logan said he was working so I was expecting to stay home and really I just don’t feel like going. Me: She who pokes tigers with...
Pouting and Holiday Music

Do you choose happiness?
Things can be done in the boring mundane way, or you can be like this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBb5ednCV24 In other happy news, I just wrote The End on my fifth novel! Time to start on the next one. LOL

International dance moves

What was your excuse?
So you can’t do it why? Cause you’re not strong enough, fit enough, thin enough? What exactly are you letting hold you back, cause after watching these I’d challenge your excuses.

She removes her hand and had stuffed the bills in her bra. Grinning she says, “I’m smooth as chunky peanut butter.

Why do I...
