Three Fairy Wishes or How We Curse Our Children
In our youth, or during the hormone-induced states of pregnancy, we say foolish things. What we don't realize is just like the fairies from Sleeping Beauty we can impart wishes on our children. We do this without thought and certainly without meaning to. Don't believe me? I can give you examples. When I was about four or five months pregnant with my son, I was reading Calvin and Hobbs. I can remember saying, "You know I don't think Calvin's parents really appreciate him." Um, HELLO, what...
Mad rambles of the first week of a ‘cleanse’
Okay so I'm calling what I'm doing a cleanse, because that's what it is. I am cleansing my body to try and break unhealthy eating habits, and also trying to create new ones. Anyway now to the fun part- my thoughts, such as they were, for the first week of raw fruit and one protein shake per day. Day 1- I am high on excitement and self-righteousness. I will beat my unhealthy eating habits. I will rise above negative thinking and slay the dieting yo-yo. I am the master of my destiny! I kicked...
Help me Read Your Books!!!
This is for ALL authors, so please listen up, this could mean the difference from my downloading your book and actually reading and reviewing it! When I download books onto my Kindle Fire, I rarely just download one. So as I browse, get hooked by covers, read blurbs, and then buy, who knows how many will wind up in my Kindle that day? Unlike a regular Kindle, the Fire doesn’t have a way to sort books, which I would do when I bought them if it did. Are you listening Amazon developers? I want to...
Sexy Sherlock
I am re-posting this because 1- I have a lot more friends now *waves to you all* and 2- Season Two of Sherlock starts Sunday night on PBS!!!!!! I am so excited. I LOVE Sherlock Holmes stories from the old Basil Rathbone to the new Robert Downey Jr.- I am also ashamed to admit I’ve never read the books but I do plan to. Anyway the BBC show Sherlock is an modern Sherlock Holmes story. Watson was hurt in Afghanistan, and he’s competent not a bumbling fool- which I like. Sherlock is seriously off,...
Battle!!!
FYI- this post hasn't been edited because I'm feeling inspired right now and because this is a raw subject so I'm letting myself be raw and vulnerable. Okay I'm a day late posting and don't have time to get it edited- but the vulnerable thing sounded good right? Today is the day I stop ‘trying to lose weight’ and do it. Six years ago I began my battle with my body, trying different things to lose weight. I would say out loud that I wanted to be healthy and feel better. I have a daughter whose...

High Kick Girl
So this high school Japanese girl has managed to become a great marital artist, yet in all of her training has missed the spiritual lessons of Karate. Anyway her teacher refuses to give her a black belt. In her desire to prove her strength, she makes a stupid (she is a teenager) choice and winds up in a gang. You need a buddy to laugh and heckle at the movie with you, it will make this more fun. The martial arts is okay. The sensei is the best, but unfortunately he doesn’t fight until the end....
