Walking the Fine Line
I'm caught in the middle of a his, mine, and ours battle, and I don't know how to get out. This is one of those situation where my subconscious tells me I've made my bed and now I have to put up with the bedbugs. That no matter what I do, I won't be better off than I am now, and one day, no matter...

Yippee!
One of my erotica stories is finally in a paperback. Doesn't feel as good as I thought it would since I used a pen name. Now, how to promote it best... I'm thinking... I'm thinking. I mean, after all, what is the point of a pen name if you are going to go around blabbing it to every Tom, Dick, and...

Christmas Cards
It must be that time of the decade again. I am attempting to send out Christmas cards. When I was younger, I was great about sending out cards to friends and family. Over the years, other priorities have taken over, and now I am lucky if I at least buy Christmas cards. I seldom get them mailed. I...

Appreciation Lost
The conversation came up again of me returning to work when the children go off to elementary school. When I mentioned that fact I already work three part-time jobs at home and could continue to do so with more substantial results once I don't have runamoks under my feet, his response was he hasn't...

As Luck Would Have It
As luck would have it, I am feeling better today after a 48-hour bout with the flu. Wouldn't you know, while down with the flu, I was the only parent on premises, and last minute changes had to be made to a story. I am sure the readers of the story will think I am now heavily into drugs. I am...

Flash Fiction Contest
There is nothing better than a free flash fiction contest. 2006 Stilleto Flash Contest Ok, so it is erotica. I can write erotica, I think. Either way, flash fiction is a great way to wake up a dull mind.

Christmas Shopping
Usually I am done with Christmas shopping long before Thanksgiving. It gives me a sense of satisfaction to complete a task early, and Christmas shopping is one of those tasks I enjoy. On the other hand, I have the sneaking suspicion I do not save much money doing it this way. I inevitably decide to...

Book Reviews
Writing a book review for an acquaintance is an iffy business at best, especially if you are an opinionated critic who has a hard time turning off her editor and just reading for the sake of enjoyment. Even so, I'm off to my next adventure into writing a fair and impartial review that screams read...

Yo Ho Ho & a Bottle of Rum
Around this time every year, I crave a drink. Usually I want a big glass of honey mead, but this year, I'd settle for rum. I'm sure this need has something to do with missing the holidays of my childhood. I do try to recreate them, but it is not the same, and too many of the old folks are gone. I do...

Sometimes I Amaze Myself
Every decade or so, I actually cook something work bragging about. The entire Thanksgiving feast this year was exceptional, but the one item that stood out above all others was the cloverleaf dinner rolls. As a youngster, I won blue ribbons for my yeast breads. This were even better than those. Want...
