Oh my God! I HATE my hands sometimes! I was just typing a post a few minutes ago, and all of the sudden, my hands spazzed and I hit the save it and post button! It's gonna be one of those days. Still, I'm grateful that I'm able to use my hands and type at all. I know some people who can't use their... Sign in to see full entry.

I did manage to work on Ben's story last night, but didn't get to where I wanted to be. So obviously, I didn't post it here last night. I meant to, but I had to make an emergency trip to the loo! The problem taken care of, I didn't feel like coming back downstairs only to have to go back up again.... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie and I have been bombarded!...LOL. Her sister and nephew are here until Friday, mabye longer. It wasn't a planned visit, and frankly I'm a little off balance just now. Stil, it won't be all bad. Her sister wants to go out tomorrow to shop for some yarn. Maybe we can all go to FRIENDLY'S for... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here I sit on this late Wednesday morning trying to decide what to do first. I want to leaf through those pattern books some more. I want to write. And not just story writing. I still have to write that letter to Uncle Ben. I have to re-write the letter to my son. I want to finsh Michael... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey gang... Rise up and rejoice, o faithful readers of my tales! I've decided to work on Ben's story first tonight after all!! Now, as I've said before, I'm only going to post what's been worked on most recently, so for anyone wanting to figure things out, you'll have to scroll through my previous...

My friend Volodya, who lives in Moskow, is so funny! He's also very sweet. The Russian Independence Day is coming up soon, and he's looking forward to four day's holiday from work. He makes me laugh. A couple of months ago, he emailed me saying he and some friends were going shopping for new cell... Sign in to see full entry.

Talk about weird! About half an hour ago, I saw something on tv that made me laugh. It seems that TV GUIDE has just released their annual "sexiest people" pole. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it... Desi Arnaz was listed as one of tv's sexiest men! Granted, he wasn't a bad looking chap at... Sign in to see full entry.

We didn't get those thunderstorms after all. At least, not yet. We may still get them tonight. I did get a brief chance to leaf through one of the pattern books Grammy gave me and I love almost all of them. I can't wait to get started! I think I'll work on BLOOD SISTERS for a while. I know I've... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone... Well, I feel much better now I've finally been able to have a shower and a bite to eat! I'm still dog tired though, and I have a hunch I'll sleep like a baby tonight. Roommie's gone out for a few minutes, but not for long. When she gets back we'll let Mocha out of his pen for a... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day holiday. Roommie and I didn't celebrate much, but as you know, Mum and Grammy came for coffee. I'm off to the shower and then I'm probably going to leaf through those crochet books she brought me. Poor Roommie and I didn't get to sleep until... Sign in to see full entry.

Most of you know that I love M*A*S*H. I've partially based my story BLOOD SISTERS on that show. But I also love I LOVE LUCY. They show it in re-runs a few times a day on our TV LAND, and Roommie and I insist on watching it every chance we get! I'm enjoying the re-runs so much that I finally broke...

Mum and Grammy left just a short time ago, after having coffee with Roommie and I. I love seeing my Grammy, because she's such fun! I showed her my new sets of knitting looms and pattern books that go with them and she wants to learn! I'm not very good at it myself yet, but I'm trying hard and I... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been thinking about this all day, and I know now I've got to do it. God is asking me to, so I have to obilge. I was just thinking today about how many of our service men and women don't get letters from home. Maybe because they have no families to speak of. For them, and even those who have...

Happy Memorial Day everyone... I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday. Please remember to take a few moments to thank and give honour to our troops fighting abroad, and here at home. Ask God to protect them and bring them home safely. Take a few moments to thank and honour those fallen, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Hope some of you have either read or re-read BLOOD SISTERS for the first time or whatever time you happen to be up to at this point! Here's the next bit...enjoy! Later that night Molly comes back to the villa and the women dine on a succulent feast of vegetable soup prepared by Clare, along with two... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I'll get back to Ben's story tomorrow, but for tonight I felt the BLOOD SISTERS calling to me again, so I must answer! For those who may have missed it or simply want another read, I'm going to post this one from the beginning again. This is much shorter than Ben...I promise! Hope you... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't stand another minute of this! My voices are coming again, all begging that their stories be told...and some whose stories have been in my head for ages now, but still remain untold. As I promised, there will be more of Ben's story. But for tonight, I feel the need to write something... Sign in to see full entry.

At the request of some of my readers of Ben's story, I'll be posting only the installments of what is next written, rather than going back to the beginning over and over again. That should make it easier for some of you to enjoy the story. I also need to go back and make some minor corrections. Some... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just been replying to all the main selections and what not from my many book clubs and the DVD club I joined. Frankly, I don't like this particular club any more, and yesterday while she was only Roommie found a much cheaper one so I may end up joining them instead. I hate having to go through...

I wasn't planning on writing today...not for a few days actually...but writing is my only solice at this point. The one and ONLY thing that is distracting me from the intense chronic pain. For this small deliverence, I am most grateful. My back went into spasm this morning just as I was dragging... Sign in to see full entry.
