Spring things

Well, Spring is here, so that means enjoying the warmer weather (I hate the cold) and getting used to everything being green again (finally). I actually am not the biggest fan of Spring because the weather is inconsistent (thus my joints are consistently achy) and since the sun is just now out more, the SAD is off-kilter so I’m sporadically hyper. Regardless, I’m enjoying the sun and Continue reading →

Mobile Rant: 2009-03-23

Ah, German food. And I made it! It’s sauerkraut (canned, not homemade–I haven’t gotten that good at cooking yet), German fries, and brawursts. By the way, it was awesome! I should cook more. Next time, I’m thinking the brats need to be on the grill. I like grilling!

Published! (again)

Woohoo! After much fighting with the word processor and the cover creator on Lulu’s page, I finally have uploaded the paperback version of my first fiction novel, Two Minds Are Better Than One. I think I’m going to go back and make a hardback version available too, which means more fighting with their cover creator and all that, but it’s worth it. So exciting! Now I just need to Continue reading →

♣ Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ♣

Today is also the Republic of Ireland’s national holiday. 🙂 I got a bunch of fun St. Patrick’s Day stuff from Aunt Pamela and wore some of it to work today. I had made a bunch of shamrock and four-leaf-clover pins for my co-workers so that no one had to go without green as well. I think I saw more green in the library today both on patrons and staff than ever before. Hooray! My Continue reading →

Titles

I stink at titles. I really do. I just can’t come up with titles for ninety percent of the things that I write. In my creative writing classes, I had to come up with titles for my short stories and poems (and when you’ve got over three hundred poems, that’s a LOT of titles!) and always felt that whatever I came up with just fell short. My titles weren’t witty or insightful or even altogether that Continue reading →

Thorny business

So last Thursday or Friday (can’t remember which), I was out in the side yard trying to get the cat to come back in the hosue. Since I hadn’t planned on being out there that long, I hadn’t bothered to stick shoes on. I’m a barefoot kind of person 90% of the time that I’m not at work or out shopping. So I wander around the yard trying to get the cat to follow me back to the door. We Continue reading →

DONE!

Sweet! I finished typing up the last chapter of Book One tonight! Or was it last night? This daylight savings thing has my system off as I try to remember whether I’ve switched all the clocks or not. Regardless, Book One is all typed up! At the moment, it is 277 pages. Those aren’t the typical pages that a word processor creates with 8.5″ x 11″ pages. These are pages for a 6″ x 9″ Continue reading →

Happy birthday, Tommy!

Today is Tommy’s 27th birthday! Woohoo! We texted back and forth for a while after I wished him a happy birthday, and he seemed to have a good day. He did some walking and running and ate some strawberry cake. Sounds like a good day to me, minus the running. 😉 My poor, arthritic knees couldn’t handle that! I have been trying to get on the elliptical for a while on the days when Continue reading →
