I’ve been having font issues. Pull out your magnifying glass and read the last post for proof. Not sure what’s causing this particular theme to go tiny on occasion, but I did a study of html to try and get past it on my own. Sorry for skipping the Sunday ramble. I really don’t know…

Conversation, Coffee and Affection
I named my Sunday morning ramble today. 🙂 This has been one of the best mornings I’ve had in a while. I awakened to a lazy, longer than usual lie-about with a ceiling fan whirring above my head and birds singing outside the windows. The hubby, who owns a business that requires him to travel an…
Miss It Already
I won’t be able to blog much for a few days. I’m sending my laptop home with this great IT person who offered to try and figure out why it takes half an hour to boot and why I must reboot ever two hours. And why my new security software boots me off my wireless…
Star Wars Suffering
I’ve discovered I don’t enjoy a story if I know the ending. I never watched the Titanic. I didn’t plan to watch 300. If I know I’m going to get upset, I’ll avoid a movie completely. Tonight, the hubby is watching Star Wars Episode III and yeah, it’s been out a long time, but…
Blog Traffic and Kalli’s Beautiful Pipes
I’m so interested in how people end up on this blog. For a little while, I was receiving over 400 hits a day. Now, it’s back down around 200. Either I’ve been terrifically boring (a distinct possibility because of lack of good writing posts like in the past) or the Smart Bitches link to my site…
Back To School Day!
This was probably similar to the view from my daughter’s bus this morning. Only there were trees and houses… and MY DAUGHTER running toward it as it sped away… The first morning of the first day of school was hectic! Yep, my highschooler missed the bus, though it wasn’t her fault at all. The wrong…
New Head Please–Feeling Snarky
I need a vacation from my own head. Okay, I’ll be honest. I think my family could use a vacation from the one I have now. Living with me lately has probably been similar to living among thousands of hot, electrical wires. I noticed they’ve been walking slow, eyes darting left and right… I’m just…
Wanna Take Me (And other strangers) On?
How about a little challenge? Ever wanted to write a post-apocalyptic short-short story (up to 2500 wds) and enter it in a contest? Guess what? Here’s your chance! And the entry is free. In fact, check out the deadline and winnings details … here. Anyone who has read this blog awhile knows I’m a fan of Apex Science…
Saturday Ramble… Strong Heroines
Last night, before Gerard and his lovely buddies scrambled the brain, my sister, Jana, and I shared some Merlot and talked books. She is verra hard to please. She misses the older style romances with the strong alpha heroes and the heroines who show more strength of character than physical. One of her favorite books…
There Was a Plot?
Went to my sister’s tonight. We watched 300. On a big screen. With surround sound. The movie should come with a freaking warning. And fans. Lots and lots of fans. OMG. OMG. I’m not sure I heard a word of the movie the first thirty minutes and if I hadn’t been at my sister’s, I’m…
