You should be ashamed of yourself because I’m not talking about what you think I’m talking about. Pervert.
You know those cutesy, alliterative days-of-the week assignments that some bloggers do? “Wordless Wednesday” is a popular example, a day for a photo post and nothing else. Fridays usually find me exhausted from working and mothering and...

As part of the WordCount blogathon, participants were given a prompt for today’s entry: My top five books on writing are…

Manifest this, buddy
A few years ago, I signed up to receive a motivational quote of the day in my e-mail. No, I didn’t sell Amway; I just like a little lift once in a while, and my prescription pad got confiscated. I had to make do.

And away we go!
Heaven help me, the blogathon starts today.
Today is the first day of the 2011 WordCount Blogathon. I will posting every day in May on this little web site that I tenderly refer to as “the soul-destroying timesuck I pay GoDaddy for every month against my better judgment.”

My 20th high school reunion is next month, so maybe I’m taking things just a little too hard, but surely some people should think before opening their big fat mouths.

I started my weekend by violating the spirit of the library.
Having finished the sixth book of the Sookie Stackhouse series, I went to our library with a humble goal: to find the seventh. That’s all I needed.
A few months ago, it was simple. If a book wasn’t available, I’d place a hold...

A few people are curious about the naughty home parties I used to do. There are stories to tell, and I want to get to them. This week, however, is a little busy, so today I will just give you a fake blessing I wrote and sent to my...

Since it’s still the weekend, and I believe in being lazy on the weekend, here’s some randomness from my life in no particular order:
