Time flies! I can’t believe it’s been almost four months since I posted here at the Little Blog. When Judy asked me to fill in for her while she’s in Alaska at Bouchercon (hope you’re having a blast, Judy!), I found myself wondering what to talk about.
My writing? After all, I’ve started a new [...]

I hate making decisions. It’s one of the reasons I procrastinate so badly. Part of me hopes that if I wait long enough, any pressing decision will be decided for me.
I know. I should see a therapist.
But I digress.
I’ve been making hard decisions lately. About lots of things. And one of the decisions I ultimately [...]

I’m a little outraged. I don’t get this way often, but this particular feeling has been with me a couple of weeks now, and I’m not sure what to do about it.
Here’s what happened:
My kids and I were watching T.V. one afternoon, and I was flipping channels (I rarely give up control of the remote). [...]

I went to a chick flick movie yesterday.
That’s not so surprising. Well, I suppose it might be considering the last time I saw a movie at the theater was last summer. But I digress…
What was really surprising was that I went to the movie with my daughter.
It hits hard that she’s getting old [...]

I’m taking a personal day.
I love the concept. It’s like a Get out of Jail Free Card, except for life.

Let’s have a little fun this week. The above title is a lyric from Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like a Wolf.” Awful, isn’t it? I mean, really. Ugh.
The list of terrible lyrics is endless. I’m just going to name a few of my personal faves, and I hope you all will jump in with what makes [...]

The Grim Reaper of the plant world came to play.
My family trekked down to Florida last week for a little fun in the sun. Although it wasn’t as hot, at 70°, as I would have liked it, it was better than being home, where it was a chilly 25°.
Down in Florida, all the plants were [...]

I’m a lyrics girl. It’s probably why my tastes in music are so varied. I love a good story set to music, whether it’s an oldies song, rock or country. One of my favorite oldies’ songs is “Brandy,” the tale of a girl who loves a guy but can’t have him because he’s married to [...]
