I just dropped a bookcase down the stairs.
I have this thing about moving everything myself. Probably a single mother thing. Don’t need no stinkin’ man to help me. So I’ve been doing great, I even moved my weight machine by myself and only took out some duct work and the top of [...]

I’m THIS close to finishing D&G but my guilt over Argh is getting in my way. I’ll stop and read the comments later, but for right now . . .
Picture of the Red Thing:

See? Huge anti-climax. But the pleats are wonderful.

And I love the detail on the back.
Back of the [...]

I knew I should never have left you alone this long. You plot.
I’ll take a picture of the red thing tomorrow, in between trying to finish D&G and answering my contractor’s questions (there are ten million little things that need done here and he’s trying to do them all before he starts a big [...]

I’m writing a ghost story. I’ve never done that before. That means I need to know about ghosts (researching that has been fun) and beyond that, I need to know how to write scary. Not gross-out, not horror so awful you have nightmares for weeks, but good, solid, classy, supernatural, scare-you-enough-to-make-you-think story-telling. [...]

The snow melted. I went to the airport and picked up Bob and took him to iHop where I ate everything on the menu since I’d been living on nosh food while I finished up my part of Dogs and Goddesses. Then we went home and Bob did not bond with Milton although [...]

We got slammed again and the dogs love it. I’m praying that it melts before Tuesday afternoon when I have to pick up somebody at the airport. It’s supposed to be 46 then. Fingers crossed.

Well, southern Ohio got hit with a load of snow–Krissie in Vermont is sneering–and I’m trapped in my house again. I freaked because I had to get out to go north to the Ohio Valley Romance Writers meeting tomorrow (Saturday), but then the brilliant Amy Foley e-mailed and said, “Six to twelve inches, let’s [...]

You should be very proud.
Adoramilt: Love of Milton
Adosweptation: Love for a man who not only sweeps you off your feet but also sweeps and vacs the house on his day off (Ro)
Affecthilation: Affection for annihilation, mystery readers and writers in particular (Wendy)
Affiction: Love for a great book idea

I found this on an astrology post at the Village Voice by Rob Brezsny (go down to the Virgo entry):
“The Eskimos had 52 names for snow because it was important to them,” wrote novelist Margaret Atwood. “There ought to be as many for love.” Your assignment, as Brezsny suggested, is to [...]

Lani just e-mailed Krissie and me and said that she’d heard “My loves grows where my Rosemary goes” yesterday and now she can’t get out of her head.
Krissie e-mailed back with “It’s a Small World After All.”
So I sent them the lyrics to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” That chorus is a [...]
