In the Sky With Diamonds
I know I've been posting only about cats lately on social media. There hasn't been much writing going on here. Still in mourning. But...BUT... I have started the process to adopt a kitten! She's a tabby who looks a lot like Chester, but the eyes are totally different (Chester's were green; Kitten's are yellow.) And… Continue reading In the Sky With Diamonds
Status: Mourning
Sorry I've been quiet here. Over the span of one week, I've had two cats die. The house is so quiet now, not an animal within petting distance. I've never been without a cat. Chester and Edwina were both wonderful cats. Chester was my graduation present back in '03. He helped me through the roughest… Continue reading Status: Mourning
Seasons Greetings!

Nothing to Say
I don't really have much to say this week, other than typing with a bandage on your left index finger is a real pain in the neck. Grr. Oh, and... In a Pickle is on sale for 99 cents for the rest of the year! So, yeah, if you're gifted an Amazon gift card for… Continue reading Nothing to Say
2016 – A Year in Review
Just kidding. I wouldn't do that to you. This year has been so awful, I'd be laughing if I weren't crying. But let me list some positive things that have happened so far. This might be a very short list... My nephew was born healthy and without complications I read thirty-six books, the most I've… Continue reading 2016 – A Year in Review

Julia Child and Me
If you haven't seen Julie and Julia, it's a great movie, well worth the time--and $--to rent and watch. Or buy. I suggest buy, because, as stated, this movie is fabulous. I mean, come on: food, Julia Child, cooking, writing, FOOD--you'll gain weight watching this movie...what's not to love? (Well, besides the weight-gaining part, but… Continue reading Julia Child and Me
Fruit Basket Upset
It's been over two weeks since I've blogged?! Ye gads! I have one exciting update: I've decided to self-publish a humor/novelty book that I've written 😀 More details to come! (On a related note: If anyone knows of a good editor with reasonable prices, whom I can pay by check or Visa gift card, let… Continue reading Fruit Basket Upset
By the Spread of the Table
I attended a creative writing workshop this past Wednesday, and this poem came over me after staring at a rather morbid picture prompt: By the spread of the table And the thorn on my chair The clawing of conscience I do not dare Partake of this grisly feast, This ghoulish delight; To say that… Continue reading By the Spread of the Table
