BBQ, Picasso and Prince Charles

When we lived in the suburbs, I kind of dreaded long weekends, especially long weekends when I wasn’t working on a deadline. (When I’m on deadline, there are no such things as long weekends, or even weekends in general!) The place where we lived would become like a ghost town. Everyone who either ha

A List

I’ve finally been having some sustained success in journaling! And all it took was (1) making my son write in a journal every night as part of his homeschool curriculum (2) which he absolutely refused to do unless I journaled right along beside him (3) so I sat down reluctantly that very first night

That Whole “Time Flies” Thing, Writing Mojo, and Stephen King

So now that I’m doing the big city living thing, I’ve been discovering something interesting: time flies when you’re doing nothing more than going through your day. That sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it? I mean, time flew for me back in the suburbs, too. But it’s a very different feeling in my new “

The “I Want To Do It All” Syndrome

Last night I finished up a work deadline with a huge sigh of relief and anticipation – relief, because I’ve been busier than normal for this time of year this past month and anticipation because my next deadline isn’t until May (celebration time!). But this morning I found myself doing some navel-ga

Darth Vader and Son Book Trailer!

So I was reading feeds on Google Reader this morning (aka The New Morning Ritual, And Yes, One That Has Somewhat Replaced Meditation, Much to My Dismay) and I came across this post on author Jeffrey Brown’s blog announcing the trailer for his upcoming book, Darth Vader and Son. Doesn’t Darth Vader a

My Top Ten Guilty Pleasures

I’m on a campaign to strip the guilt out of all my guilty pleasures. Needless to say, it’s not easy going (have you noticed, we humans seem to be hardwired for guilt?). But in the meantime, I thought I’d share my top ten guilty pleasures with you. You probably won’t be surprised that my list [...]

Review: A Study in Sherlock, edited by Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I began reading A Study in Sherlock. The tagline is “stories inspired by the Holmes Canon”, so I was thinking the stories would be about Sherlock Holmes. Which would have been fine. It’s been a while since I read one of the original Holmes stories, but I quite [...]

Eating Well, the Pinterest Way

Pinterest has really changed the way we eat around here. Now that it’s so handy – and visually appealing! – for me to bookmark a recipe, I’m not just reading through various food blogs and occasionally hollering to Ward (wherever he might be), “What do you think about this dish?”. No, not at all. No

Some Wednesday Random

It’s Wednesday, and I can’t think of a thing to blog about – so I’m falling back on the old tried and true. Random! I’m a Happy Information Junkie This Week. I finally figured out a way to keep an eye on all the links and fun things I find interesting online, without feeling information [...] Rela

DIY Planner Update: The Everything Book = Planner UN-FAIL?

I was doing so well with my DIY planner. I really, really was. And then the flu hit our household. I suddenly found myself three weeks behind. And since my planner is a DIY one, this meant totally blank pages in my Moleskine. Because, you see, the planner-plan-of-attack requires me to create a new w
