I just returned from two weeks in Cali.  We decided to be more spontaneous than either of us have been in our lives and planned the trip two days before we left.  Gotta say, I didn't miss the snow (even though there wasn't much here), the cold, or the grey blahness that is winter in CNY.  I loved how sunny and warm and springlike it was in Cali.  I ( Read more... )

Things are still pretty crazy around here.  We've still been working hard on things related to my big secret and I was also sick for about two weeks, but I'm starting to feel better and well...  craziness isn't gone yet.  Hopefully only a couple more weeks and we'll get a break before more craziness comes.  But in the meantime, my husband's youtube ( Read more... )

I hope you all had a great Christmas yesterday.  Mine was nice, especially because my husband and I got to take a much needed break from the not-so-fun part of our big secret (which will be revealed once my husband's youtube channel hits 10,000 views).  We just kept everything low key and relaxed.  The most effort I put into anything yesterday was ( Read more... )

Wow, I have really fallen off the face of the earth, haven't I?  I can't believe I haven't posted since Halloween.  Then again, I've been so insanely busy that I haven't had any time to breathe, let alone poke around LJ-land much.  What have I been busy with?  Well, that's a secret.  ;)  No, it's not a publishing or writing-related secret (though, ( Read more... )

In previous years, I've spent the 4-5 days leading up to Thanksgiving in my kitchen, baking up a storm.  As many of you know, I always make my pumpkin pies from scratch.  As in, I take a pumpkin, carve it up, bake it, puree it, then put it in the freezer until it's time to make my pies.  I always have a plethora of frozen pumpkin and in order to ( Read more... )

1.  T finally went back to school today (amid much protest on his part).  Okay, so he's not 100% better, but it's been over 24 hours since his last fever and his cough is significantly better than it was.  This meant that I was finally free to get writing done w/o distractions.  So what happened?  Out of the two hours I had available to sit at the ( Read more... )

 

Over the past year, my husband has been pursuing his dream of being a filmmaker.  It started out as fun little skits he filmed with T last spring and summer.  He used each skit to practice new techniques and started posting them on facebook where they became incredibly popular among our friends and family.  Some people saw his videos and approached ( Read more... )
