Wind is blowing and blowing through the house and it feels so nice. The kitchen is SO warm, I guess from two computers and the refrigerator. Anyway, it's much nicer in the living room with the blowing curtains. Maybe the thunder storm is coming! I can't wait for a good thunder storm; I hope it happens after Husband and I get home from teaching ( Read more... )

Morning activities
I'm still in bed. Husband brought me coffee, orange juice, and cinnamon sugar toast. I'm not even sick; I'm just a lucky wife :)

I read some more of "Bird by Bird", and am alternating between working on my short story and browsing through online things. I'm also listening to Philip Glass; WOW, I forgot how much I actually enjoyed ( Read more... )

Snow
The snow is all melting, and yet they are calling for another 2 to 4 inches tonight.  *Fingers crossed* I LOVE snow!  Now, if I was commuting like I was last year, I would have a different opinion.

Squirrels
There are a few squirrels that have been playing in the back yard and on our roof ... and in our attic ... all day. Since breakfast time. ( Read more... )

I've somehow managed to be accomplished today, even though it felt sort of wandery ( Read more... )

It is gray and foggy and drippy and windy outside, but I am safe and warm inside! Especially since I just had my oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins, and my coffee ( Read more... )

It's going to be weird being at home again, but I'm so so excited to sleep in our bed again. No sleeping bag, but regular clean sheets and a comfy mattress ( Read more... )

We are in Berkely, CA!  So practically in San Francisco, which we walked through a little bit yesterday with M, who has been so kind as to let us stay at her place.  I like this place so far; it's sunny and pretty clean and there aren't too many weird lurking people overall ( Read more... )

I just ate 1/3 of a box of graham crackers. Literally. I opened the plastic pack and ate all the crackers inside. I haven't binged for ages and I'm just starving!  I drank a coffee around 7:00, and I feel like that shouldn't stop me from going to bed at 10:00 ... but it did.  I read "Gone With the Wind" for 45 minutes or so, tried to sleep, and now ( Read more... )

How could I not have thought to post here sooner?  Mind Sprocket's book "Documenting the Unseen" has been published and is available to order.

It can be ordered from here.

Inside:  short stories, poetry, interviews, illustrations, etc.  It's got a little bit of everything for everybody  :)

After posting poetry and short stories online for months and ( Read more... )

I am in bed, preparing to read "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman.  I've been putting it aside in favor of Harry Potter (which, by the way, I've finally finished).

Everyone I've heard mention this book has raved about it.  So far, I'm not very impressed.  The concept is intereseting, but it's the kind of thing that you could sum up in a ( Read more... )
