Summer is a'comin'!!
After nearly a week of being sick after sharing the Dude's flu bug (thank you SO MUCH, dear), I am finally feeling up to living again. As I've been focusing on sleeping and getting well a number of other things have gone to the wayside (namely, laundry and housekeep and writing) so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Fortunately Dude is also ( Read more... ) -
I heart the pretty
Totally over the top and SO awesome!! I don't even mind the blatant product advertisement (an artist has to pay for their art somehow right?). ;)

If life is a highway, I'm stuck at the backwoods truck stop
The chiropractor says I need to rest my back for a few more days but can return to work as soon as I'm ready. I've never been one to really enjoy sick leave, it feels like I'm cheating even when I desperately need it (and after last week's ouchies, I did need it) so I'll be happy when I restart ( Read more... ) -

Movies that make you go "Hmmm...."
So I finally went to see "The Hunger Games". I'd wanted to wait until the crowds were gone so I wouldn't get a mob mentality in there. A personal thing I guess, I wanted to experience it, not observe the reactions of the people around me ( Read more... ) -
Humor and smashing goals FTW
jimhines posted an amusing ditty that I'll be singing through today. If you know the songs from Disney's "Beauty And The Beast" and have noticed the trend of authors pushing their books on you via Twitter, Facebook etc, you'll find this amusing ( Read more... ) -
A rough Monday...
We all know Mondays are tough to get through, but today seems more difficult than usual. Maybe it was because I had such a nice weekend; the Dude rarely has 2 days off in a row so it was really awesome to hang out with him for longer than an hour. Plus I now have my new project (the motorcycle) to work on, and ideas are spinning in my head for this ( Read more... )
