I have an hour until I'm being picked up for the great birthday extravaganza planned and executed by the fabulous malkovich03. I've picked up an extra copy of Boneshaker to have signed. I think I'll give it away on my blog. And if they're selling copies of Dreadnought at the bookstore (which I can't imagine why they wouldn't be) I'll buy one and get that ( Read more... )

Oh, look! It's almost that time again! You know, that time where I joyfully celebrate my birthday for at least a week and remind you endlessly to shop early and shop often. Yeah, that time.

Things I've learned about my birthday celebration in San Francisco since yesterday: I'm getting picked up at 2 and I can wear jeans if I so desire. O_o < ( Read more... )

No more hot weather. Please! I can handle mildly warm weather. I can handle the cold. For the love of Pete, I don't want to sweat any more.

Randomly, I went to pick Cole and Hailey up from school today and both of them had after-school activities going on. Huh? I wish I had known that before I went to pick them up.

Awesomely random: malkovich03 is ( Read more... )

Cole has a book report due on Friday and there's no way he's going to be able to get the book he's doing it on read between now and then. Part of this is my fault because I talked him into the book and I think it's a little more than his poor brain can handle. The book? The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King ( Read more... )

Holy crap! I almost forgot to journal today. I ... don't even understand. I don't get it. What? It must have been that Mike's Hard Lemonade. Funny story, I grabbed 2 Mike's earlier and drank one while I was reading and when I went to open the second one I totally couldn't get the cap off. I figure it was the Gods of Drunken Tweeting telling ( Read more... )

I am officially sick of the heat. This shouldn't be a revelation, really, since I much prefer the cooler weather to the hot, but ... dammit, I've had enough. I might be the only person who lives in California who doesn't like summer, but there you have it. Summer, blech. Heat, blah. Give me rainy days and warm sweaters over sticky heat any day ( Read more... )

I am so behind on updating my books read. Like, ridiculously so. I meant to do it yesterday but time kinda got away from me. Oops.

So this will be post #1 for the evening. The books post (plus, book related things).

Thing #1 - Today is Cherie Priest's (cmpriest) birthday. She would be the author of the incredible Boneshaker novel, which was (HANDS ( Read more... )

It's a crazy birthday day!
Happy Birthday, Hailey Bug!
And Happy Birthday to my sister Tracy!
And Happy Birthday to oddmonster!I did not get spit up on today. You might be thinking that this isn't something that one needs to announce but you'd be wrong. Baby Ryan gets so excited when he sees me that he spontaneously barfs on me. Every time. Instead, he ( Read more... )

Ohmigod! Guys, I almost don't know where to start with this post because I have SUCH AWESOME THINGS TO BLOG ABOUT! To the journal, posthaste ( Read more... )

My sister is over getting ready for Hailey's birthday party. My sister's good at planning these sort of things for the most part but every once in a while something like this happens ( Read more... )
