[Personal] Story Time
TL:DR — There are not blogs this week. Next week is a bit iffy. I’m having a medical procedure scheduled on Tuesday, the 14th, if the COVID test comes back negative. The Longer Version: In the realm of TMI, I (like 50% of American Women) have benign uterine fibroid tumors. I have 2 that are […]
[Writer Post] AFK
The last week has been rough. I’ve been away from the keyboard as much as possible. Some of it has been okay – Jimmy’s best friend was in town from Colorado. Then my Day Job came crashing down around our heads. As all of you know from either my social media or, say, the national/international […]
[Spotlight Post] Diamond Dog
There’s not going to be a pen review today. I’ll try to get one in tomorrow or Wednesday, but not today. Today we said goodbye to one of our dogs. Diamond has gone over the Rainbow Bridge. We didn’t want to do it, but it was the responsible thing to do. Last week she was […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Jimmy’s Pentel Pencil Collection
Merry Christmas Week. We are as ready as we’re going to be. And as it’s Christmas Week, I’m going to do something a bit different. As I’ve mentioned in the past, Jimmy’s not only supportive of my pen blog, he can be something of an enabler. He also has a weakness of his own… he’s […]
[Writing Post] Life, Swag, and Other Things
Today is supposed to be a writing post, but honestly – that’s not really going to happen. It’s been an… eventful…week, and it’s actually ramping up. I continued my word count progress – it may be small but it’s growing – around the North Texas Comic Book Show (managed to do a bit of editing […]
[Spotlight Post] Shannon Hopps – Long Live the Queen
I mentioned on Wednesday that this weekend was going to be bittersweet for me – alas, for many of us. When the final cannon blows on Monday, May 27th, not only will it herald the end of the 33rd Season of Scarborough Renaissance festival – it will also be the end of Anne Boleyn. Shannon […]
[Spotlight Post] Apologies
I really did mean to do a Spotlight post on Friday. I did. I even started putting one together about Ruth Thompson – which I will finish and post…promise. But my Day Job is trying to kill me. Ruth’s husband, Alwyn (if that really is his real name and he’s not an actor sent to […]
[Bonus Post] Happy Birthday Theo Gisel – Dr. Seuss
I actually wrote this for a work blog – but it wasn’t right for the work blog. But that doesn’t mean it has to go to waste… Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!!! Dr. Seuss was a poet writer Whose books and stories would rhyme In tones that were lighter To teach kids how to climb Higher […]
[Spotlight Post] Thanksgiving 2012 Edition
I’m cheating on this week’s Spotlight post. Since it’s the day after Thanksgiving and my Wednesday post was a rant, I’m going to spotlight what I’m thankful for this year – and well, all the time. First of all, I’m thankful for a supportive family who has suck by me in my employment challenges of […]
[Spotlight Post] Marilyn Eudaly – Rising Talent and Birthday Girl
So Friday is spotlight day. And after a week of hectic running around, housecleaning, family birthdays–with one still to go which means I have to keep the house clean until Monday–and it’s a gray, gloomy day before a 3-day weekend. I admit to being a bit at a loss of who or what to spotlight. […]
