Why I look odd: It is full-on spring here, a few days early, and I’ve got the allergies to prove it–my eyes are all pink and itchy. Fifteen years ago, I got really sick with a horrible, unidentified virus that resulted in hives, and ever since then I struggle with over-active histamines. This year even my […]
Another Friday rolls around and here’s a look at the week… What I’m Learning: More is more. Of course, some might say this has been my motto all my life. Sigh. But what I mean is that sometimes it is easier to do more than less. Like more writing. I know, I hear you groaning. […]
How about that title? Clever, huh? Marching into spring…and it’s March this week….I know, you are way ahead of me, you got it on first read. Anyway. It truly is spring here, with daffodils and crocus and daphne popping out all over, along with my favorites, the pink plum trees. We’ve had some lovely warm […]
There’s a lot going on, so let’s get right to it. What I’m Happy About: I finished the rewrite! Woot! I submitted it to my agent and she will soon submit it to an editor who is interested. Think good thoughts for me, please. What I’m Reading: A little of this, a little of that. […]
Not much going on here but a whole lot of rewriting, about which I hope to have a post soon. What I’m Watching: Madame Secretary (created by Barbara Hall, who seems to be a creative machine, and oh hey, we share a birthday) and American Idol. I know, dorky. But it is the last season. […]
Well, actually, the rain never really left for long, but we have had a couple of lovely dry, warm days that have felt like spring is not far off. And they were accompanied by birds singing! That’s the best. But this morning it is soggy again. But I don’t mind, I really like all kinds […]
Where has this month gone? I keep telling my husband we’ll blink and be sitting outside on the deck for Happy Hour. It is almost warm enough today to do that, and I’m so sorry for those of you buried–or about to be–under snow. Actually, I’m kinda jealous. At any rate, here are my Friday […]
After an absence of, oh a couple weeks, here I am, back with another Five on Friday. That is if I can find the notes I wrote once I got inspired about this post. Ah, here we are. I’ve got piles of papers all over my office because I’m organizing things for the new year. […]
Took awhile for it to register that it is actually Friday the 13th. I always choose to think of it as lucky day, but today has been anything but. The attacks in Paris destroy me and now there’s been an earthquake off the coast of Japan. But I guess the rest of us have to […]
Hola! Its a beautiful Friday afternoon in Portland, Oregon, and I am posting the very first post on my new blog. Well, its not exactly new–just the design and the host (WordPress instead of Typepad). So, there’s a bit of a learning curve here and I’ll be playing around the next few weeks. But seeing […]
