Adverbally Endowed
I waited impatiently all week for my husband to say something incredibly sweet or laughingly stupid, so I’d have a really good topic for my blog, but he stubbornly refused to be sufficiently amusing. So I had nothing. Except… I do have the overly adverbed sentence above. Yes, I confess. I am an adverb addict. …
Calendar Girl
It’s December. That means it’s time to shop for a new calendar. The calendars above are my work calendars from the last four years. You may have noticed that there are six calendars. In four years. I am incredibly picky when it comes to calendars. If I buy one and it doesn’t work out, I …

I am actually very happy to have received it, because it means that other bloggers like what I write. And that is amazing. In …
Just My Imagination
Every once in a while I wish I could think like a man. Because I’d really like to know what the heck my husband could possibly be thinking. So I decided to give it a try. Here’s an incident from a few years ago, told from what may be my husband’s point of view. I’ve …
Pen Pals – Facebook Style
I am friends with a famous author. Facebook friends. This is not just a case where I clicked ‘Liked’ and now I get posts about the next novel in process or book signing appearance. I do have some celebrity Facebook friends like that. And I kind of like these famous people sharing little snippets with …
