Happy President’s Day!

February 15, 2010

What a great day off! A free day with absolutely no obligations! (Except maybe hitting that mall sale. …)
I posted a little quiz over on Health Bistro today about the presidents. I asked only seven questions, but I bet you can’t answer them! Here are the questions:
Why did people celebrate this day on two different [...]

Where Else I’m Writing These Days

February 13, 2010

It’s been a busy couple weeks of writing. Can I just point you around to some articles and things I’ve written elsewhere? I promise I’ll be recharged and back here again soon. …
On Monday, my article about Denise Austin published at Lifescript: 12 Minutes to a Better Body. She was very nice and a really fun interview. [...]

Who is Your Doppelganger?

February 12, 2010

As some of you may have noticed on Facebook and Twitter, it’s Doppelganger Week (which seems to be evolving into Doppelganger Month!). Users have been changing their profile pictures and avatars to a celebrity who they are often told they look like. I’ve met “Victoria Principal,” “Olivia Newton John,” “Ferris Bueller” (VHS Shawn, for those [...]

Whew!

February 11, 2010

Whew! Busy week!
So sorry I’ve been letting the blog slide. I miss it terribly because I have about 800 billion things I want to write about  — Valentine’s Day, women’s hearts, electronic publishing, teenagers, and the way teens ask each other to Winter Formal, to name a very few. …
So what’s been on your mind [...]

The 2010 Book Club List

February 3, 2010

Yippee! Our new book club list is in!
I always fear I’m not going to get to participate much in my book club, since I really need the time to write/ edit/ and get my own books published, but I’m quite addicted to our club and still try to keep up. (Or sometimes I just go [...]

Why I Shouldn’t Use My Scanner

February 1, 2010

Busy writing weekend. (That’s a big hoo-rah you hear in the background. From me. For that.)
Also a big staring-at-the-scanner-feeling-slightly-confused weekend.
We got a new scanner sometime just before Christmas, and I’ve yet to master it. … Actually, I’ve yet to use it. I guess all the living of life got in the way,which tends to happen [...]

Well, This Can’t Be Good …

January 29, 2010

What is this, you ask?

This, my friends, is my terrible shattering disappointment. I know it looks like a simple broken key ring, but let me explain:
This key ring is the one I got years ago at Weight Watchers when I lost a very cool amount of weight and was feeling a little cocky about myself. [...]

Great Gift for Writers

January 26, 2010

Is this the cutest bracelet you ever did see?

It’s made from actual recycled typewriter keys, each with a smooth silver backing. I got this particular one from JuNxtaposition. The woman who makes them there is named Jeanne, and she’s quite lovely — she e-mailed me to let me know the particular bracelet I wanted was no [...]

A New Blog in the Works. …

January 26, 2010

Guess what? I’m starting another blog!
Yeah, I know — This blogging thing is getting out of hand. I’m blogging all over the place, and getting very little other writing done. And I’m trying to write two novels, and find an agent, a raise a family, and have an actual full-time job. …
But I really, really [...]

Downtown Disney FREEZE!

January 24, 2010

Here are a couple of videos and pictures of the Jan. 23rd Downtown Disney “Freeze.”
Similar to the one in Grand Central Station awhile ago, about 1,000 participants were involved — all “freezing” time at the same moment, and holding their pose for five minutes (while everyone around them stared, bewildered), then “resuming” their action five minutes [...]
