Last year as soon as Halloween was through I hunkered down in front of my computer and did the unthinkable. The unbelievable. The completely unreasonable. I wrote a novel from start to finish in the month of November. Actually I finished one day early and that one day early... it was the only thing that … Continue reading questioning my sanity

bloggy inservice day?
My daughter is home from school today for a teacher inservice day. Do you know what this means? It means I can turn off my alarm clock. No alarm clock... as a matter of fact hold on a moment will you, I'm going to reach over and pick that little green wobbling clock up off … Continue reading bloggy inservice day?
a family
Tonight after Mike got home from work I got to go out. I got to leave the house. Those of you not held captive by a small child 24 hours a day might not get the significance of that so let me repeat it for you: I got to go out with no kid on … Continue reading a family
why the bathroom smells like wet cat…
It was Friday, just afternoon. I'd spent the morning volunteering at school and had to head back at 1pm but I needed a few moments for me. I'd already had a bite to eat and wasted some time on twitter so I was at a bit of a loss. I stretched my arms and back … Continue reading why the bathroom smells like wet cat…

15 hours… what I learned at WordCamPDX
Aside from the reaffirmation that the Portland Tech scene is all love and rainbows and pretty ponies I learned a thing or two at WordCamPDX.

15 hours… my touchy feely post about WordCamPDX
I woke up at the completely indecent hour of 5:30 AM... Okay that's a lie, I was supposed to wake up at 5:30 but really I didn't wake up til closer to 6 in the morning to drag my snoozey self out of bed. I'd been up all night (til 1, maybe 1:30) and I … Continue reading 15 hours… my touchy feely post about WordCamPDX
shiny and new…
There's nothing quite like a new header to make a girl feel extra sassy. It may seem silly to you but new header days are like clean sheet day to the 100th degree. It's like having a great new bra & matching panties x20. Like your first kiss with a lover. Yeah, new header days … Continue reading shiny and new…
