Yeah, this one’s totally on me — the girl in the first row, on the elliptical machine by the window. My fault entirely. I take full responsibility. Yes, the second you leave me alone in the room, I will turn down your gawd-awful Today Show until I can’t hear it over my iPod, and I will turn off the…

I went to bed with a migraine last night and woke up with it this morning–to say I’m feeling decidedly out of sorts is an understatement. While I hobble like an old woman through my daily chores and decide which fairy tale to read for tomorrow that won’t kill my brain, I thought I’d share with you one of…

In catching up on things that never got finished during the holidays, I was going through some Christmas photos and came across this: It just begs for a caption contest, doesn’t it?

I passed The FairyGodBoyfriend in the bathroom yesterday. I was leaving and he was coming in to take a shower. I patted him on the bum and said, “God, I love your butt” before taking my leave. I promptly started picking up the bedroom and collecting laundry, which is a good thing to do when Joe is not present….

My thanks to Timothy Bradley, who posted this link on Facebook for me. How can you go wrong with a bunny in a cape and tiara? This is going to be a fantastic year for everyone! (Okay…I can’t seem to get the embedded player to work. Click here to watch: The Year of the Princess Rabbit) * If you’re…

I heard there was more bad weather in our future, so I went out yesterday and risked borderline frostbite to dig my car out of the igloo it was already in, before it froze over and I had to hire a jackhammer to extract it. I got it moved, the snow plow guy came and bulldozed my space free…

The monthly Washington Romance Writers meeting is today. I’ve had it on my calendar and kept the forum digest in my Inbox so I don’t forget the wheres and whens — from 10:00 to 3pm today we will be discussing Jane Austen’s Persuasion. I assumed that in the five allotted hours we’d be watching a version of the film…
