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…
Due to…well…life, the Kontis Clan didn’t get to have Christmas until this week. We were all too excited to wait until Three King’s Day (today), so we opened the massive amount of presents (pics to come) and had a lobster feast before playing Cranium so loudly we kept the neighbors up (payback for their annoying dog). Once upon a…
It was a gorgeous day, too gorgeous to experience in the confines of a car. I rolled the window down part way…and then rethought my decision after immediately experiencing the wind and the noise that resulted. Defeated, I rolled the window back up…and learned something new. Fairy GodBoyfriend: Did you fart? Princess: Excuse me? FGB: Did you fart? Princess:…
As Murphy’s punishment for staying off the internet yesterday and cleaning the house (like the Fairy Goddaughters’ rooms weren’t punishment enough), I missed a couple of Fascinating New Things: 1.) There’s a new Llamas with Hats episode. I’m guessing I was probably the only one who didn’t Tweet about it, but here’s the link in case you missed it….
Here it is, in all its glory (unfortunately, it’s not very bright in the bedroom…I should have taken the picture before we moved it)
After their Werewolves and Shape Shifters: Encounters with the Beasts Within giveaway, I was asked to do a lovely guest interview over at The Qwillery. I was given some great questions, and I had a chance to open up and answer them from the bottom of my heart. I was so far down in the bottom of my heart,…
My family has this thing about Christmas. It’s kind of a big deal. Pretty early on — right about nowish — we start making plans about who’s going where. Mom also starts asking around about Christmas lists. I learned early on — right about when I started making the Happy Holiday CDs — to just stick a post-it note…
Another gem of a website brought to my attention by Google: AlphaOops: H is for Halloween has been mentioned on Anthea Bailie’s “Fishing for Anthea” site. Her blog is a list of children’s books that she has enjoyed (or not) and recommends to readers. The books are tagged for age level and other characteristics that make the site a…
I hate waiting. –Inigo Montoya ********************** I have some really really really super fantastic terrific news that I can’t share yet. I have to wait for someone else to spill the beans first. COME ON, BEANS!!!!!!!! *taps foot* Wanna guess while we’re waiting?
As a girl raised in the south with an Anglophile grandmother, I can’t help but be a tea drinker. I lean heavily toward black teas (Red Rose) and really enjoy a slight citrus infusion (Lady Grey). Sometimes I splurge and have the occasional Chai or Jasmine. I’m a creature of habit, so if it’s not Constant Comment or one…
