Thirteen Signs Romance Divas is Still Down

1. I wrote 50 pages in the last two days. Wow. Amazing what happens when your major procrastination tool is gone.
2. In our nightly pow wow, Crys and I usually discuss the newest forum gossip, but tonight we were forced to discuss fat chic porn. Don’t ask. Don’t ask tell.
3. I have finger-cramp from hitting [...]

Writing During the Holidays?

Yeah, it’s that time of year again. Impending doom err, Christmas, within two weeks, and all sorts of stuff to organize and get done. Like, oh, mail out the pressies. (YIKES. >_<)
Some people get into holiday activities more than others, and there’s always those who just say “No” to Christmas (Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Yule, Midwinter, <insert [...]

Revisiting my favorite show-random post

Once-usually twice a year I start thinking about having a little dvd marathon of my favorite show. The show that I was obsessed with, in love with ALL the characters-the dialogue, the storyline. This is the kind of show that lends itself perfectly to romance. The Heroes are flawed but salvageable, the bad guys are [...]

So, I’m stealthily posting from work right now because my internet is down at home. *sob* But I’m hoping it’s fixed soon! Anyhoo, here’s a fun holiday quiz for you about grinches.

…and a happy new year

Yeah, I know, I’m early. I’m early for everything this time of year. Usually my Christmas gifts are wrapped on Halloween. (I have an ‘early December kid’, so when I was pregnant with him, I did things early..and it stuck.)
So I’m already thinking…obsessing…over the new year.
Talking with my CP this morning, I realised I’ve angsted [...]

Are we done yet?

Can I just say this is not my favorite time of the year? The stores are crazy, my kids are crazy, and I’m cold. I really really hate being cold. (Yes, Crys, I know I’m gonna be cold in SF next summer.) Usually all I do in December is to try to survive the madness. [...]

One of my secret addictions

I love Christmas movies.
I do. Every cheesy Hallmark moment. Just love them.
Miracle on 34th street-the original with Natalie Wood and Maureen O’Hara.
White Christmas with Crosby and Kaye.
I loved It’s a Wonderful Life so much that my mother got me one of the movie posters one year and I had it framed and hanging on my [...]

Menorah Funny

I was thinking for the next few weeks I’d do pics or cartoons for the various December/Winter holidays. Starting with Hanukkah.

Go “Elf” Yourself!!!

It’s Christmas time. Whoohoo! For me this means holiday vacation. Two glorious weeks of holiday fun with my kids and NO WORK!! I can’t wait. But ask me if I have any decorations up yet. Nope! Nadda! My neighbor next door and two of my neighbors across the street all had decoracations up before Thanksgiving. [...]
