I received a surprising number of questions regarding my hair. I’ve addressed it on Facebook, but a lot of people don’t use it. I color my hair because I’m going grey. A lot of people look lovely with grey hair. I’m not one of them. I’ve tried to grow it out and it is terrible

If You Can’t Win, Bribe
Last night, in the middle of the tornado warning alert and our phones and our alarm system screaming in unison that a tornado is imminent: Gordon: Is that a tornado siren of a flash flood siren? Me: Who knows? Kid 2. Kid 2 knows. They used to just do sirens for the tornados, but now

Name That Street
Before anything else: MAGIC TRIUMPHS is out from Graphic Audio today. Yay! Gordon’s surgery went well. We got home safe yesterday and today he is in the home gym, working the shoulder as the doctor instructed. The doctor was pleased and saw no additional need to do anything beyond the expected scope of the surgery.

Dishhhwashhher
The trouble with the dishwasher started as soon as we came back from vacation. After we got home, I marinated some chicken, and ended up with a load of dishes that had a big glass marinading dish in it. I start the dishwasher. It gets through part of the cycle. I come back to the

Back to Life, Back to Reality and Book Recommendation
The vacation was amazing. The air was 80F. The ocean was 80F. The pools were great. The room was spectacular. The food was delicious. The drinks were to die for. We went on a date to this restaurant that was technically part of the resort but set outside of the grounds, by a busy street.

Snow on Tuesday
We have snow! Only an inch or so, but still snow. The animals are horrified and excited. We got the semi-feral cat inside, and she is being very persistent about getting pets. If only she didn’t go to war any time she sees the other cats, we would be in business. So far the grid

The Irony
On the phone with Jeaniene Frost Me: I haven’t done anything for a whole week. J: I hear you. Dragoncon was a lot. Me: I might take the next week off too. J: This is so unlike you. I’m starting the new project next week. Me: But why? J: List of reasons that make sense.

Yarn Love: Expect the Unexpected
Gordon collects action figures. (Please don’t send him any. He already has pretty much everything.) When a new package arrives to the house, he almost always informs me that the purchase is a “preorder.” As in, it wasn’t a recent splurge, but something that was paid for long ago. I don’t care if it’s preorder

Closet Questions
This weekend I bit the proverbial bullet and tackled my closet. I hadn’t cleaned my closet in 5 years. It doesn’t seen to bad until you consider that when we moved, I simply transferred the hangers from one house to the other. Some of my clothes were so old, they could’ve gotten their own driver

Tea and Hammering
::taking a figurative hammer and hitting the holiday project:: Get! Into! Shape! I should do that to myself. I haven’t worked out in 2 weeks. I haven’t walked either. It is super crappy. It’s like Portland, Oregon weather over here, grey and dull and depressing. We mostly have two seasons: awful heat and gloom. We
