I am taking an axe to my hair. Well, I’m actually going to find a stylist to take scissors to it, but the end result shall be about a foot and a half of black hair on the salon floor. I’ve had the same hair for about two years now, which is some kind of record for me. I’m ready … Read More
The Best Part of Marrying Young…
…is that you get to grow up together. We met when I was barely 20 years old. He was 21, and had been back in America for two weeks after living in the Baltics for the last couple of years. He spoke Russian and sometimes had to search in order to find the correct word in English. I fell … Read More
In Which I Discover, To My Horror, That I Don’t Read Books
In January I decided that I wanted to read a book a week. It shouldn’t be a difficult thing. After all, I live to read. I can knock a book out fairly quickly. And what author won’t improve their craft by reading, says I? So 52 books in a year it was. Well, December is here and my book count is … Read More
The Remix. Or, With Just A Little Help From My Friends
You all know that KM Walton is pretty much my hero. Tenacious, savvy, and extremely deserving of her success. Most of you also know that I lost a challenge to her and so I wrote her a song. Did you know that song has a remix? Well, it does. Thank you, Mason. The world would weep without you. Enjoy.

RIP Ruby Woo
Brothers and Sisters, we have gathered together this day to celebrate the passing of the illustrious Ruby Woo red lipstick. Alas, we hardly knew ye. But Tiny Daughter, the floor, wall, and mirror apparently knew ye quite well. Rest in peace.
“Stalk Me,” She Says. Well, Okay!
She’s 32 years old, 5’6″, and has what she calls a “mexi-fro”. She’s also gorgeous as all get out and swears like a sailor. Her daughter is dating an older man. (He’s five.) She wrote reviews for baby gooroo and is frustrated at not being able to lose the baby weight. Her husband has Celiac Disease and they also keep her … Read More
Is It Snowing?!
Yes, yes it is. On my blog, anyway. Las Vegas is a different story. I just went outside wearing a light jacket. Here we’re forced to build snowmen out of old liquor receipts and cocaine. Or, in the case of my family, cotton balls and powdered sugar. We’re very PG. Happy December, everybody! 😀
Organizing Your Time and (Writing) Life
We are constantly busy. Insanely busy. I suppose that I’d rather be busy than bored, but sometimes it becomes overwhelming. I can’t tell you how many times my husband has found me hiding under a blanket because I just need five minutes to regroup. But I’ve finally figured out a schedule that works for me. Writing comes with its own … Read More
