Hey, guess what? I’ve got something to tell you… I received a small box of small books. Really pretty books with a cute swoony redhead on the cover. And also on the cover? My name. Right down there in the lower right corner. And I discovered something about myself, about how I work. Something about

Justifying the Lazy

Once upon a time*, Husband made great hamburgers for dinner**. Yum. I prefer mine bunless (saving my calories for buttered popcorn, you know) and I finished first. So like a polite and well-adjusted person I went to rinse and stack my plate. But. I managed to kick Husband’s chair*** and say only “owie-owie,” as opposed

How Publishing Is Like Giving Birth. And Also Not.

Uncap the Pen

Just do it, I tell myself. Open the notebook. Scratch out the words. Sit down at the desk. Let fingers find keys. A dozen words. A hundred. A thousand. Uncover the characters. Discover voices.

Bring Home the Turtle

Here’s photographic proof of the Pet Solution. You can’t really tell, but this is my big pasta serving bowl. Grande. And so is the turtle. So one more round of applause to Kid 2’s brilliance. (clap, clap, clap) Also, this reminds Husband of that part in the great movie “Cinderella Man” when Russell Crowe’s character

The Pet Solution

My brilliant and lovely Kid 2 to the rescue, petwise. She found Kid 4 a turtle that carries no salmonella (until he bathes it in egg – we hope that doesn’t happen soon) and is virtually stink-free. Also, it doesn’t die if you forget to feed it. Introducing the grow-in-water pet turtle. (Okay, I can’t
