Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
Whooboy! I think I’ve finally gotten a breather. My house is clean, my family’s illness has reduced to the occasional sniffle and cough, and my husband fixed the leak beneath the bathroom sink that was threatening to flood our downstairs. Life is good. The signing last Thursday was fantastic. I met a few new people,…
Thank you all for the condolences for my cousin. Chris’s funeral was last Saturday, but I unfortunately couldn’t attend. Snow dumped its baggage on my doorstep just a couple of days before my anticipated 280 mile drive. Rather than risk the roads, I sent my love from afar via phone call. Beyond my phone call…
Have you ever had so much you wanted to say that you didn’t know where to start? I’m at that point. Like in everyone else’s life, I’ve had a lot going on offline. I’m rocking NaNo! Up to 27K, and I have a clean house, fed children, and a non-neglected husband. My mood has suffered…
With all of the commotion going on at the Town’s End lately, I haven’t been taking much in the way of pretty photos. So you get some fun ones instead. I wanted to participate in the shelfie hop that I’ve seen on a few blogs. But due to the combination of me being strapped for…
Thank you for all the well-wishes last week. My mom had knee surgery last Friday, and returned home Monday after over a week in the hospital. I took a trip to the other side of the state to visit her this last weekend. She’s doing well, enjoyed seeing the grandbabies, and is now under the…
Today, the Internet remembers Tina Downey. She was a bright spirit with the motto “Life is Good,” and she left us far too early. I didn’t meet her until this past April, when I participated in the A-to-Z Challenge. Even in that short time, I was amazed by her upbeat attitude in the midst of…
It’s been a rough time at the Town’s End. I’d planned on doing a nice little write up about my WIPs, but—as plans often do—they fell through. Heck, I even missed Featured Photo Friday. My daughter picked up a cold at either daycare or preschool over a week and a half ago, and brought it…
Is it really here? A new year? Geez. Where did 2013 go? Time rushes past—a blur of memories. I think something happened this past year. Oh yes, quite a lot. I might have fried some brain circuits trying to remember it all. The big things are easy. I had a kid. I published a book….
To everyone out there, I wish you love, health, and happiness this holiday season. I leave you with a remake of a song I love.
It’s been a whirlwind of 12 weeks that started with the birth of my son. Since then, I’ve faced an epidural headache, jaundice, cold & flu, a jealous 3-year-old, a speeding ticket, the birth of a niece, the death of a grandfather, meeting new friends, creating a business, costume making, scraping by on NaNo, and…
