Zombie Wine Holders
This is a lame Wine Wednesday because I’ve been sick since Saturday. The chances of me consuming wine this evening are not likely. So I wanted to do something fun, especially with Halloween coming up, and here it is, zombie wine holders. This is my favorite! I found this guy and bought him to add him to my Halloween decorations! I’m a little shocked that these guys are holding white…

Wine Review: Fuente Elvira
WELCOME BACK TO #WINEWEDNESDAY! This is my favorite blogging day of the week and I’m too happy to be back here, talking about the reds, the whites and the potential hangovers. This week I’m starting off with a wine review for a summer favorite. I found this wine at Costco of all places. We frequent a Costco liquor store that’s good about showcasing wines of all flavors and prices. Me…

I’m Back!
Time to start blogging again. I’ve been a hermit far longer than I had expected this year, both here and on social media. I have returned to facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ and that’s about all I’ll get involved with regularly anymore. I do have a LinkedIn and Tumblr account in the social links above, but I only visit there now and then. There are WAY to many sites out…

On a Break
For the last three months I’ve been changing my priorities. The most important goal I’ve given myself is to spend 2014 for myself and my writing. My number one priority is to write and edit the novels I’ve neglected for the last 4 years while I learned publishing and improved my editing skills. Until further notice, I won’t be posting to my blog. My thought is to return after I’ve…

Two Things at a Time
If only I weighed what this scale reads. Week one with no sugar sucked and it’s only getting worse. Every day around 2:00 P.M. my nerves are on edge, and I could kill someone for a Jolly Rancher. What do I do to curb the cravings? I eat a tablespoon of raisins and half a handful of nuts. Anyway, last week I decided to set 2 goals to get me…

Whatever, It’s Ready
This is my first week doing the Trifecta, a weekly word challenge I’m adding to the Thursday blog agenda. Each week I’ll do a different challenge to change things up. Here’s my first try: “I have time to kill,” Bob said. “Let’s spend some more time editing your manuscript.” “Why?” Tammy replied to her husband. He was so annoying, thinking that thirty years as an English professor made him an…

Book Review: The Snowman by Raymond Briggs
Illus. in full color. A wordless story. The pictures have “the hazy softness of air in snow. A little boy rushes out into the wintry day to build a snowman, which comes alive in his dreams that night. The experience is one that neither he nor young ‘readers’ will ever regret or forget.”–(starred) Booklist. This book is like a comic book with no words. What I like about the format…
