Can I Keep It?

One of the realities of life when you have kids is their longing to acquire pets. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters... the list is endless. In this day of pampered pets, it's hard to envision a time when the dog was not allowed in the house. The cat was an outside cat. And no one even considered taking either one to the vet. People could hardly afford a doctor for themselves--let alone an

Alpheli Solution

When Danamara Higgins is attacked by a vampire, her life turns upside down. Vampire Bootcamp class seems to be the answer to her prayers. In her wildest dreams, she doesn't consider meeting not just one, but two hunky vampires who take her—in the car, in the shower, in the living room, in the hot tub, in hand—as they teach her everything she'll need to know about her new vampire life.For

Piggs and Wolves

Heh. This picture reminds me of all the "new" versions that are popping up of old stories and fairytales. Hmmm.

Everyone.Disappointed (and broke) I

Life storms...

Over the years, I've observed the changes in family groups when disaster strikes. Everyone will be picking and scratching at each other, belly-achin' over every minor irritation and then--in the midst of chaos, they all pull together, offering comfort and support.At our house, we're in the midst of a life change. Everyone is pulling together, making sure things are taken care of, doing more than

Pitfalls

Over the loooong weekend I decided to rearrange my office. As usual, the simplest plan bloomed into a chaotic mess.My idea was to clear the stuff from one short section of wall so I could hang a bulletin board. Of course, that led to rearranging how my desk was situated...which led to something else that had to be moved. Pretty soon, half of the stuff in the office was sitting in the living room.
