Things that rock my world...
* This. This definitely rocked my world. Yummy guys? Yummy yummy hot guys? IN ANIME? *swoon* *thud*
* Going to Zoomboy's class to see his purty purty art.
* Seeing Squish 'adopted' as class pet, because she was a 'little sister'-- even though she was almost as tall as a lot of the first graders.
* Chicken's out of school.
* And she's decided that she likes dance.
* And so does Squish.
* Big T is almost old enough to get a job! (If you knew all the times he clutter-talked at me when...

Various shit...
* Okay, I just started feeding my blog through Goodreads, so if you look at my goodreads.com page, you can see the blog highlight. And because of that, I actually (get this) HESITATED giving this post a swearword in the title. *shakes head* Seriously-- like someone who reads my fiction is gonna be put off by a widdle bit o shit...

Unmotivated, my fat ass!
I'm getting used to reviews, both good and bad, so I couldn't figure out why this one stuck in my craw with such jagged edges. The reviewer said that Cory, my heroine, was "dumpy and unmotivated," and for some reason, it made me just want to reach through cyberspace and slap someone.
I mean Cory was taking fifteen units and working full time at a crappy job to finance her education. What more did this reviewer want? Was Cory 'unmotivated' because she wasn't born into a fully funded educa...

What I did tonight...
First of all, it was kind of you to start placing bets on my ability to keep my sanity over the summer. Do I have to remind you all that we've done this before? I've already LOST my mind... it's not like it's going to get LOSTER just because I'm locked in the asylum with the other inmates! Seriously--nearly four years, I've been blogging. You'd think people would get used to the taste of crazy-brains here at this URL!
Anyway--as for what I did tonight (besides just spend an hour editing "M...

Yay I have my summers... off?
Squish and I have been home together for the last three days.
She's gonna kill me.
Seriously--today, I had to take Big T to a dentists appointment (there was a lot of "Holy Cats! Has that kid grown?" Uhm, he must have-- he's TALLER THAN A FREAKIN' TANK!) so I took her too.
We seriously entertained the receptionist, because she NEVER STOPPED TALKING. But the weirdest part was when she was looking at a picture in an ocean book.
"Hey look! What's that?" (She must have said this about s...

Let the Knitting Begin!
OKay-- first, for the goodreads.com feed... today IS June Second, so Phonebook should be available from Dreamspinner. "Phonebook" is actually a short story sequel to another short story. "Shirt" appeared in the Curious Anthology and featured two lovers--Scotty and Ryan-- who had a rather surprising moment when Ryan got tangled up in his oxford shirt. It is still one of the DIRTIEST stories I've ever written-- but also one of the funniest. "Phonebook" revisits Scotty and Ryan again--this ti...

I'm not dead yet...
First, because I like this song and love this video:
And second--
My last post was pretty damned bleak, so I thought I'd check in and tell you all that:
Seriously-- I"m doing much better. I spent a day or two sleeping and eating chocolate and doing some snuggling and some knitting, and now I've got ten weeks of summer in which to recover--and be grateful that I don't work full time and that I have a place I can go in another profession in which I don't feel helpless and impotent.

Limping Through the Finish
Okay. I just begged my oldest son to not talk to me. The debacle of my school year is complete.
I can't even BEGIN to tell you all how awful the last two days have been.
My third period yesterday... was horrible. They tittered all the way through the final, they whispered, the tried valiantly to see what they could get away with, and then, when they were done, they disregarded the people working next to them and shouted to the people one seat over because they are rude, disrespectful, horr...

Phone book
hee hee hee... Okay. So I'm easily entertained. But "Phonebook" is now available at Dreamspinner. The reason I'm so entertained is that, in spite of being the worst edited blog on the web, that title up top is NOT a typo. It seems that the only way they could get the damned thing to post is by putting a space in the title, and, for some reason, that makes me giggle. It's like our smart machines outsmarted us, and for someone as TOTALLY right brained as moi? That's frickin' hysterical. ...

Sleepy Saturdays...
Sort of.
First of all, thank you, everybody, for the hugs and good wishes. I was trying to be very grown-up about the whole thing--turns out, I was just too tired to recognize that we're all little kids, even when we're forty-two. Anyway, that's another blogpost, today's will be quick and simple and hit on some of the stuff I glossed over on Thursday, yes?
* Fucked up Tuesday. Tuesdays are pretty skeery 'round here anyway. Both girls have dance lessons--same studio, but different locations...
