Whose Costume is the Best?
No, I'm not hosting a costume competition. Well, not exactly. I'm asking about your household. If you're a mom, do you put more into your kid's costumes thank yours? (assuming you dress up) Or are you the over-the-top costume-er in your house? No kids? Do you try and out-do your co-workers?
Qui-Gon is on the right
Personally, I love Halloween, and I almost always dress up some. I've got all kinds of costume stuff socked away – an old poodle skirt, a clown costume, Star Trek uniforms (TNG), and...

Trick or Treat or Stay at Home?

A big question facing parents every Halloween is: Do I stay at home and hand out candy or take the kids Trick or Treating? At my house, my husband and I divide the duties and trade off every year, but it's still a challenge when one kid only wants to go to a few houses but the other wants to go for hours.
I like going around the neighborhood with my kids. I love the decorations and seeing my neighbors. Fall evenings here in Northern California are mild, and ...

Unintended Sex Ed
Many romance readers (and writers) are a little hesitant to admit that they read books that include hot sex scenes. Pulling out a book with a nearly naked man (Like Lori Foster's yummy book) or a woman about to bust out of her bodice to read at the kid's dentist office can be kind of…awkward. Especially when the child next to you – yours – starts reading over your shoulder.
If you're like me, you immediately slam the book shut and hide it away. Or pick up a...

Magazines – Remember Those?
Image via Wikipedia
In the new age of e-readers and apps for everything, I'm wondering what's happening with magazines. Me? I don't read many. Besides trade magazines, I only flip through Better Homes & Gardens. My hubby tends toward techie stuff (Wired is fun), and my kids read National Geographic (yes, they really do). So even though I don't read many, when it came time for my son's annual magazine drive, we had no problem filling up his list with renewals.
How about you? What magazines do...

Monday Funny
Some nerdy fun this morning: A literal interpretation of computer problems.
Isn't it funny to see how much technology has influenced language? What computer terms tickle your fancy when taken out of context?
Thanks to my friend Kim for pointing me to this great video. Happy Monday!
