The short and sweet of it all

I’ve got to get writing and painting done tonight. I also realized that I have another assignment due for my painting class by the end of the week. It’s back to my timer for me. I’ve got to get myself reset. So, with this short and sweet blog done, I’m going to go get creative … Continue reading The short and sweet of it all

Apology

While I didn’t wake up as stiff and sore as I’d imagined that I would, I did wake up feeling horrible. While I know the woman who was beside me when I rolled my ankle will probably never see this, I still feel the need to apologize to her. Dear lady, please know that I … Continue reading Apology

FanX 2023 final day

Good day. Two of a dear friend’s (grown) children stopped by my booth to visit with me. They are pictured above with me. I haven’t seen my friend in several years, but it’s so much fun to visit her kids. Their visits over the years have always delighted me. Here’s my kids at FanX in … Continue reading FanX 2023 final day

FanX 2023 day 2

Dehydration from days of house repairs in Nevada caught up to me today. Shortly after the day started, I started feeling dizzy. Coffee helped, because I love my coffee, but it was only part of the solution. I just really needed to drink more water. Erin, bless her heart, stayed with me a lot of … Continue reading FanX 2023 day 2

FanX 2023 day 1

I’m writing this (or starting it) while I have an hour left on day 1 of FanX. The energy is so high that I keep finding myself dancing in my booth. Yes, I’m making my own theme music! (Grin) Besides dancing, I’ve also been getting some writing done between customers. I just can’t stop. It … Continue reading FanX 2023 day 1

FanX starts tomorrow

Above is the moon tonight over the Salt Palace where FanX takes place. I’m just glad I made it to the hotel after we got set up. I hate driving at night. Now, I’m hoping to get rid of my headache that I have from all the stress and lights, and get some writing done. … Continue reading FanX starts tomorrow

It’s not about the words

I started listening to Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey. I had thought the book would be about one Herald, but it’s really about another. I even had to go and find a timeline for the books, since I’m currently reading Redoubt, book 4 of The Collegium Chronicles. At one point, I made myself … Continue reading It’s not about the words

Drops will fill a bucket

I managed to get a drop of writing done today while my brother and I finished the flooring. The picture above is him putting in the very last piece. But while we were working on it, he’d go to get something; I’d get some writing done. That seemed to work well. Then I painted the … Continue reading Drops will fill a bucket

FanX 2023 is coming

FanX is quickly approaching. I will be an endcap in Artist Alley. My booth is E40. FanX starts next Thursday and ends on Saturday (the pic above is a year old, so it’s really the 21st -23rd). I’m looking forward to another good year. Hope to see you there. Cheers.

Back to staining and flooring

I stained the front door today. It was a large task and one I’d been dumb enough to pick a one inch brush for. On the bright side, the bristles picked up a lot of stain so it actually went very quickly all considering. The wood was old, dried, cracked, and bowed. It hasn’t been … Continue reading Back to staining and flooring
