Spaaa-tica

Dear FITS family, Did you even doubt I’d miss the FUN (!?!) of spa week?  I ended up trading my view of this: and choice of activities like this: For this: About 24 hours after getting home, I walked into tea time at the spa and stories of the first 48 hours without me. Nora … Continue reading Spaaa-tica →

A Cranky Publicist note.

Dear FITS family, I’m sure you all wonder about the truest harbinger of Spring in these parts: Girls Spa Week.  When does it take place? When will all that girl energy flood the posts? When will Laura have to play games??? (It’s ok to admit that’s what you really want to know.) The timing is … Continue reading A Cranky Publicist note. →

Enough Already!

I’m now officially obsessed with the weather. I’ve not yet stepped outside to shake my fist at the sky, but it could be coming. Sure, I should be grateful we didn’t get the snow this weekend as threatened–though there may be some Monday morning, so I’ll just save any gratitude. Besides, here’s what my refrigerator … Continue reading Enough Already! →

Here Comes The Sun

At last! The weather reports called for 60s–and heading toward 70 last week. No. It stayed stubbornly in the 50s (if it got there at all) except for one brief, fleeting afternoon, dipping down into the 30s at night. And it rained. It rained again. It rained some more. But this morning, there’s actual sun … Continue reading Here Comes The Sun →

Marching On

It’s nearly the end of my winter hibernation. Though the weather itself wasn’t very pleasing–really cold, ice, rain, freezing rain, sleet, and not much snow to lift the gloom–I spent most of the long stretch inside looking out. And things got done. Pages written, house purged, soups and stews cooked, breads baked. I don’t ask … Continue reading Marching On →

Stuff and Nonsense

Some of you may be aware we had a bit of a tangle on the Dark In Death Discussion thread last week. A reader had strong (very) objections to the word skank as used to describe women Eve and Peabody warned about possible danger. I don’t want to get more specific on the plot itself … Continue reading Stuff and Nonsense →

Rainy Days and Sundays

I know, it could be snow. If what’s been coming down the last few days happened to be snow, we’d be buried in it. Still, I actually think, since it’s February, I’d prefer a good, solid snow over days of gray and rain. Wet dogs, muddy paws. At least, from inside, snow’s pretty. So on … Continue reading Rainy Days and Sundays →

February. Why?

I don’t know why this month’s always so difficult. Okay winter, but it’s short. It should be easy. But we have ice on the lane, ice on the patio, dogs who don’t want to be outside more than five minutes. Who can blame them?  We have cold. We have gloom. Then how about some more … Continue reading February. Why? →

Home Alone Adventures

Which is exactly what I don’t want when BW goes on his winter break. What I want is a quiet house, little to no cooking, and hibernation routine. The first disruption in this planned bliss happened when I had to go back to the dentist because they found a stupid cavity on my regular check … Continue reading Home Alone Adventures →

Dark in Death discussion thread

Today’s the day!  You can talk all about Dark in Death here — so be warned, spoilers are very much ahead! Did you catch my teasers as you raced through?  Or are you savoring because you know September is a ways away? Share away in the comments. Laura
