Well, I don’t know about y’all but I’m planning to celebrate our nation’s birthday by baby-sitting my nephew today! One of the joys of having a relative who works for a theme park. They work all the holidays everybody else gets off. It’s ok, though. Gonna have a day with the nevvy. Our local theater’s […]
Continue readingYesterday I escorted my mom to the fabulous Cleopatra Exhibit at the California Science Center, and I thought it might be fun to post some of the pics. The exhibit itself was very cool, full of many of the artifacts that have been unearthed from the underwater remains of Cleopatra’s capital city, Alexandria. The exhibit […]
Continue readingSo, been awhile and I thought I should give an update for any interested parties. My friend’s wedding went well. That was a couple of weeks ago. I hadn’t been properly warned about the humidity of a DC summer so that kind of sucked and I had to buy more shorts and tanks because what […]
Continue reading(How cool is it that Agent Coolson gets his own poster? I mean, seriously awesome, right?!) So, I’ve been looking forward to this pretty much since the first Iron Man movie came out and they had Nick Fury as the tag after the end credits. I’m a huge geek and I love, LOVE the shared […]
Continue readingDamn. Only one week into Inept Cook and I missed my second go-round. BUT I have a good excuse, I had the Cold of Doom this weekend. In fact, I’m still fighting it. I had a fever on Sunday and part of today. I can’t even remember the last time I was sick enough to […]

One of them being spaghetti and one of them a thing with so many calories my belly gets bigger just thinking about it.) I have therefore hatched a plan for the next few weeks: I […]
Continue readingI like band wagons, hopping on them is the most fun. And so…a meme: So, writers go to page 77 of their WIP (work-in-progress), finds line number seven, and copies the next seven lines. This is from “Beauty and the Bouncer”: Savage with satisfaction, Lucy pounded inside to get her things. After grabbing her purse […]
Continue readingStill doing that upward slog trying to get back on track with the healthy eating. I need to grocery shop which I KNOW helps me stay on track. I’m much less likely to eat crap when there’s good food that I’ve already paid for sitting in the house. But I just…really hate the grocery store. […]
Continue readingSo, I’m trying to shed some extra poundage. I’ve got a bridesmaid dress I want to look hot in come May. But I keep getting into trouble with my healthy eating at my day job. See, this is one of the perils of office work that doesn’t get mentioned so much: the food. There’s candy […]
Continue reading…in a galaxy far, far away. Oh, yes. Dragged my long suffering sister to this with me today. It was like mecca. I swear I almost stroked out from geek fulfillment. BEST. DAY. EVER.
