I went down to the kitchen this morning all sleepy-eyed, ready to cook some eggs for breakfast, and I nearly screamed when I looked at the counter tops. Ants! Traveling all along our countertops in neat little rows, then fanning out all over the damn place. It was my fault, really. I didn’t clean up the salad from yesterday’s meal. I just put the bowls in the sink and said fuck it, I’ll do it tomorrow. That’s when the ants moved in. They must have been watching me from the shadowy depths of the kitchen’s walls, waiting to attack. Luckily,…

My new WIP (work in progress) is a young adult novel, and I think it’s starting to drive me insane. I feel like a have a good premise and some good ideas for how the plot is going to go, but I’m having a hard time with some of the other decisions. Like what time do I want to set it in? Present day? The future? And what type of personality do I want my heroine to have? That’s a big one. I have thought of making her more of a misfit. Kind of like a goth girl with piercings…

I have finally finished ‘Steal My Heart’! Again. Hehe. I finished this novella the first time back in October I believe, and sent it out to several publishers. The reaction was great… as far as rejections go. But no one was willing to buy the story. When that opportunity to pitch came up with Wild Rose Press last month, I decided to revamp the story line and see if I could make it work. The editor requested the manuscript, but of course, it was not rewritten yet and I had work to do. It sucks that it’s taken me a…

I remember hearing about the first official face transplant in the US around Christmas or the beginning of the year, and I wondered what on earth that really meant. The woman who had it done wanted to stay anonymous and no one was giving out the details of what they did to her or what exactly was wrong with her to begin with. Now, the face transplant recipient has come forward and identified herself. Her name is Connie Culp, and she used to be beautiful, at least on the outside. I don’t know much about her personality or her spirit,…

After 18 weeks, the final four contestants on this season’s The Biggest Loser, have completely transformed themselves. On last night’s episode, their final challenge was to complete a marathon. For those of you who aren’t sure how long that is: 26.2 miles! These people were 250 to 400 pounds just a few months ago! And every one of the final four, even Ron with his serious knee and other health problems, completed the marathon. Tara completed the 26.2 miles running after about 5 hours. Helen also ran and came in just about an hour after Tara. I was so proud…

My fiance and I have been trying something different for the past couple of weeks, both in an effort to save money and to eat healthier. (And to lose weight for my part) Our “normal” schedule before this was to have something light, if anything, for breakfast. We would have a strawberry milkshake or a bowl of fiber one cereal some days, nothing but orange juice on others. Then, we would eat out almost every day for lunch. Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, pizza buffets, Japanese, etc. At dinner, we would also eat out usually. If you start adding up the money we…
