Wednesday, April 21, 2010 Remember the ’70’s? Yeah, me too, sadly. Sigh. Anyway, I was talking to a colleague a few months ago and she was watching the air bubble slowly drift from top to bottom of a bottle of hand sanitizer (something, by the way, we did not have in the ’70’s). I said,…

Camp Rocks!
Wednesday, July 02, 2008 I apologize for posting so late today! I just got back last night from three days at Girl Scout camp with my daughter and once I rinsed off 36 hours worth of bug spray, sunscreen and dirt and had a cold bottle of beer, I crashed until 1:30 this afternoon. Somehow,…
Leslie Langtry – Army of One
Wednesday, June 04, 2008 For some people, turning 40 means stepping back, reflecting on your life, relaxing, taking time to stop and smell the roses. Apparently, I didn’t get the memo. You can’t see it because mud dries lighter than it is when originally rolled in and the bruises haven’t begun to turn the colors…
IN-Frequently Asked Questions of the Damned
Wednesday, May 28, 2008 So, this morning, as I’m getting the kids ready, Margaret asks me, “Mom?” (Because that is my actual name anymore) “What state is Washington DC in?” I immediately answer, “DC or District of Columbia, is it’s own city-state because the founding fathers didn’t want any state government to have jurisdiction over…
Survival of the Nakedest…
Wednesday, May 21, 2008 Survivor is over and I must say, it was the best played game ever. But as a writer who creates her own worlds, I like messing with the idea and since my third book (which is loosely based on Survivor), STAND BY YOUR HITMAN comes out September 1, I’m kind of…
Just Another Manic Mother’s Day
WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 2008 Before I begin – check out my new and improved website and see my first ever contest! I know, it took me f…o…r…e…v…e…r. But now I have the Amazing Kim so things are looking up! More on that later. How was your Mother’s Day? Mine was okay. It’s always too much…
The Cake That Ate My Youth, Part Deaux
WEDNESDAY, MAY 07, 2008 So, because I know how absolutely desperate you are to know, here’s how the week really turned out. Tuesday – We decided elementary school talent show will last approximately seven hours. Still haven’t killed creepy showbiz moms – which shows tremendous, nobel-peace-prize-potential self-control on my part. Managed to make cake only…
Betty Crocker’s Laser Light Cakestravaganza
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2008 Before I get started, note the photo above. It’s Sin (the ravishing brunette on my right) and Hellion (the fiery redhead on my left)! We were all at the Spring Fling conference in Chicago last weekend and shared many cocktails, laughs and one author-related cootie catcher. Hey Girls! So, here’s my…
Sweet Mystery of Life, At Last I Found You!
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 09, 2008 Look at me in my sweet ride! Okay, I’m dreaming. I don’t have 60K to buy this #$*!*# GORGEOUS corvette, but a girl can dream. . .right? After all – it’s a two-seater and I have kids so they wouldn’t be able to ride with me. Wait, maybe that’s not an…
Someone Left The Cake Out In The Rain. . .
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 02, 2008 Someone sent me this photo and it seemed like it belonged on the wedding cake for the characters in GUNS WILL KEEP US TOGETHER. I have to wonder who had this on their cake? And I also have to wonder what the bride was thinking. I mean, come on? A handgun…
