    It’s Friday

    I’ve got about ten minutes before I need to toss some food in a sack, slop coffee in a cup, and go. Funny how it is.  It’s not that I’m not looking forward to being at work. I have some good puzzles to work through while I’m there, and the possibility of being handed more…

    Derailed

    I’ve started writing again. Fiction, that is. You’ve seen my output of non-fiction if you follow this blog. Of course, I say this and it sounds impressive and then I will tell you that the first day, I did 6 words. The second day I managed 61. It’s not about the count, it’s the discipline,…

I was lying around trying to let my body fight off the virus that…

    Home Executive: Frugal Wife

    I meant to slide backwards today and discuss the foundations of this series – why I’m writing it and for what purpose, but to do that properly I need to cite references and frankly my dear, it’s been a whirlwind. We had a long weekend, and today I have a list of things to do…

    30 Ways to be A Modern Woman

    Karen D (캐렌 디) commented to me, It “would be interesting to see a “modern woman” version – but someone would be yelled at for writing the orig. article.” Of course, I immediately offered to start the ball rolling. I’d host the list at my blog, but I wanted help from others to create a…
