Unicorns Poop

Posted in unicorn poop | 3 Comments
Unicorns poop because they have butts. They also apparently speak Mandarin. (Guess that would make them k’i-lin.) And honestly, Lucy was hopping around and neighing, but as soon as mr myn pulled out the camera, it devolved into this. My kids are insane. ** ** And no, the older girl is a cousin, not mine. 😉… Read more

Crap Food in a Box Review #1

Posted in crap in a box, rant, WW | Leave a comment
The sad fact of the matter is that as much fun as it is to work from home, I have this massive tendency to eat. Whether it’s just boredom or stress (or too much late night snacking while I write or play WoW or whatever). I was doing very well for a while there, but I need to tighten that belt down a bit more than I have been. A pound here or there makes no real difference – until you ignore them. (And yes, back surgery does tend to make one a slug – I’m only cleared for light walking as it is, so it’s not like I’m gonna be training for a marathon any time soon.)

I’d learned quickly that wearing black was the kiss of death if I went out in public with Benjamin. Might as well paint a target on my head and invite the pigeons to take a shit on me, too.… Read more

Spoiled

Posted in books, spoilers | Leave a comment
It could be, regardless of what I’ve said in the past, that I may be a reader of romance. By that, I mean the whole Happily Ever After concept – which is the mainstay of the majority of romance novels. Apparently most romance readers expect one – or demand it – or won’t even read the thing unless there is one. I tend to scoff at this. I actually do like tragic sorts of endings, or where things are uncertain. As long as the characters grow along the way, it doesn’t really matter to me if they’re still together at the end. Or so I tell myself. However, I’ve discovered that’s not entirely true. Apparently, when it comes to books I love or characters I’m deeply invested in, I have this rather terrible habit of flipping to the back of the book to read the ending. Or if not the… Read more
