People around me are rejoicing because Mississippi voted against a ballot initiative that stated that life begins at fertilization.  The "Personhood" amendment would have made abortion illegal, jeopardized some forms of birth control, and possibly brought legal attention to some miscarriages.&nb… Read full post »

Yes.  Still playing catch-up with the date.

I did not vote today.

I did not know a thing about the small town politics where I live.  

I expcect the Democratic Party may want to tar and feather me now.

Yes. I missed the real November 7.  So what.

Life where I live is chaotic and not conducive to sanity.  I have roommates.  Sad but true.  When I moved to this lovely house across from the beach, there were five of us. It has been an ever-changing cast of characters except… Read full post »

Blogging every day should build character or something like that. 

Just yesterday (winking) I mentioned my "process."  Here's a little more about that. One of the things that also hangs me up is where to blog?  Open Salon, Wordpress, dailykos, blogher?  My head hurts.  I sta… Read full post »

Yes.  Continue pretending with me.  At last I have made a decision.  I think.  But first I just want to vent. 

Lately I've spent a lot of time on twitter bitching about The Facebook. If it weren't for my family, and the groups I administer, I think I would give… Read full post »

The charade continues. 

I avoid committing either to NaNoWriMo or NaBloPoMo. Maybe because just looking at both or trying to say them makes me feel like I am getting really old.  Both make my head hurt, and I am not kidding.  I thought I might try NaNoWriMo, but use the… Read full post »

What a whirlwind the last three days have been.  Here it is November 3 (continue to humor me, please).  I have dealt with the whole NaNoWriMo & NaBloPoMo by steering clear.  The whole ShoFoLo makes my head hurt.  (ShortForLong)

I went a little crazy and *flirted* with a Twitte… Read full post »

Humor me.  It's November 2, 2011.  Pretend.

Late last night I found out there's something called NaBloPoMo- National Blog Post Month.  Or maybe I'd known and blocked that whole thing.  

NaNoWriMo &  NaBloPoMo.  Feeling nauseous yet?  Now of course I was confused… Read full post »

November 1, 2011

Yes. We are going to pretend it is Tuesday, November 1, 2011, the day I reallized that yes, once again, it is NaNoWriMo- National Novel Writing Month. 

NaNoWriMo is basically an opportunity for writers to support each other in writing 50,000 words of a new novel during… Read full post »

I've been fretting about this for weeks on end.  Well, maybe it's just been a few days, and mostly it's been on Twitter.  And maybe I'm only half serious. Or not serious at all.  

Frankly, I'm more concerned about changing my bio after the whole thing's over.   I hate writing… Read full post »

For days Donald Trump's antics and similar clownlike behavior from right-wing nutjobs frustrated me. No, make that weeks on end, no, make that months on end of mind-numbing right-wing insanity.  I also derided the media's growing new obsession while skating nimbly among the channels as I… Read full post »

I’ve been tweeting and facebooking and have no meaningful excuse for such a long time between posts. 

These absences hurt me more than you - obviously -  since no one else is reading.  I am trying to figure out a way to coordinate all of my writing for the sake of… Read full post »

I've got just five words for you.

Jack Daniel's Chocolate Ice Cream Cone.

Make that six.

Sorry, I don't have a snappy punchline for this one. Seems like both share a lack of facts.  Hopefully I don't have to rehash Tea Party members' stranger fixations. Let me just mention one.  Birthers.  OK?   So moving along...

I started noticing Boycott BP on Facebook, and my knee… Read full post »

I’m in sensory overload. The more I listen to both the right and left beating up on Obama, the worse it gets.  Sarah Palin and the right are piling on, and it deosn’t make any sense.  First they wanted him to do something about the oil spill, then he was doing… Read full post »

So much to be up in arms about these days, it’s hard to choose.  It’s a pundit’s playground out there, and are we just along for the ride?  There’s that pesky oil spill,  Israeli gotcha war games, the ongoing battle with Wall Street, and let’s not forget A… Read full post »

There's that wordpress blog, and oh wait, didn't I start one on blogspot too?  FB ties up my time and there's always Twitter which suits my mood at certain times.  And now another place where I can vent about family, politics, wingnuts, writing, not writing, rightwing crazies and ohdidIment… Read full post »
