Nice Mommy~Evil Editor

KarenS had a post on her blog about condom usage in books. This is a bit of a must for me and I have some rather emphatic feelings on the matter, so rather than clutter up her comments with what was turning into a rather long, ranty explanation, I decided to move it to my [...]

Well, as much as I miss my laptop, I have to admit that not having it has done wonderous things for my reading time. In the past week, I’ve read a stack of books. I’ve read half as many books in the past week as I did in the previous 5 months of this year. [...]

It’s official. I’m a blogging addict. It’s been hard for me to spend more than 5 minutes at a time at the computer since I sent my laptop away (sniff, sniff). It’s been great on my reading because I can lay on the living room floor with the baby and read. But I miss blogging. [...]

Yep, Josh and I are finally home owners. After several months of stress and dealing with a dishonest, horrible realtor, we have finally signed the papers and the house is ours.

The calls for a “nurse-in” began on the Internet mere moments after Barbara Walters uttered [...]

Yeah, it seems everyone in the reading world is ranting right now. Well, the authors anyway, about this whole RWA mess. I totally get why they’re upset. I would be too if I was in their shoes. I have my own rant to contribute. But since I’m not an author, aspiring or otherwise, let alone [...]

I have said before that I’m not a huge fan of chick lit, but I read this book for a contest and found myself enjoying it so much that I blogged about it. Written entirely in the form of emails and IMs (instant messages), the book didn’t immediately grab my attention. When I started it [...]

As if just having a blog isn’t enough reason to talk about myself, now Monica and Shannon are being bad influences Copy and paste the list, bold what’s true about yourself and then add one true thing. I love it and you all must read each and every one and be amazed Comments in parantheses [...]
