Argh. I apologize for being so flaky. There have been a lot of things going on in my personal life that just shunt me a step or two off my groove. Things are looking up now, though, and I'm trying! I've talked before about trust, and I think today will be related. The world is … Continue reading Family Is Soft and Smells Pretty

This week is late, I know. I spent the weekend doing a few things that were very important to me. Sometimes, even though I love writing, we all just need a break. Self-care is really important, and I was admittedly a little selfish this weekend. No, I shouldn't say it like that. Self-care isn't selfish. … Continue reading Don’t Worry, There’s More For You, Too

Happy Passover/Easter/April Fool's Day! Sorry, this has been an incredibly busy weekend. I hope you'll share your favorite pranks, cute pictures of kids and pets celebrating (you count! You're someone's kid! I guess possibly someone's pet, too. No shame here!) and know that I haven't forgotten you. I'm edited through most of Chapter 12, and … Continue reading Something For Everyone

Y'all, apparently Eurovision is going on. My feeds are awash with controversies about pacifist Vikings and gay Irish lads taking potshots at the Russians and I have no idea what's happening. I understand there's singing. I'm led to believe that this is something like sports, in that the nations are competing, so there's an element of … Continue reading Eurovisionquest

Book three is jogging along! I estimate there are four chapters left, unless the story surprises me a lot somewhere on the descent. So yay! The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer. In this story, we'll finally get to spend more time with Summer and Lia's friends. I'm really excited for … Continue reading Friends Are the Family You Pick

Last week we heard what Summer and Lia think it takes to adult. This week, I think I'd share some of my favorite hostessing tips. Not really related to the stories I tell, I know, but we're hosting or participating in hosting a lot this month, so it's on my mind. There are so many … Continue reading Take Your Partying Seriously

Look. Summer and Lia aren't what one would call "traditional" adults, with their jobs and pants and souffles or whatever. But non-traditional doesn't mean immature. Here are the ten things they think are absolutely critical to coming across like a grown up. Grown Up-ism 1: Personal hygiene. Look, we get it. Showers are so far away. … Continue reading Adulting In 10 Easy Steps

I really don't have much to say this week. I've been a terrible goal-keeper lately, in the sense that I am not meeting my goals. I am always a bad goal-keeper in quidditch or those other sports. I could lie, and tell you things are great or that a Pegasus ate my computer, or I could … Continue reading My Best Is Being An Idiot This Week

This will be a spoiler-free post, but I just saw Black Panther and just... I'm at a total loss. I'm not sure if Marvel's been holding out on us this whole time, whether they've just redefined superhero movies forever, or if this was the brilliant once-in-a-lifetime occurrence that we'll keep trying to taste but never … Continue reading Life Goal: Don’t Get Barked At

Today I'd like to discuss the nature of time and space. And how one human can actually only ever be in one place in one time which is absolute bull. I keep wanting to disprove this by sheer will, but the four dimensions are all like "you ain't nothin'," and then it's 9 PM and I've … Continue reading I’ve Got 99 Problems, & Physics Is All of Them
