Yes, the girl and I managed a library run (to the GOOD library) on Friday. It took more time and energy than expected, of course, but we got a bunch of very good books. I read My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon last night, with much giggling. The stories were a bit uneven (normal for an anthology), […]
SBQ: Sick of a WIP?
The Stitching Blogger’s Question of the Week is: Do you ever get to a point working on a project that you’ve had for so long, you start to wonder what possessed you to start it in the first place? Of course! It has always happened with patterns I chose to do for someone else, though, rather than those […]
Book Review at Fibrant Living
I finally got the book review up for Women, Work and Autoimmune Disease over at Fibrant Living.

Civil Rights Win in Florida
Months ago, I posted about Ponce de Leon High School in Florida banning the wear or display of any kind of gay pride symbols or words, claiming that they indicated involvement in an “illegal organization.” I later found out that the problem started last fall, when a lesbian student complained that she was being harassed. […]
Review: From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris
After reading From Dead to Worse, I feel as if Charlaine Harris is finished with the Southern Vampire Mysteries. If so, she’s doing so well, as volume seven is the most satisfying book of the series. This is not a “happily ever after” book, but it isn’t an “oh my God what’s going to happen […]
Fibrant Living: FMS or Depression?
