The Buck wanted more healthy snack foods around the house. I bought him Nutrigrain bars (not the healthiest thing I know, but better than half a can of peanuts. And he would eat half a can in one sitting. Serving size not always his strong suit.). Right now he says "Dammit I keep meaning to eat that candy bar, but I keep leaving it somewhere before ( Read more... )

Yes, I will be there.

I have time free Friday and Saturday. If nothing else, you can find me in the bar. Probably with Scalzi.

I am scheduled for panels...right when I said I wouldn't be available...but I won't be doing them. Yes, the appropriate people were informed. No they didn't change anything.

Go ahead and ping me here if you want to meet up. Or ( Read more... )

There's a lot going on in my life. That isn't to say there isn't a lot going on in your life too, just that I have a lot myself. The funny thing is the "a lot" in my life now is not what I would have considered "a lot" a year ago.

A year ago I was contemplating working on my stuntwoman skills and get actual paying work doing it. A year ago I was ( Read more... )

The weight is still coming off! 15 pounds to go!

The baby blues only lasted a few weeks and are completely gone now. And the Buck was amazingly supportive during them.

Who is going to be at PenguiCon next weekend?

Pull up a chair. Get some hot cocoa. This is going to take a while. I'm a fantasy author. We have trouble with the concept of brevity. I ROFLed.

Here's the deal kiddies: What I and the Buck are going to name the baby is nobody's business but our own. We aren't going to tell you no matter how many times you ask. Nor are we going to take under advisement anything you have to say. Stop suggesting names. At this point my hormones are running so hot that all it does is make me want to reach down ( Read more... )

Last night at the gym I put up 40# dumbbells for my dumbbell presses. Most ever. The Buck kept saying throughout the workout "Are you trying to make me look bad?!" and then upping his weight.

Why Sony, why???! Why are your ebooks darn near the same price as a trade paperback or even a hardcover??? I want so much to get ebooks for my bright shiny new ereader but I don't want to pay 15.00$ for it! The whole point is to have them be more frugal because there are no printing costs for them but still get revenue for the product! Foolish ( Read more... )
