I'm taking a quick break from hauling widget boxes over from my old blog to wish my awesome hosting company a happy sixteenth birthday. I've been a customer of DreamHost since 1999, thanks to the recommendation of my dear friend thinkum, and I've never wanted to look elsewhere. Not only do they send out entertaining,...

From InternetG33k to Traci York
The Great InternetG33k Website and Blog Transfer of 2013 is underway! Please pardon the mess. I'm slowly working through, changing links and adding widgets. Until I finish, there will be old blog entries saying they're authored by InternetG33k (my former moniker), while new entries will be attributed to me. Also, some links might still bring...

Eddie
On Tuesday, June 26th, Eddie, our beloved Schipperke, lost his battle with Cushings. Words are still failing me. Someday I'll be ready to share some of the wonderful memories of our oh-too-brief time with him, but for now, I still miss him too much. Rest easy, buddy. I know you have great company at the...

A Little Tease With My Whine
I’ve been eating/sleeping/breathing “Wrecked” for the past week or so, and I think my sanity (if you can call it that) is slipping a bit. My head is noisier than usual, and my creative energy seems to be stirring up some resident spooks in our house. Is it a bad that whenever something goes bump... Continue Reading →
Unedited and unapologic
Okay, I changed my mind - I fixed some typos, and I'm sorry for the unpolished nature of the following excerpt. *grin* This is part of my current NaNoWriMo project, tentatively titled "Submerged" (it was "Tangled" for a week or so, but this seems more apropos). Even though I fixed typos, this is the mostly... Continue Reading →
And the winner is…
Where was I? Oh yes, I remember - out of all the options we had for our winter living situation, the winner was... *drum roll* ... none of the above! *grin* The night I posted the blog entry, Winter of our dis-is-contentment, hubby came home and told me he’d stumbled upon a really nice rental...

Decisions, decisions…
To be honest, we’ve made our winter decision, but I’ve been too busy to blog about it… *grin* But before I make the big announcement (given my two readers are also Facebook friends they’re already well aware of it, but allow me the illusion that I have people breathless with antici… pation), let me start...

Winter of our dis is content(ment)
Winter is coming. While I’m happy the speedy summer means we’re that much closer to the next season of Game of Thrones, it makes me anxious in many other ways. And while I love the freedom afforded us with camper living, sometimes having too many choices is as bad as none at all. Okay, maybe... Continue Reading →
Hibernation
Call me Mama Bear, because I’m snoozing the winter away… Not a hibernation like in years past, though. This new living situation we’ve chosen has once again proven to have unexpected benefits. Since our kitchen is small, I can’t stock up on groceries, so I need to go out and face the world at least... Continue Reading →
Christmas 2.0
Some day I’ll have a stress-free time before Christmas… *grin* Worst thing about my annual angst - it’s completely and totally under my control, yet I always let it get the best of me. I really thought I’d have it mastered this year, but I let the guilt of Christmas past sneak up and whisper... Continue Reading →
Finish Work
I crossed the finish line, but the race has just begun! Better yet - my youngest crossed with me, completing the final 200 words of her story only about twelve hours after I hit the 50K mark. While her word count was much smaller, and she spent only a few days working on her story... Continue Reading →
