Given that it's December, I knew this was inevitable. Today was the first significant snowfall of the season. Needless to say, I hobbled outside with my camera for a few.

While this isn't the first morning there's been frost on the ground, today was the first time I was able to hobble around outside with my camera. I decided to call this one, Frozen Wishes. *grin* "Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too."... Continue Reading →
For the first time since 2010, I have a NaNoWriMo quandary. My original plan was to write something based on the fictional Internet Geek character I created for my old blog. However, I couldn't seem to puzzle out exactly what I wanted from that story line, so here I am - ten days away from... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in my most recent Witchy Wednesday, today is the Super Full Moon (aka, the vaguely heroic sounding Supermoon). I managed to hobble outside last night to get some pictures, about 15 hours before it was officially full. I plan to make another trek tonight for some additional shots, which will probably be...

It's been just over three weeks since I sent hubby a text message saying, "I need help. My knee just gave out. I'm outside with Sid." During the ensuing longs days on the couch, I turned to binge watching on Netflix to help me pass the time. I am now completely caught up on -... Continue Reading →

The NaNoWriMo countdown is on! One week from today, in addition to being Halloween and Samhain, it will be National Novel Writing Month Eve. I've done it every year since 2007, and crossed the finish line seven times. This year, even though I'm a big fan of pantsing, I might just give plotting a go.... Continue Reading →
Last week, I noticed #slightlyoffbooktitles trending on Twitter. I saved a bunch of my favorites, thinking it would make a great, quick blog post some day. Then on Saturday, I tweaked my knee, and I'm currently stuck on my couch with crutches, a huge brace, and an old lap top. Definitely need these giggles today... Continue Reading →
The first time I heard about the "Facebook Killer" social network, Ello (back in 2014), this is the first thing that popped in my head - https://youtu.be/xBZLVcZhhFk I managed to wrangle an invite, and joined the site on October 23rd, 2014 (yes, I searched my Gmail for the exact date). Since that time, I've made... Continue Reading →
Last Thursday, my computer shut down and Microsoft updated with nary a please or thank you. By Friday, my rig was toast. Thankfully, hubby is Hardware Geek to my Internet G33k, and got things straightened out by Saturday night - a process made easier by the fact that when he built my computer, he installed...
