Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
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...

My 11th Blogiversary is this Wednesday, September 7th. I wrote about my decade of (kinda sorta, then really) blogging last year, so this year I'll just sum up a few things that have happened since my 10th. I wrote two paid posts for BlogHer, and two featured (non-paid) posts for SheKnows. My Fandom Fridays morphed... Continue Reading →
Hard to believe, but ten years ago today, I started blogging for a local newspaper. After two years, I struck out on my own. Granted, there have been long stretches of zero posts, but for close to a year now, I've managed three posts a week, with a few extras (like throwbacks for Thanksgiving and... Continue Reading →
For this installment of Fandom Friday, I decided to dig deep in the archives of my former blog, and you'll never guess (you being any fellow RvBers peeking in) what I found! A fangirl post about Jesse Cowell! I'd almost forgotten the phenomenon that was Jeskid, but I'm happy to say he's still hanging around... Continue Reading →
Hubby & I left the house this afternoon at 4pm, heading to the store to pick up a few things (none of which were holiday related). We got home around 10pm. I swear we got sucked into a time vortex that somehow turned a half hour into six. The end result (besides the wallet damage)... Continue Reading →
Happy Freakout (aka Black) Friday! Rather than spending the day spending money and shopping, I decided to hang at home, meander memory lane with my mother, chat with my children, and hope for hubby to return home soon. Oh, and wrangle words - here are a few more from my former, fictional self. Money Can... Continue Reading →
My fictional self, known as Catherine Trevor (InternetG33k if you're nasty) has another repost she would like to share. We've had many conversations recently as to who should be in charge of this blog from now on. I'm still not sure how it will all play out, but in the meantime, here is another of...

Nope, not a typo - I meant hoppy. I promise it will make sense when I'm done. What doesn't make sense (or does it? *grin*) is that I've noticed the blog entries I've written as my alter ego, Catherine Trevor (aka InternetG33k) have garnered more attention than my non-fiction stuff. For the moment, I will... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, our son (seventeen) made me a proud g33k mommy. He was telling me about a new guild he set up with some friends on WoW. He mentioned that they made a tabard, and asked me to guess which symbol they used. After a few failed guesses, he told me, "The one that looks like... Continue Reading →
Back when I wrote a blog for a local paper, I started off as a fictionalized person, with the approval of TBTP (The Powers That Be). I had this idea in my head that I could write a kind of "Diary of V" for the Seacoast, and the adventures of Catherine Trevor (the name I... Continue Reading →
You know those light bulb moments? The ones where you’ve been motoring along through life, doing certain things in a certain way, without considering if it was really the easiest or most efficient way of doing it? Then, reality check - someone or something comes along and shows you a better way? I’ve had many... Continue Reading →
In honor of the best and easiest period I’ve had in forever (Goodbye, iron deficiency! Hello, perimenopause!), I’m reposting another blog entry from yesteryear. I eventually plan to get all my old entries up (somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty or so), and I’m thankful for the millionth time that I saved them all before... Continue Reading →
