Mini vacation was chock full of sleep and True Blood

Today’s the last day of my mini vacation. Boo! It’s been relaxing. I meant for the weekend to be a writing fest, but I ended up sleeping a lot instead. By sleep, I mean hibernation style sleep. I’d be in the middle of doing something, like writing, and then I’d blink and be asleep. It was unreal. I did write some though, just not as much as I had been planning. Guess I really needed the sleep. »

A return to writing

ZOMG! I. Am. Actually. WRITING. Really. Not just talking about how I need to be doing it either. Typing words n’ stuff. Snoopy Dance time! I had been on this weird writer’s block/exhaustion thing for about 2 years now. The first year I was chronically sick and a walking zombie from what later turned out to be a gluten allergy. Can I just say that I love when my doctors change my diet and make me sicker. »

Making a loaf of gluten-free bread

I got a bread machine for Christmas. Woot! I asked for it because store bought gluten-free bread is not only expensive, it’s pretty gross tasting (at least by what I’ve tried so far). The consistency is cardboard.  I picked out the Breadman because it has a gluten-free setting. I also like that it has a little bit of a space pod feel to it. What I’ve discovered though is that making bread is more like an alchemist »

My Office

I forgot that when I took pics of the throne, I’d also taken a few quick shots of the office itself. So, here’s what my office looks like: Yep, piles of paper, stacks of books, plus I stick a lot of things to the walls. Funny that I didn’t think to capture the windows. It’s the Flatiron so the unseen wall is basically wall o’ glass. I’ll have to take more pics. Here’s the other side of »

A rambly catch up

My last post on here was in September. And then…wow…things got a wee bit busy you could say. I moved. Woo-hoo! I still haven’t finished unpacking and have no idea when I’ll get to that. I’ll share some pics when I’m more settled. But here is Ruki, enjoying the new windows. They have a wider sill so she can really spread out. And here she is with her head in the window. And yes, there is a »

I have the keys! Woo-hoo! :)

I just picked up the keys for my new place. No pics yet. No idea where the camera is. :/ Now that I have the place to myself and don’t have the super and her husband in there with me, I can look around more easily. It’s bigger than I remember which is awesome, of course. The bedroom is a little smaller than the one I have now, but the living room and full-sized kitchen more than »

I am a bad blogger

I work on web for a living, am a writer, and I always have a lot to say. Actually, I’m a rambler. Big time. Yet, when it comes to posting over here, I’m usually at a loss—or lazy. That comes into play too. Will I try to become a better blogger? Probably not. Will I ditch the site? Probably not. I’m too much the web addict to do that. Plus, I like tweaking things over here and »

Daily life, etc.

Yes, I added a new category called Daily Life. No worries. I won’t yammer on about personal stuff. I plan on keeping it to keeping it to things like current reading, writing, and web projects, plus just general amusements here and there. I think it will help swing this blog on over to a more casual tone, in effect making it easier for me to keep up with. If I wait until I finish reading a book »
