Road Trip Wednesday: August!

I’m sick. Really sick. Geek Husband is sick. Really sick. Baby Caveman is healthy, happy, energetic, and climbing the walls. This is why there have been no posts of late.

Fast Five

1. I first met The Standards in July of 1997. I was just a wee lass back then, but I remember being total taken by their music and stage presence. Over the past 14 years, I have come to know them personally and grown to love them immensely. These are some seriously kind, wonderful, talented people, [...]

Road Trip Wednesday: writer’s block

I’m back! Sorry for the bloggy absence lately. Geek Husband, Baby Caveman, and I went to Salt Lake City this weekend to spend some time with Geek Father-in-law, who had his esophagus removed at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

The perfect birth experience

It’s different for every person, that’s for sure, but I have to say: I’m pretty much sure I had the perfect birth experience with Baby Caveman. Today the little monster and I took a walk to the birth center to visit my midwife and the office staff. It’d been a while since we’d been there [...]

WIP Wednesday: a sneak peak!

Remember how I took the month of May off from writing? Well, I didn’t quite make it the whole month. The time I took away from Incubus helped me realize something: I just wasn’t enjoying writing anymore. I know, I know, writing isn’t always sunshine and daisies, but it should not be unpleasant ALL. THE. TIME. [...]

Home again, home again, tralala

Ahhhh… We had a wonderful vacation playing for a week at Seeley Lake. I love that place SO much. Winter was so long and late this year that the water was colder than it normally is at the end of July, so we spent less time IN the lake than we wanted, but we still [...]
