1. Is there anything more tired-making than a poor sick baby? Baby Caveman had his first official cold two weeks ago. We finally recovered from that and everything was great. Then two nights ago he was having a real rough time. Around three in the morning he felt hot so I took his temperature – [...]
I know, I know. I usually do Fast Five posts on Fridays, but I figure since I haven’t blogged in, like, for-ever, I can get away with doing one on this lovely Monday as well. 1. New! If you’re reading this via email or an RSS feed, you can’t see it, but say hello to [...]
1. Bleck. I *think* I am finally winding down from being sick after two weeks. It was crazy: I woke up last Monday feeling unwell. Then I spent all last week achy and shaky and dizzy and nauseated. About Thursday Geek Husband got a cold. Then Saturday Baby Caveman got a cold (which was WAY [...]
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, [...]

1. Music, music, music. I don’t always (actually almost never) listen to music while I’m actually writing, but a good song can inspire a scene, an emotion, an entire book. When I get jammed, I spent some quality time with my tunes. Eventually something gives and I can get writing again. 2. Read!! Nothing inspires [...]

…from Paper Hangover! 1. Anything by Sarah Dessen You didn’t think I was going to list my favorite summer reads without a mention of Sarah Dessen, did you? Her books are the perfect summer-time reads. I especially recommend the ones that take place during the summer: That Summer Keeping the Moon This Lullaby [...]
1. Okay, this is the last time I’ll mention this, because it’s over tonight, but don’t forget to enter to win the signed copy of Wings by Aprilynne Pike. This book is so fun, y’all. You’ll love it. And Aprilynne is SO nice and SO funny. But she doesn’t come with the book, so you’ll [...]
