It's Saturday night at 8:30 and I'm a little blah. Hubby's not home (dude, you left for the shop at 2pm and it's 8:30 and not even a call about dinner? Thanks!) and I've been working on an article about Medieval Warhorses all afternoon. Reading and noting and reading and noting and outlining...now I'm at… Continue reading Blah

I took my furfaced dog to the hiking park by our house and did I take the measley 1k, not quite a mile easy hike? Ha! I poo-poohed the wimpy walk and we went for the gusto baby...the full 5k hike through hill and dale (and the occasional mosquito, mud, and pond that of course… Continue reading I Am Wonder Woman!

My husband is at the shop for the evening. Therefore I get Steel Magnolias without bitching, surfing the net, eating brownies (well, that's not really something I should be doing, but mmm!), and generally being a girl.I adore this movie. The way Weezer's such a cranky old bitch who grows tomatoes for the neighborhood because… Continue reading Some Enchanted Evening…

Yup. The current Pope is a backwards, bigoted, sexist, corrupt idiot. Let me elaborate.The Pope, in yet another demonstration of his disconnect with people, has essentially said, publicly, that sex can be like a drug without the "consequences" of preganany. Then to top iot off he said that if your spouse doesn't fear pregnancy his… Continue reading The Catholic Pope is an Idiot.

It's 7:39pm on Wednesday night, and I find myself paying very close attention to this moment. A typical married-at-home-boring evening. Furface is sitting behind my chair as I write this, panting a little in his wild hope that I'll either throw the ball or let him outside to play with his Pomeranian puffball girlfriend next… Continue reading

By this time I'm sure you've heard the story, as it's all over American news (as opposed to BBC, which is where I try to get most of my world news since they have a more balanced world view).A man, if you can call him that, in Austria was recently caught after holding his own… Continue reading I can’t think of a pithy title for this.

That's right...and I DIDN'T fall down! And I remembered ALL the choreography! Woohoo!! It actually was pretty fun and not as nervewracking as the first time Nic and I danced the Guild show. Don't know if that's because we had more people in our group (as opposed to a duet) or because I was more… Continue reading It’s done!

It's Horse Expo weekend. It's also the weekend my parents are making the final move to Los Angeles and the weekend Nic and I are in the Guild of Oriental Dance annual show. Yeah. I'm not really ready for any of the above, to be honest.Bellydance was not my usual positive-body-image class last night, for… Continue reading Vacation!

Yeah. that's really all I can say. Thank any and all deities that I might actually be able to catch up on my sleep this weekend.Only one more week until the Guild show. I get sick just thinking about it...I'm SO NOT READY.

Ok, maybe not HEART, but I have been completely swept away. I must say, these books are even more engaging than Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar novels, and for me that's saying something. Seriously.If you have any ANY interest in fantasy novels I highly recommend Anne Bishop's Black Jewels series. Definitely not for children, this adult fantasy… Continue reading Feeding the Ravenous Imagination
