Whilst eating a perfectly ripened avocado, I remembered seeing [...]

Sugar is Toxic?

April 2, 2012

I’m suffering from sore back-elbow-knee-lung-itis today so I don’t have much interesting to say on my own. Luckily others around the Web do have items of interest to present, so I shall borrow their research, and while I will not call it my own, I will say amen, amen, amen, and amen. Sugar is Toxic!?

Nummy Banana Muffins

March 30, 2012

21 Jump Street: A Movie Review

March 18, 2012

Friday night my husband and I did the oddest thing. We left the kids with a baby sitter and went to see a movie. Being the perpetually mentally exhausted parents of two boys we didn’t bother looking at movie times until 5:30 that evening. I knew I wanted to see Chronicle. Surely it was playing [...]

Growing A Novel: Revising

March 4, 2012

Last winter I embarked on a journey to see how speedily I could write a 75K novel. Since my first novel took 10 years to write from start to “conclusion” I had something to prove to myself. Was I really that slow of a writer? I’ve since learned the answer to that question is ‘No’. [...]
