• I write books.

    I do! It's true. I have written for all sorts of different audiences. My first book was literary adult fiction and I've written many many books that have fallen into the category "juvenile fiction" and "YA fiction". I talk about my books and writing in general on my other site, which is at www.karenrivers.com. (I don't know how to make that a live link, so you may have to copy and paste.) (Sorry.) THIS site is about me, my hair, my kids, my appliances, and that time that I rode my bike down a cliff and then got stung by a bee. It may not all be appropriately awesome (or even slightly interesting) to kids, so if you are young, LOOK AWAY. That said, there is nothing harmful here, except the occasional swear, which I ask you to edit out with your eyes. Blink blink.

  • Is it safe to eat raw bacon?

    No. You shouldn't eat any raw pork products. You could get trichinosis and no doubt a number of other food-borne illnesses. With the recent change in food safety standards, I'd frankly cook the crap out of any meat product I purchased before eating it. Even if it's already cooked. Seriously. Keep in mind that I am not a raw bacon expert, I just play one on the web.

Spuddling along gracefully, 4.

Posted on April 14th, 2009 by Karen

Time for another one of these, methinks.

1. It’s a beautiful day. That’s got to count for something, right? We’re off to go kite-flying in the park while doing laundry at my Mum’s house. Because no, we still do not have a washer and dryer that is attached in any way to our home and functional. And the laundry is beginning to emit a smell similar to that of low-tide near a sewage outflow.

2. My garage is tidier than it was before we took all the garbage out and heaped it on our lawn.

3. At this exact moment, no one is wiping their snotty nose on my person.

4. I’m reading a book and it’s unexpectedly good. I can’t remember what it is or who wrote it though, so don’t ask.

5. Finally caught up on uploading all the pics from my camera, including these two new faves of my beauties:

PS – If you want to see all the millions of pics I take of my kids on Flickr, you have to friend me first.

    The hardest part about going of to work is missing out on days like this at home with all y’all. Reading of your graceful spuddling thrills me.
