And now, for more ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU DIDN’T ACTUALLY ASK.

Oh my gosh! They are leaving the mansion! And never going back! Instead they are going to take a roadtrip in RVs! And they have to pretend to be thrilled about this! And they aren’t! But they put on their game faces, our girls, and pretend that DANG IT, they are so excited. [...]

I know it is not Friday, so stop being such stickler for precision dating. It’s people like you that make the trains run on time and such forth. Well, good for you. Certainly it’s nothing to do with the likes of me, who actually have to look at a calendar to ascertain what [...]

What I Am Doing Right Now Is Not What I Am Really Doing Right Now. Which Is To Say That I’m Writing The Book, I Really Really Am.
Posted on January 20th, 2010 by Karen

The Bachelor: Episode 3. Seriously, what?
Posted on January 19th, 2010 by Karen
I’ll admit from the outset that I’ve had a really weird week and weird things have happened, mostly that involve my legs being numb. I don’t like it when weird things happen to any of my body parts so I may have been distracted and annoyed even before this show began, but at the [...]

Being a Parent is Awesometastic. Sometimes. Other times? Not so much.

I am going to give you a brief summary of my week. Why? Because I can. I have a blog. I have a story. Well, sort of. I mean, it’s not an actual story because the plot doesn’t move along and there is a whole big fat lot of repetition, [...]

The Bachelor: Episode 2. I Cringe, Therefore I Am Still Watching.
Posted on January 12th, 2010 by Karen
You know how some people like to watch horror movies? I never got that. I mean, I have no desire to watch someone being gorily (is that a word?) chopped into small pieces and then eaten or hacked up with a chainsaw and not eaten or really any variety of being cut and consumed [...]

Bless me, Internetz, for I have some stuff to confess. Five things. Because I feel like everything on this blog needs to be grouped in Fives.

1. I took a long break over Christmas in which I did not do a SINGLE WORD of writing. Not a bit. I shopped. I wrapped. I procrastinated. I did not write. AND NOW I AM REFRESHED! Damn it, I am. Totally refreshed. Sort of. [...]

Five Thing Friday! A Day Late and A Dollar Short.
Posted on January 9th, 2010 by Karen
It’s time once again to return to our regularly scheduled programming, which is to say that it’s time for me to remember to do Five Thing Friday a day late and in a rush. It’s January, which means that it’s time to shake off the sloth-like habits I developed over Christmas break and get [...]
