How NOT to use Facebook if you’re a writer.
Lately, there’s been a pretty aggravating trend of writers not using Facebook the way it was intended (as a pretty good social networking site) but as…well… A $2 whore. This trend seems to be predominant amongst newbie and self-published writers,
Busy busy busy.
What a crazy, mixed-up year last year was. Everything that happened (good and bad), new releases, and trying to survive life in general. I think with the fibromyalgia and hubby retiring this year (he’s 21 years older than me) I’m
Happy freaking holidays (or how to torture your dog).
Well, there’s one good thing about having fibromyalgia I suppose–it forces you to learn patience and hone your sense of humor. It also forces you to celebrate your accomplishments instead of focusing on what you didn’t do. Like today, go
Yes, soup for you…
I’ve been in a soupy mood. It’s been chilly (now COLD) and with my current fibro flare, cooking is down at the bottom of my priority list. Late last week I threw together a “Thanksgiving Use Up the Leftovers” soup
Happy Thanksgiving!
I know everyone posts melancholy “what I’m thankful for” posts today. But…well, you know me. *LOL* Actually I am pretty darn tootin’ thankful overall. This was a suck year in many ways (we lost two of our dogs, my health
Slowing and steady (although chomping at the bit).
So I’ve done something that I think has even startled the heck out of my hubby: slowed down. Being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, being put on Cymbalta, what really is some serious medication for it (when you’re taking a medicine they
And a new chapter begins.
So I went to see my GP doc last week. The past several months I’ve been feeling lousy, no energy, pain levels going up, etc. And with a history of cancer in my family, and considering I’ll be 40 next
Back on the (Fly)wagon.
Hi, my name is Lesli (or Tymber, depending on how you know me), and I…am not the world’s best housekeeper. *whew!* No, I’m far from being eligible for my own Hoarders episode, let me clarify that right now. No rotting
iPad notes and comparisons (part 1)
I’ve been playing with my new toy, our 32g iPad. We have the one that’s Wi-Fi only, because at home we have a wireless router. Some notes – if you’re like me and want to sync your Google contacts and
New toy!!
Happy anniversary to us, we are now the proud owners of a 32g iPad. I’m working on a comparison to it versus my small Toshiba laptop, Kindle, nook, and Sony reader.
Strum…strum…strum…wait. Pluck…strum…damn.
Well, can you tell I’m taking guitar lessons? I don’t know if that makes me a masochist, sadist, or both. Fingers hurt like hell (that line in “Summer of ’69” takes on a whole new personal meaning now) but I’m
FAQ: When will you write more Triple Trouble books?
🙂 I love having this “problem.” (No, I don’t consider it a problem. *LOL*!) One of the most common questions I’m getting is, “When will you write the next Triple Trouble book? I’m working on it! *LOL* Here’s the deal
Glass half-full.
Well, a follow-up appointment to the doctor gave some good news, some troubling, but overall not bad. One test we all suspected would be positive turned out negative (good), and the biopsy turned out to show “pre-cancer.” Which is terrifying,
Six little words.
There are few phrases that can strike terror into a woman’s heart faster than the six little words: “Your pap smear came back abnormal.” I have raised a child with spina bifida. For the past fifteen years, I’ll be honest,
