Today was one of those “lost days,” but not the bad kind. The kind where you’re taking time off and the day just kind of...floats by. You can blink and it’s already almost over. Sometimes those days make me anxious. But, not today. Today, I just kind of let it happen,...

Late night tonight. Stayed up watching a show about MURDER together. It’s called “Murder in the Bayou” and it’s preeeetttyyyy fascinating so far. Was on Showtime. Now on Prime. Highly recommend. It’s also raining right now! Always love it when that happens 🥰...

Today was kind of “second Christmas” because today was the day I FaceTimed with my family and we all opened each other’s gifts. To cut down on cost, since the family is already large, and has grown, we do a Secret Santa gift exchange. I got Lena this year, and she...

Merry Christmas, everyone. I hope your day today was wonderful. Mine was. Truly. I miss my family terribly, but I was still able to connect with them over all the distance. And, it’s wonderful to spend Christmas in your own home. I love traveling, too. I love both. We...

Merry Christmas Eve!!! Christmas manages to sneak up on me every year, but this year in particular it really did. It’s usually the trip up north to see family that makes it start to set in, but we’re not able to do that this year, so I didn’t get that prompt....

Five Farms Irish Cream. Kill me now, because I’ve been to heaven. I had it last year, actually, at Scott and Addie’s! Loved it last year, too. But, Liz and I went and got a bottle tonight just to be special, and we watched a holiday edition of GBBO featuring the cast...

Feeling that “finishing” bliss today. Powerful stuff. I love it. I wrapped up a particularly challenging project at work today, or at least the grunt part of that work. Still some stuff to clean up here and there, but it’s majorly done. And right on time. Everything...

So, what am I afraid of? I rarely think about this. I more think of what I *want* and then worry about not getting it. But, I can reverse engineer my fear from that, can’t I? I want to be liked, which means I’m afraid of not being liked. I can remember the sting of...

If I could conquer my fear, I could be a full-time author. If I could conquer my fear, I would write for joy. If I could conquer my fear, I would finish this intro to my new novel, send it to Craig Martelle, and finish the rest of it with him as my mentor and learn...

I cleaned my office today. It involved finally FINALLY packing up all the stuff I want to sell on eBay. It’s done. They’re ready to measure, weigh, and then be posted for sale. I started that project back in...August, I think? Four months later. Jesus. But, it’s...
