Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
Hubby recently hooked up my old external hard drive to my computer, and I've been working on getting important files copied over, and other files deleted. I spent some time this afternoon horrifying our youngest (fourteen) by showing her the tons and tons of selfies she took with my camera when she was younger, then... Continue Reading →
Because we’re a homeschooling family, we get to hang out together and have family time on a regular basis. Even so, special family nights have evolved over the course of the years, out of a sense of want instead of need (which I find unbelievably cool). Our current family night is Sunday. Whatever we’re doing,... Continue Reading →
In honor of the best and easiest period I’ve had in forever (Goodbye, iron deficiency! Hello, perimenopause!), I’m reposting another blog entry from yesteryear. I eventually plan to get all my old entries up (somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty or so), and I’m thankful for the millionth time that I saved them all before... Continue Reading →

I call this bit of creative writing, set in a fantasy land where my depression is almost entertaining, Melancholutopia. Part one is here - now for Melancholutopia Two. Chapter 2 The first royal kidlet to arrive was Cinderella. The princess, who went by the name of Rose (her surname was Glaacis, and her middle name... Continue Reading →
In 2009, one of the multi-talented members of our writing group organized a program called, “Inspired Words.” The idea was to use a piece of art in a local museum as the inspiration for our monthly writing prompt. We were also given the opportunity, along with the community at large, to read our results at... Continue Reading →

Oops, I did it again. Oh, and apologies for the ear worm. Every fall, I decide this will be the year I take tons of amazing foliage pictures, and two seconds later, all the trees are bare. I call it my Fall foliage fail. I usually manage to snap a couple before getting distracted by... Continue Reading →
I realized this morning that my posts so far this month for NaBloPoMo have belied my blog's tagline of, "G33k. Witch. Wordsmith." I have the "Wordsmith" covered, but I should give some equal time to the other two, before they complain. So here's my something witchy. If you haven't guessed by now, I am Wiccan....

I was poking around my computer files this morning, procrastinating cleaning things up a bit before catching up on some NaNo writing (my goal today is 4,000 words. *gulp*). I stumbled upon the very first prompt I sent out to my old writing group, called "The Black Velvet Box." It was supposed to be 500... Continue Reading →
A month or two ago, I heard the song, “Tangled Up in You” by Staind, and immediately fell in love with it. I thought about posting it on my hubby’s Facebook wall for our 25th anniversary, so I went looking for an official video. Apparently there isn’t one, but I found this lyric video -...

I call this bit of creative writing, set in a fantasy land where my depression is almost entertaining, Melancholutopia. Chapter 1 Once upon a time, there lived a princess who believed as soon as she met her true love, married him, and had many royal kidlets, she’d live happily ever after. Belle’s library and an...
