My 11th Blogiversary is this Wednesday, September 7th. I wrote about my decade of (kinda sorta, then really) blogging last year, so this year I'll just sum up a few things that have happened since my 10th. I wrote two paid posts for BlogHer, and two featured (non-paid) posts for SheKnows. My Fandom Fridays morphed... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Foto Friday 26
Just like last Friday, here are my favorite photos of the week for Foto Friday 26. While I don't plan to turn Fandom Fridays into Foto Fridays exclusively, for now, this is a great way to share some of the gazillion pictures I'm taking with my relatively new camera. After getting carried away for the... Continue Reading →
WW – Dark Virgo Moon and Solar Eclipse
Tomorrow, along with a new month, we get a new moon! The Dark Virgo Moon, to be exact. There is also a partial (annular) solar eclipse happening, but since Central Africa is a bit of a commute, I doubt I'll be able to catch it in person. If you're in the same boat, and happen... Continue Reading →
MM – Belated Happy National Dog Day
This past Friday (the 26th) was National Dog Day. Naturally, I spent it at the Veterinary Hospital with our dog, Sandy. He had an infected gland, but thanks to the kind ministrations of the wonderful people there, he's feeling much better. At any rate, here's a bit more about the holiday (which I will hopefully...

WW – Mercury Retrograde August 2016
Fasten your seat belts! The third of four Mercury Retrograde phases in 2016 begins on August 30th and lasts until September 22nd. It starts and ends in the sign of Virgo, an Earth sign associated with perfectionism and problem solving. What does this mean for you? Since my astrology skills are still rusty, I turned...

Microblog Monday – The Bat and the Full Moon
I know my Facebook friends are probably tired of hearing about this, but I felt the need to share my bat and the full moon story here as well. Around dusk on the night of the full moon (August 18th), I took our cat out for his evening constitutional (yes, we take our indoor cat... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Foto Friday 24
Happy World Photo Day! How serendipitous that it landed on a Foto Friday! Just like last Friday, here are my favorite photos of the week for Foto Friday 24. While I don't plan to turn Fandom Fridays into Foto Fridays exclusively, for now, this is a great way to share some of the gazillion pictures... Continue Reading →
WW – Black Cat Appreciation Day 2016
Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day 2016! While our cat Sid (short for Obsidian) would argue that this should be every day, today is the official celebration. I wrote about this last year (and scored a featured spot on BlogHer for it!), but since it falls on a Witchy Wednesday this year, I thought I'd give... Continue Reading →
MM – ZK Snyder’s Notebook Method
During the process of creating links for last Monday's post, I stumbled upon Zilpha Keatley Snyder's website (author of my personal favorite, The Velvet Room, among many others). One of the first things I noticed was a section called, "To Fellow Writers." I clicked on it, saw it contained a reprint of a 1993 article... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Foto Friday 23

WW – Full Aquarius Moon
On Thursday, August 18th, the Full Aquarius Moon arrives, and brings with it a kinda sorta, itsy bitsy, tiny almost, little bit of an eclipse. To suss out what this means, I once again scoured the interwebz for people more well-versed in astrology than me. First, a little blurb about the non-event eclipse from Astrology... Continue Reading →
