Now that I've been blogging three times a week for about nine months, I'm taking the next logical step and working on my readership. Facebook is proving to be a big fail, thanks to their money hungry "promote this post or nobody will ever see it" strong arm tactics algorithm. I don't plan to delete... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Sense8
About a month ago (specifically July 2nd - I know because I had a Facebook conversation with the eldest about it), I watched the first episode of Sense8 on Netflix. By the end of the hour, I'd cried a couple of times, raised an eyebrow once or twice, and couldn't wait to find out what... Continue Reading →
WW – Lammas Painted Bread
This past weekend was so ridiculously hot, and life was so ridiculously interesting, that my thoughts of doing a Lammas ritual disappeared faster than the ice on the back of my neck. However, I wanted to do something to mark the occasion, and since it was time to make another couple of loaves for the... Continue Reading →
MM – Bright side of life
Almost a week into my fiftieth year, and things have been... interesting. Not nearly as interesting as my dear friend thinkum (suffice to say Murphy was not kind to her), but still enough to give me pause. I'm finding that looking for the bright side of every situation helps me stay centered and calm (calm... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Harry Potter and JK Rowling
Today is the thirty-fifth birthday of Harry Potter, and the fiftieth birthday of his creator, JK Rowling. As I mentioned at the beginning of the month, JK was born a mere two days after yours truly, and it makes me ridiculously happy to count her among the extra-special July Leos (special because we're outnumbered by...

WW – Birthday & Lammas & Blue Moon, Oh My!
Since today is my 50th birthday, I was going to be shameless and ask my readers for a gift from my list below. Then I felt guilty. Then I remembered I'll be going in for a surgical procedure in the near future, and decided life is too short to be wishy-washy about wishes. (Wow. Passive... Continue Reading →
Musing Monday – Sold out to Ad Sense
Yes, I've gone to the dark side, 'cause I'm looking to score some cookies... *grin* I spent far too much time this past year agonizing over the pros and cons of installing Ad Sense on my blog. A few days ago, I finally decided to take Nike's advice. As you can see in one of... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Lynda Carter
It comes as no great surprise to me that Wonder Woman (aka Lynda Carter) is a Leo. *grin* When I was a young girl, many thousands of moons ago, I had magazine posters on my bedroom walls of the usual - Andy Gibb, Parker Stevenson & Shaun Cassidy (aka, The Hardy Boys), Rex Smith, and...

Witchy Wednesday – Leo: Wondering Where The Lions Are
Ever since this song by Bruce Cockburn came out when I was little (a thousand years ago), I've always associated it with my favorite sign of the zodiac. Even though, as it turns out, it's not really about lions, I still love it. Today, the sun arrived in the glorious sign of Leo, so I... Continue Reading →
Musing Monday – All about my words
At the beginning of the year, when I dedicated myself to three posts a week, I finally got around to redoing the About Me section of this blog. It's gotten a few hits in recent days, and it occurred to me that I don't think I did a great job of telling my readers exactly... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Team Carter vs Team Shield
Every year I struggle with FOMO when it comes to SDCC. But when I found this outstanding summary of the Marvel DubSmash War between Team Carter and Team Shield over at The Insightful Panda, it took away some of the sting. It started with this simple DubSmash - @clarkgregg #COMICCON2015 A video posted by Chloe... Continue Reading →
