People Watching – Santa Monica, California
So, the hubby and I were at a restaurant last week, in Santa Monica, on a weeknight. And while it was wonderful to spend some alone time together, we had a ton 'o fun people watching. The couple in the booth next to us didn't seriously come to our attention until,...
Two wines, 50% Off
I have a love-hate relationship with the 50% Off shopping cart parked in the wine aisle at my local Pavillions grocery store. Half the time there's nothing there I want to sample; the rest of the time there are deals too good to pass up. This post points up why...
The Wonderful World of Rebecca Zanetti
I found Fated, Rebecca Zanetti's debut book in her Dark Protectors series last year while looking at other paranormal novels that had come out. I read it, loved it, left an Amazon review (which I can't find now, because there are so many - GO, REBECCA!). So it...
Wrangling Recipes: Fish Tacos, Part Two
Here's the first Fish Tacos blog post. But since it had been awhile, I thought I'd give them a try again, with a twist. The hubby found this terrific recipe for panfried fish that was light, crispy, and very tasty. I decided to take that recipe and make fish tacos...

Sorry about the lack of blog posts the last couple of weeks. I'm finding healing takes up a lot of energy! I am, however, getting a lot of work done on my latest book, so that's a plus. But as I get stronger, I am at last cooking again and enjoying it. Getting...
A Week Without the Internet
Well, the title isn't entirely true. I do get the internet on my phone, but there are some places I can't comment, and I find it a lot more tiring to deal with Facebook and websites on my phone than on my laptop. So technically, in the...
The Uterus Chronicles, Episode the Last
Welcome to the last installment of The Uterus Chronicles! If you need to get caught up, here's Episode 1 and Episode 2. As mentioned at the end of Episode 2, I had found the right doctor for me (who ended up being a surgeon), and had scheduled my hysterectomy for...
Three Cheers for Category Romance
It is no secret that I love romance novels. I started reading Harlequins when I was 13, eventually branching out to longer romance novels and then the subgenres of romance as time went on. It's been a LONG time since I've read a lot of category romance. That...
Wine for Summer
In these days of high unemployment and global financial crisis, it’s nice to relax with a bottle of wine that doesn’t break your pocketbook. I’m here to sort out the memorable from the truly awful, and each bottle is under $10 - unless mentioned otherwise. First...
