My manuscript is officially late. I had to send a sad little pleading email to my editor who is far too nice to me. She graciously gave me until Monday to finish. As of this morning, that was three extra days. Three full 24-hour cycles. So, naturally given this extra time I got right to work.…
We are painting our house. Well, we aren’t painting it exactly. This really nice guy that bears an uncanny resemblance to the actor that played Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movies is painting our house. This little project is happening in three phases. Back of the house first, middle and front. It should be about a week…
I am so awkward. Honestly, sometimes things seem perfectly normal at the time and then I just don’t know what I was thinking. This post is cringeworthy, so be forewarned. If you are uncomfortable with boobs, stop right now and go enjoy your weekend. I have an author page on Facebook. I hate Facebook, but it’s…
I like food. I’ve tried a lot of it. I’m really good at eating and I rarely discriminate. Sushi, falafel, matzo ball soup, chicken and waffles, just waffles.

I’ve only posted twice in April, well this is technically post number three. I’m not sure why. I’ve been working on other things, busy with life, wasting time lusting after Idris Elba. I don’t know. Things have taken priority over the laundry room and honestly I haven’t had much to say. Two posts in one…
I found something called a Color Emotion Key while I was wasting time on Pinterest writing my book that should have been done yesterday. It lists colors and the corresponding emotion or meaning. “The colors you are drawn to tell a great deal about your emotional state,” it says. I’m a sucker for this stuff. I…
A drunk woman sat in front of me on the plane last night. While I should be kind and forget the whole thing, it must be documented. It’s essential to set the scene. We had just arrived in Seattle from London, and this flight was the last stretch of a long travel day. The plane…
I’m so tired of the back window over-share. This post may offend some people and for that I am maybe a little sorry. I’m sure it’s not the first time I’ve offended someone and it certainly won’t be the last, but I need to blog this out. Bumper stickers are a form of expression, I get it.…
