Interview with Sharon Gerlach
Today, I'm interviewing my partner in crime (fighting), in business, and in all things writing. Sharon Gerlach is an extraordinary writer and has always astounded me with her attention to detail and description, an area I'm severely lacking in when I write. Her character development is awesome, her sense of humor is quirky, and her… Continue reading Interview with Sharon Gerlach
One More Time!
I'm moving again next weekend. Yep, you read that correctly. *sigh* Someone please shoot me already. The cool part? ~ Newly remodeled apartment, no pet deposit, no cleaning deposit, and it's on the ground floor. The bad part? ~ I'm moving again. ~ There's also the fact that it's ALL tile floors. Have I mentioned… Continue reading One More Time!
Yorkshire Pudding
This recipe is an old one, passed down to me by my maternal grandmother, passed to her by who knows in my ancestral line. G-ma Ethel always made this when she'd slow-cook a roast, and it's a family favorite. It is, however, quite greasy, so we didn't have it often. This is a fairly simple… Continue reading Yorkshire Pudding

RIP
Jinxie G passed away last week, February 9th, 2011, from multiple complications, one of which included her 135-lb. malamute Moon and a staircase. It appears that while Jinxie attempted to control the dog’s descent down the stairs, Moon decided it would be a good time to learn how to fly, being that she’s a “special”… Continue reading RIP

WARNING: I am going to bitch and complain in this post. If you don't want to read that kind of crap, turn away now. Dare I explain last Saturday to you? I’m not certain you’d want to hear about it because I’m going to bitch and swear like a sailor. Then again, maybe you’ll enjoy… Continue reading 21 Hours of Moving
