Happy Halloween!

31OctoberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

I can’t type those words without hearing, in my mind, the throaty voice of our hand-grabbing candy dish.Â Ah, the joys of mis-spent money. The family had a good crop of decorated pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns this year.Â Below you see my free-hand cat, and our son’s carefully carved ‘BSA is Cool’.Â The latter should be

An Addition to the Blogroll and Some Cool Bandaids

28OctoberSuzanne2 CommentsJust for Laughs, Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers

I’m adding Being Cindy to my blogroll–welcome!Â Cindy has the good grace to think like I do–that YA fantasy is an awesome genre to enjoy just now–and also writes lovely poetry.Â More than that, though, Cindy exudes sunshine.Â So on cloudy days, or whenever, check out her blog. I’m also linking to some really cool

Talking With My Mouth Shut

This afternoon we were eating a late lunch of pizza, (incidentally, it was the freezer half-cheese, half-pepperoni kind, which IÂ can recommend for picky families) and my ear/jaw gave a painful pop. Being hungry and keen on pizza, I kept eating.Â But the pain only became worse, ’til it felt like I was doing the equivalent

As Seen From My Son

14OctoberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

I was about to launch myself at another wall that was crying out for newÂ paint, but my usual painting clothes were in to be washed. Catch up laundry…get the walls painted.Â No contest there. I pulled out a pair of jeans with no knees and an old shirt I’ve never liked, and got to work.

Best and Worst Divided by Foldable Green

22SeptemberSuzanneJust for Laughs, Rumblings

I’ve never actually watched the Emmy’s–nor the Oscar’s, for that matter–but I find it amusing to sometimes click over theÂ red carpet pics and the lists ofÂ best and worst dressed.Â I find it entertaining becauseÂ the division between these two lists has always seemed a bit arbitrary. Look for yourself, and see what I mean. HeadingÂ the best

Hospital Phobia and Thoughts on Scrubs

20SeptemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Our six-year-old has recently decided that going to the hospital is tantamount to dying.Â ProbablyÂ in the worst way. I’m not sure what led to this decision.Â The fact that she worried over three great grandparents last year, all of whom made regular visits to the hospital, and all of whom died within a period of

Misbegotten Treasure

19SeptemberSuzanneJust for Laughs

In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, today I ditched the car and spent some four or five hours treasure huntingÂ on foot.Â During the course of said treasure hunt, I encouraged my young swashbuklers toÂ mess with the fountain while IÂ daydreamed of myÂ book-bound friends’ celebration of Pirate Day, fedÂ the whole crewÂ fried chips and fishÂ for lunch,

Hauling Away the Uhaul

8SeptemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs, Rumblings

Sadly, I did not get photos.Â You will all have to stretch your imagination tall and long in order to wrap it around the mental image of a 24 foot uhaul–backed into my driveway. Now, if said Uhaul had been mine, that would be alright.Â If it had belonged to a sister, cousin, or neighbor,

Blowing Kisses to the Online World

2SeptemberSuzanneBlogging, Just for Laughs

Yeah, I’m back!Â Hello everyone! You may not have missed me, but I’ve been in withdrawal.Â We moved over a week ago, and other than one short moment of nauseatingly-slow dial-up internet, I’ve been entirely unplugged.Â No emails.Â No blogging.Â No feedback on writing.Â No chatting with online friends. It was anÂ electronicÂ wasteland. The amusing part

When The Ninjas Get it Right

25AugustSuzanne4 CommentsJust for Laughs, Martial Arts

You might be wondering how I’m managing to blogÂ on ourÂ moving day, and the answer would be— I’m a Ninja! Okay, not even a wanna-be.Â But I am a fan of Ask a Ninja, and someday I plan to send in a question.Â Right after I get my six foot plot of earthÂ picked out and and
