Let me say at the outset that Barb and Vegas are not particularly mixy things. I don’t gamble, I very seldom drink, and I don’t have a lot of extra money to go shopping with. Window shopping is fine up to a point, but past that point, it’s just frustrating because I CANNOT […]

Cats have barfed on the bed FOUR DAYS RUNNING. In an attempt to foil them, before I left for work this morning I put one of the previously-barfed-upon blankets over the new clean one, on the theory that if they did it again, this one was already dirty. Today? No barf. :eyes them […]
If you think that the bread machine is far enough away from the edge of the counter, move it back another couple of inches anyway. Otherwise, bad things will happen. Very bad things.

Go here to take a survey for next year’s Writercon!
Toe is much better today - I can touch it and move it without it hurting. Much. There’s still some achiness down inside, but overall, it’s much improved. I’m using it as an excuse to wear sneakers to work this week anyway. […]
Toe = still hurty, but improving. I can move it a tiny bit without giving vent to undignified wailing. It’s developing a rather large bruise, which is gratifying in that I can show it to people to prove that I really am injured. I can limp around the house all right, and went over […]

Finished the angsty seasonal_spuffy story today with time to spare for revisions, which it badly needs. Off to the betas for vivisection you go! Now we shall see if I can get the other one done on time, too. I got about a third of the illustrations done tonight (they’re not complex) […]

Well, my tax rebate got here. I put half of it towards bills and half towards a new graphics tablet, hunting around till I found one on EBay for considerably less than retail. Frugal Barb is… well, not all that frugal. I’ve been trying to decide if I should start taking the […]
I intended to do all kinds of things today, but after doing Mom’s grocery shopping, I came home, puttered around a bit, thought, “I’ll lie down for a minute,” and ended up sleeping for three hours. I guess I needed it. But I got a good start on the next installment of “Little […]
