Remember Junior, the German Shepherd who looked like Argo and desperately needed a home? Well, after the amazing folks at Wooftown Rescue saved him from being euthanized, took him to the vet, and boarded him with a pet sitter, Junior was adopted and is now, happily, in his forever home. Of course, while I was checking in on Junior, I couldn't help but notice all the other beautiful pups who need homes on the Wooftown site, so I figured I'd start posting about adoptable pups from time to time.Here's a little info about Spider, a medium-sized Border Collie Mix:"Hi!!! My name is Spider, I am 1 … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesdays – Totally out of character. . .
100 Things – 95-97
95. I was obsessed with 21 Jump Street reruns in junior high school and secretly wanted to be an police officer like Judy Hoffs - a confession that makes people who know me well laugh hysterically. Despite the fact that I have horrible aim and am prone to bouts of impressive clumsiness, I still think I'd have made a kick-ass undercover cop. Plus, since I still get asked when my mom will be home by the meter man, I totally could have had a long career doing drug busts in high schools. 96. I had a crush on Doug Penhall, not Tom Hanson.97. I finished my taxes last week due, in part, to coffee, … [Read more...]
Book Trailer Fridays – Christina Meldrum and Amaryllis in Blueberry
My Fridays have tended toward hectic lately, so I haven't put up any trailers in several weeks, but now Book Trailer Fridays is back, starting with Amaryllis in Blueberry by Christina Meldrum! Here's a description of the book:Meet the Slepys: Dick, the stern doctor, the naive husband, a man devoted to both facts and faith; Seena, the storyteller, the restless wife, a mother of four, a lover of myth. And their children, the Marys: Mary Grace, the devastating beauty; Mary Tessa, the insistent inquisitor; Mary Catherine, the saintly, lost soul; and finally, Amaryllis, Seena's unspoken favorite, … [Read more...]
A smattering of links
Lately, at the end of the day, I feel like I've run out of words. I spend my days either writing or thinking about writing while I do other things, and then my brain is just plain done, and all I can manage is an hour or so of Top Gear before I fall asleep. Everything else just kind of bounces around in my head. It's not an unpleasant thing at all, but it means I owe some friends a phone call or an e-mail, and it also means that there are some things I've been meaning to share that I haven't gotten around to yet, so here goes.It's pretty sunny in Rochester today, but we've got lots of rain … [Read more...]
Junior, an 11yo German Shepherd in Rochester
I saw a posting about Junior on a friend's Facebook page this morning. This could so easily be a picture of Argo, and it's breaking my heart. Stella would have a fit if I brought another dog home, and it wouldn't be good for anyone involved. But I wanted to at least help get the word out on Junior, because he needs a home very very fast. Here's a little bit about Junior:"11 year old German Shepherd named Junior. Junior is neutered and was surrendered to us because the owner was moving to a place where pets weren’t allowed. This boy is sweet and was being web fostered because he was very … [Read more...]
100 Things – 91-94
Oh my gosh! I didn't mean to disappear from my blog like that. Since I've made Tuesdays and Thursdays writing-only days, I've had a little trouble trying to cram the rest of the week into Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But I am getting tons of writing done. Which is good, since I'm, you know, a writer and all. I am, however, a writer who does not have a single clean towel in the house at the moment. Anyway, to get back into the swing of things, here's a few more items for my 100 things list.91. When I'm putting away dishes, glasses have to go in the cabinet upside down and mugs go in right … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine’s Day & Giveaway Winners!
Happy Valentine's Day! I've managed to keep my absurdly ridiculous sweet tooth in check and make it through this holiday season without eating any conversation hearts (oh, I do love conversation hearts) so I'm calling it a win. Now I just have to survive the season of Easter Candy (ie. yellow chick Peeps in the microwave) and I'm good until October. So anyway, where ever you are, I hope you had a great Valentine's Day and either managed to avoid eating too much candy or had a good day because you ate way too much candy. It all depends on what your goals are. Right?The winners of a copy … [Read more...]
Book Trailer Fridays – Kate Ledger & Remedies
I had the chance to tell you a bit about Kate Ledger's The Dogs' Book of Romance the other day when I announced the Valentine's Giveaway (have you entered yet? Go enter!). But I didn't get to talk much about Remedies, Kate's debut novel, so I figured this would be the perfect Book Trailer Friday pick! REMEDIES is a Self magazine book pick, an Indie Next List Notable Book, an Ingram Premier Pick, a "Community Read" selection of the Twin Cities Jewish Book Fair, and earned a starred review from Publisher's Weekly, who said: "Ledger's accomplished debut offers a compelling view of married life … [Read more...]
