My 2009 Review – Part 2

December 31, 2009 Filed Under: 2009, books are awesome, Boston kicks ass

16. What song will always remind you of 2009?Duh. . . More Than A Feeling. It's obviously not a song from 2009, but Boston is my main character's favorite band, and that song was my happy dance song all year.17. Compared to this time last year, are you:a) happier or sadder?b) thinner or fatter?c) richer or poorer?a) The Intern wrote this amazing post about how you're pretty much just as happy as you're ever going to be, and I think to some extent that is very true. But I think if the same fun with contractors experience had happened last year, it probably would have reduced me to a big … [Read more...]

My 2009 Review- Part 1

December 31, 2009 Filed Under: 2009, Argo the wonder dog, Boston kicks ass, STAY, STELLA

Du Wax Loolu filled out this questionnaire from Sundry, and I thought it might be a neat thing to do too. I'm going to break it up into a few sections, because I'm a little chatty. And I have the hardest time picking the best or my favorite, so I ended up giving more than one answer for some of the questions.1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?I sold a book! And honestly, I still can't believe it! And Courtney and I started The Greenists and got some amazing bloggers to join us.2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?I can't … [Read more...]

Take a look ahead!

I've been really stuck in my head. I've written a couple of posts to put up here and then decided they were stupid. Not that I'm saying this one isn't stupid. I just decided it was high time I put SOMETHING up here. I've been writing, gardening, writing, writing, running and writing. And eating and sleeping (when J isn't keeping me awake by driving imaginary trucks in his sleep) a little too. This lifestyle doesn't really make for the most exciting of blog posts, but I have to tell you, I freaking love my life. My editor is incredible. She gets my main character and what I want this book … [Read more...]

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
