I suck at baseball and I hated dating tho I got a great husband out of it. But poetry is cool, jobs are handy, and taxes are the worst but I pay them anyway. Now please excuse me while I go use the bathroom. Alone. (GTF out of here with this crap. Do we really have to talk about it?)

I'm not sure whether to be encouraged or appalled to see most of my favorite books getting scathing Goodreads reviews. It's stiffened my resolve to NOT read those reviews when my book comes out. In any case, I'm sure the negative ones will be there, but I'll be in great company!

I should be working. I should be editing. But how can I focus on anything practical and sensible when this new little guy has joined our household and 24/7 snuggles are his desire?

I love it when a photo clearly has a whole story behind it, just waiting to be told…

“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.” ― Toni Morrison

bumblebees are inspirational creatures. Everyone who sees them thinks they have no business flying, science agrees they have no business flying, and they fly everywhere anyway because they want to fly and don't give a damn what you think. Be a bumblebee

Kindest wishes this St. Patrick’s Day to the enthusiastic young man outside Shenanigans Irish Pub who noted I was not wearin’ the green tonight, and gave me a string of beads. Slainte! 😆☘️
