  • The Blame Game

    I am now fully ensconced in the horror known as SUMMER BREAK WITH THE KIDS. *cue bloodcurdling scream* We don’t do Day-care. To be fair, Mommy doesn’t work, so she should, you know, be vaguely responsible with the household expenses and Day-care ain’t cheap.

  • An Introvert Trying to Sell … Anything

  • Mercurial Monday is Coming!

    Book 2, Draft 3 is done! >>cue the heavenly choir>> *Stage Manager scuttles out and whispers in Katty’s ear. Katty clears here throat.*  Ahem. Apparently the “heavenly choir” ditched to grab a pizza and lattes. Moving on. “Mercurial Monday” is something I did on my personal blog, and it seemed to be well accepted, so…
