I know not everyone has to time to follow my every move*, so I thought I’d help you out a bit.
*Work on this, people. It’s called “Priorities”.
I was a bit of a Posting Fool this week, so here’s a little Round-Up of what happened, what I wrote & where I’ve been:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Last Weekend the picture of my complete list of House Rules (so far) got passed around & around on Facebook, taking me by surprise. I’m sure lots of kids will be annoyed at me for reminding their mothers to not let them light fire to anyone in the house. Sorry, kids!
I wrote a 33-word Love Story.
Added some more books I’ve reviewed to my Amazon.com Book Store.
Shared the 7 disconcerting reasons I was pretty sure I was turning into a Werewolf.
Don’t tell my mom, but I somehow got into a Twitter conversation about vulva jewelry (the kind with vulvae on them, not that you put..um…ouch) with a group of troublemakers @NarragansettNo7, @TheBeardedIris & @MotherhoodWTF (No7 totally started it!), which resulted in my sending a special bday gift to one of them, who decided to thank me by sharing a photo of some..uh…just desserts. I am scarred for life.
Somebody (somebodies??) over at Studio30 Plus nominated me as “Best Mommy Blogger” for the 2012 Boomerang Awards. I have no idea who did it, or what I did to impress them last year, but I am very grateful…and hope you take a chance to check out this community and vote for your favorite tall, blonde, frosting-swilling girl.
Then I got all weepy composing a post about Friendship, which turned into an unintentional love letter to the women in my life.
I jumped in on the Finding the Funny link-up again. You. Must. Go. Every Wednesday.

For the first time on my blog, I went intergalactic on your asses. I’m oddly proud of this fictional piece, even if it confused some readers at first.
Asked people to take pictures of themselves glammed up, doing regular household stuff for the upcoming The Glamouring website. (This is gonna be fun. Trust me.)
Tried to come up with something – anything – even close to equivalent to chocolate.
Wrote a dark & edgy 100-word fiction story, done to a computerized electronica beat.
I also added 1700 words to my book in less than 2 hours one morning, proving that once I got some badass antibiotics in me to kill this almost 3-week-long sinus infection & bronchitis, as well as steroids to open up my long-suffering asthmatic lungs, I can work miracles. I’m fired up, almost snot-free and ready to push through to the end of this chapter (<– ha! Get it? My book? ”chapter”?? Ahh….so funny…)
So there you do. Now you can clear out all those unread bits & bobs in your Reader.
You’re welcome.

Pretty awesome week. I’m already regretting clicking on the “just desserts” photo link. That’s an image that will stay with me for a LONG time.
PS – Congrats on your nomination! Well deserved.
PPS – LOVED A Part of His World. One of my favorite fiction pieces of your’s…and they’re ALL damn good.

Those cupcakes haunt my dreams.
Thanks for the congrats! I am so tickled that someone did that for me.
I’m glad you liked A Part of His World. It was so, so clear to me when I read the prompt, he was so real to me that I had no choice but to write his story. It was fun.
OMG. What a busy week! Sounds like whatever meds you’re on ARE WORKING. Please email me the street name so I can get some to eat with my vulva cupcakes.

Lol, my drugs are unexciting to anyone who doesn’t need assistance breathing. And I don’t think one is allowed to eat vulva cupcakes while taking them.
excellent week…your writing is stronger than ever
