Time is Winding Down

Hockey season is over for my daughter as of a week ago. No more practices two and three nights a week. No more traveling throughout the state of Wisconsin every weekend for two to three games each weekend. No more unexpected expenses (I swear, if I hear the words "I need tape" one more time!!!!).


My little sister is getting married in two days. Her bouquets are done. Wedding favors are done. Decorations are done. I actually have time to myself.


I started typing up what I have so far in Saving Avalon. I'm shocked that I ended up having much more than I thought I did! The writing process is coming along nicely, and I'm hoping to have the book finished by the end of tax season! (At least the writing and typing part. Editing takes more time.)


The more I work on Saving Avalon, the more I am getting into the book. It took forever! None of the books that I have written so far has taken me this long. Summer Love was about two months (and was actually released a year ago TODAY!). Autumn Goodbye was just as fast, and the Self Inflicted series seemed to have written itself! I have been hacking my way through this fantasy novel since August.

Music = Life!

Ok anyone who knows me personally knows how important music is to me. About six years ago, I guess you could say I had a crisis of faith. My faith was music. I had lost a really close friend of mine to suicide, and since he was the drummer of my favorite local band, I had no desire to listen to music anymore. In the car, my stereo was off. If my boyfriend at the time was playing music at home, I would put on noise canceling headphones just to drown out the sound. I didn't want to hear anything that would remind me of my friend. Of course, being a drummer in a popular rock band, his friends and family put together a benefit. Several amazing local bands played that day. I couldn't not go. During the first three bands, I sat outside. I couldn't bring myself to jump back into the world of live music. The bassist of one of the bands stepped outside for a cigarette between sets. We started talking. Stu will never know how much he helped me that day. We talked about absolu

Facebook Rant

Okay the only thing worse than experiencing a death in the family is reading about it on facebook. My grandma passed away at 7 this morning. About 9:30, I read a post on facebook from my cousin. No one thought to call me. No, let's let everyone find out about it on facebook. Sounds like a great idea. Or not. Seriously, it's freaking bullshit. I'm pissed! This is the THIRD family member that I had to find out about the death ON FACEBOOK! Losing my grandma is bad enough. Finding out about it by reading words on a page that have already been read by hundreds of people BEFORE FAMILY WAS EVEN NOTIFIED is not the way to find out about it. I saw comments on numerous facebook pages saying "sorry for your loss" or along those lines before I finally got a hold of a cousin. This happened at 7! I found out at 9:30. It's almost 11 now and my own mother STILL hasn't said a word other than commenting on a picture asking if my kids were okay. Um. NO ONE IS OKAY. T

Parents Live in Fear...

For the past week, children in my hometown and surrounding areas have been forced to spend their school days in a soft lockdown. While the younger children don't really realize they are even in lockdown other than missing out on recess, the older children know exactly what is going on. For a week, since the gun store in Janesville, Wisconsin was robbed, these children have been robbed of their freedom. Taking recess away from these children when it is finally warm enough to go outside and play is a nightmare for them! I, like many other parents in my area, kept my children home from school a couple of those locked down days. The first day that I kept them home, I actually had a child throw a complete fit because she couldn't get a stress ball if she missed school that day. Well, is that stress ball more important than your life? I think not dear child. The suspect has finally been found. Parents can breathe a little easier knowing there is one less madman on the streets mak
