Sexy Canning = Botulism
Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead
I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past.

Broken, The Internet Is
So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling
Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies. It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead. I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that. What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically. Yes, yesterday I was…

A Slip and Fall on Snow and Ice
Sometimes I can be really graceful, much like a figure skater floating and gliding over the ice in a blowy sea green monstrosity. Can you imagine it now, as I ran to my car on a rainy night that was unfortunately hiding nasty tricksy invisible ice? It was a glory to be seen! The judges…

She Found Her Voice
I think one of the most interesting and cool things about writing is voice. The day I found my characters voice was a very exciting day for me. It was like she had come to life, like she was talking to me and she had attitude. I think the way that I found her voice…

I need your help!
As a soon to be published author, I’ve really started to think a lot more about the publishing process. Specifically, I need to finalize my book cover, write a book description and decide a price for my ebook. Later I’ll also look to create a print book, but that will take a bit more effort…

Caged inside my own mind With the devil, the monster Longing for escape Clawing at the door like an animal Depression beneath my fingernails Desperate I didn’t ask for this Heart pounds, it’s happening again Flushed red hot, shaking Hazy eyed, surreal Fear, deadly fear, like murder Poised with a knife Frantic Bloody mind, dazed,…

This is Why We’re All Overweight
I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture…

When I walked in the door the other day after work, Mr. VS was grooving around the kitchen while listening to Mister Mister and simultaneously baking chocolate chip cookies. He has a Mister Mister record on vinyl. It was blasting in all its 80’s glory. It was embarrassing. But then I noticed the huge bottles of Jameson…
