  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    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

    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. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    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

    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…

  • Bring Me To Life – New Fiction in the works!

    Bring Me To Life – New Fiction in the works!

    After more than 13 years I’ve started writing again and I picked up a story I started back in 2010. It’s a gritty, dark, sexy modern fairytale – a Sleeping Beauty reboot inspired by sex, drugs & rock n’ roll! Back in 2010 I was inspired by Evanescence’s song of the same name as well…

  • My Endometriosis Story

    My Endometriosis Story

    Having a chronic illness is cool. Having several is even better. It’s especially fun when you think one of them might be gone and then it REARS its ugly head yet again and brings you right back to square one, living Groundhog Day all over again. So let’s talk about my Endometriosis story, which I…

  • The Mirror Versus The Mind

    This little quote is from my novel and I think it’s something I often think while looking in the mirror.  I’m not sure about you but sometimes it feels like I am not my body.  I am not the person I see in the mirror.  And my mind doesn’t conform to whatever image I present…

  • Art and Self Criticism

    Just a FYI that Angst is featured over at the Book Maven today.  She was kind enough to read my novel and do a review.  Check out her page here to see what she thought… When I first started writing Angst, I had a certain book cover in mind.  It was a piece of artwork,…

  • Be “Real” With Me

    I was nominated for the Reality Blogger award by Time to Write.  It’s sweet to be nominated (Seriously Thank you!), and although I’m not a very good team player, I’m gonna be a good sport and answer some fun questions! If you could change something, what would you change? I would change my day job. …

  • My Mind: My Prison, My Freedom

    I want to escape. Get away.  The truth is, in my mind I am free.  FREEEEEEE.  No one can control what I think.  No one can stop me from swearing a blue streak in my mind.  No one can stop me from bashing all the people who piss me off inside my head.  No one…

  • Reading, Writing and Graphic Design

    This post is going to be such a mis-mash because I’ve got so much on my mind today!  First off, it’s reading.  Yesterday I ignored all the things I was supposed to do online, like redoing my cover for Createspace or writing on the blog or writing anything at all, like the idea that was…

  • Drunk Boyfriend

    Alright boys and girls, enough of this silly shit around these parts.  God, you’d think someone else stepped in for me these last few posts with how happy and positive things have been.  Gross eh!? So, since I happen to be home today and with nothing better to do than post to WordPress, I thought…

  • Your Feelings are Not Worth a Life: Walter Palmer

    Your Feelings are Not Worth a Life: Walter Palmer

    I feel I have to say something about Walter Palmer. I am sickened by this story, truly sickened by humanity and our egotistical wastefulness of a beautiful creature’s life. I truly believe that people who have some kind of craving or unrestrained desire to…

  • Big Game Hunter: Why?!

    Big Game Hunter: Why?!

    Now and then I see stories online about 2 things that catapult me trebuchet-style into a burning waste arc of madness. Two of them that have recently flung me into rage mode are are Big Game Hunters and the Ivory Trade. Why? WTF?!!!…

  • Aliens: Not as Scary

    Aliens: Not as Scary

    When I was a kid I was terrified of aliens. In the fifth grade our teacher showed us all these films about people seeing flying saucers and being abducted (and probed *shudder*) by big headed aliens in remote mountainous regions. (Why 5th grade…

  • Black Friday Crusades

    Black Friday Crusades

    Hello All on this lovely Black Friday!  I’m here to tell you why Black Friday is the WORST invention EVER!!  I feel a little rant coming on. I think it’s pretty funny that we’ve got this holiday where we’re supposed to be loving each other, spending time with family, giving and being thankful and then…

  • Nature’s Fail:  Exercise

    Nature’s Fail: Exercise

    I’m really intent on blaming someone (even if it’s not actually a person) for my problems. My latest conjecture is that it’s nature’s fault that I don’t exercise and I’m going to prove to you (as if I’m writing a geometry proof) that nature is in fact to blame for the fact that I’m lazy…

  • I Solved Climate Change and Silenced the Alien Laughter

    I Solved Climate Change and Silenced the Alien Laughter

    Yup, you heard it here first, I have, with my puny little brain, solved Climate Change in one fell swoop (what does that mean?).  I’m for serious right now (I love saying that). For realz. It’s essentially pretty simple and is called: Working from Home. If I asked it as a question and you said…

  • How To Second-Hand Shop Like a Boss

    How To Second-Hand Shop Like a Boss

    I’m a big second-hand shopper. I love it. It’s like Raiders of the Lost Ark to me. Well…I guess…Raiders of the Lost Closet where you can find one of a kind things without spiders all over your back or huge boulders attempting to crush you. Plus you’ll pay cheap money for cute things and ALSO it’s…
