Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I am drinking a sugary glass of lemonade and eating a Polish dill pickle. Okay, two pickles.
Odd combination, I know. But will it help my insomnia? Because I have exhausted most other possibilities and am nearing the end of both my rope and my creativity.
I’ve tried herbal teas. I’ve tried “sleepytime” tea. I’ve tried orange [...]
It just doesn’t feel right
Monday, June 30th, 2008I got up this morning to find a new chair in my office, and I’m kinda cranky about it.
I like my OLD chair. It’s comfy. It’s the perfect height. The arms are adjustable and I have them in the perfect spot. It has lumbar support. It’s nicely broken in. Take a look… isn’t it a [...]
When is fiction fact?
Friday, November 30th, 2007Someone asked me recently if the fiction I write is based on real events.
I said, “fiction is fiction. Sometimes”.
I’ve given that answer before, and I’ll probably give it again.
The fact of the matter is, some of my fiction is based in reality, and some of it isn’t. Every story a fiction writer creates has some [...]
Halloween sex and chocolate
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007OMG… I ate too much chocolate. No wonder Halloween is my favourite holiday. Those little chocolate bars are just so cute… and they’re begging to be eaten. Coffee Crisp. Kit Kat. Caramilk.
Yum.
How can you say no?
I’ll pay for this indulgence, I know it. Tomorrow, I’ll pay on the bike. I’ll probably have to go ten [...]
Ah, music… it adds spice to the sex life

The impatient, erotic muse
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007I was going to write tonight as soon as we finished screwing our brains out.
I was going to. I had the urge, the inspiration. The need. But it took my husband ten minutes to get out of the office. He had this to put away, that to get out, thing after endless thing to do…
Meanwhile, [...]
‘You’ve got a problem’
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007Why is it that when someone gets mad at you, suddenly you have a “problem”. You need “help”. These same people can behave in inexcusable ways, say insulting things, and generally act like selfish assholes, but you are the one who has a problem.
I think maybe they’re right. Your problem is giving them space in [...]
The way of tea soothes a wounded soul
Monday, October 1st, 2007The way of tea really does soothe a wounded soul. And tonight, it helped me deal with the loss of a friendship that meant something to me.
I’m sitting here, drinking a cup of Japanese green tea - matcha. Although I am not Japanese, and have never been trained in chado - “the way of tea”, [...]
What goes around…
Monday, September 10th, 2007… comes around.
I believe strongly in what many in the “magickal” world call the “rule of three”. What you send out, comes back to you, threefold. You could call it karma, but it’s not something that has an effect on a future lifetime. It impacts this life. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but [...]
Spring fever
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007Ooohh.. it’s a full moon. That must be what’s making the sex extra good. It may be what’s making everything extra good.
Or maybe it’s just that winter took her last, dying gasp, and has made way for glorious spring. I bet that’s it.
I love my home. I think I’ve got spring fever.
