Easy & Quick Lollipops for Christmas – Jolly Rancher

Christmas Lollipops

*Update* I have finally added photos to these great Christmas Lollipops! In another life (long before I became a food blogger) I was a preschool teacher. Probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone, especially when people learn I have 5 kids. Yes, I do love kids. My children on the other hand, [...]

Stocking Stuffers for Teen Girls

wonderful-christmas-stockings-wallpapers-1024x768

Girls tend to be a bit easier to shop for at holiday time, and I have never actually figured out why that is. Do we have that diverse of interests that it makes it easier? Or are we higher maintenance? (don’t answer that) Regardless of what it is, teen girls can be a bit pickier [...]

Sick Sucks

Well, I was doing better. I was on a roll and I thought I might kick the rest of the novel out over the last few days, because I was doing so well. Yeah. Then I got sick. Seven people in my family and mom gets sick. Let me just say how much fun that [...]

Just For The Heck Of It

I am not much in the blogging mood tonight. Really tired and haven’t done a word count to see what I accomplished today, so no idea. But I’ll update tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s one of those silly little question things. Thought I’d post it. I happened upon it while blog hopping today. Who’s and [...]

On My Way and a Quick Break

I made it to 1000. Actually, 1115 if you want to get real technical. My goal today is between 2500 and 5000 just to get ahead, but I won’t die if I don’t make it. Already my ridiculous internal editor who doesn’t seem to wish to stay out of NaNo ever, has been making her [...]

Want To Know More About Me?

Well, then this is your chance because I was tagged by Justin over at Dragon Blogger. I don’t normally do this type of tag or meme on this blog, but I found Justin’s answers interesting and thought, sure why not. Plus, I have recently met a bunch of new bloggers I’d never met before that [...]

Yes/No Questions About Your NaNo Novel

I found this awhile back on the boards and was going to do it and then I never did. So I’m doing it here, especially since I am definitely more involved in my plot now and know what I want. They are yes/no questions but a few you might need to answer further in depth, [...]

NaNo Is Down

I’ve been trying for about a half hour to load NaNo, but it won’t load. I’m assuming their servers must have had an overload issue. I hate it when somewhere I feel like being right now isn’t working. Actually it’s probably a good thing as I have some stuff I really need to get done [...]

Character Names

I’m having a time of it with names for my characters. Since the whole plot seemed to plan itself in my brain overnight, the names aren’t happening easily. I was able to get my male MC’s named. My female MC still does not have a name. *sigh* Every time I think one fits, it just [...]
