Mina

     First off you should know that, at least in my house, I am omnipotent and omniscience.  They doubt me, until they need something.  Then, I'm the knower of all the things, the finder of all the things, the keeper of all the things.  I am also the killer of all the things, the cleaner of all the things and, though my husband is a carpenter, the fixer of most of the things.  This is an inherited mom/woman ability.  Like multi-tasking.


     I'm also a wife and mother of 3.  (Though I think a lot of women will agree there isn't a whole lot of difference.)  My kids are far from being little anymore at 15, 14 and 12.  Eeek!  I know, right.  It seems it wasn't long ago Moira and I were trying to figure out the source of the finger "paint" our 4 year olds were using.  Shudder.  Yes, that story will be used for embarrassment in the future.  Oh, yes.

     But, I digress.  Which I tend to do quite often.  Moira is the more organized of us.  I thrive on chaos...organized chaos mind you, but chaos none the less.  I love things neat, but keeping them that way is a whole other ball of wax. C'est la vie.

     I wasn't a big reader as a child, but I could daydream circles around most people.  Still can.  If I could get that to translate into writing I'd be golden!  I read mostly romance.  I do love Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck.  I read and enjoy Tolkien.  I read the way I watch movies, to be entertained.  I don't want to have to use a notepad, slide rule and an astrological chart to keep track of what's going on.  That doesn't rate on my fun-o-meter.  A lot of laughs, things that blow up, and nice eye candy are on my list of things that are fun.

I hope you enjoy our blog, and that I can entertain you as well as I do the crowds in my head.  
They just love me.

Ahh, vacation...

     Well, I did it.  I survived my first family vacation.  I'm pretty sure I have a little less hair and an eye tic, but dammit, I'm  alive!!        Yes, we have taken little vacations in the past.  My grandparents had a cottage on a lake about 2 hours from here and we'd go for long weekends, but this was different.  This was the 9 hour drive-stay in a hotel kind of vacation.   Everyone better thank their lucky stars it was on the beach, too.  No shoes makes Mommy a happy girl.        While I was somewhat mollified by the "Yay! No Shoes!" thing, the planning and keeping in-line of the entire family and their things was slightly less enjoyable than stepping on legos in your bare feet...in the dark....while sick. Yeah, for me, it's like that.            As my dearest sister Moira can attest, I am not up for any organizational aw...

Tuesday Teaser ~

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading . Here's how it works.. Grab your current read Open to a random page Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure what you share does not give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author too so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! Hi, All!  I've been absent the last two weeks, catching up on my reading.  Now I've got a new teaser to share.   Mina reviewed one of Katie MacAlister's books awhile back, and that review left me eager to search out this author.  When I saw this title, I had to give it a try.  One hilarious escapade after another, Men In Kilts is sure to elicit a giggle even from the staunchest of readers.  If you like humor sprinkled throughout your romance once in awhile, this is ...
