Yet another week of little to no writing. We are still working on getting the house into listing condition - patching holes left by the previous owner (there was one over the bed that they covered up with a piece of cardboard), patching up holes made by us (from installing the new over the range … Continue reading Something Unexpected…

Going Down the List…
It's been another busy week here in the Olson household. We're currently in the midst of getting the house prepped so it can be listed. Thankfully there's not a whole lot that needs to be done - just touching up the paint, washing the walls, and trying to keep chaos to a minimum. That last … Continue reading Going Down the List…
Dropping In…
It's been a crazy crazy week this week. A lot of things are changing - some far more rapidly than we planned on - so to give you a quick run down of everything that is happening: A month ago, the Boyo was diagnosed as Autistic (which wasn't that big of a surprise, honestly...) The … Continue reading Dropping In…
Hot Commodity…
One of my good friends was in town this week. I can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but she's getting married next year, and she's asked me to be a bridesmaid. I've also agreed to sew the bridesmaid dresses. Thankfully she already knew what she wanted - so the last time she was … Continue reading Hot Commodity…
Bad Habits…
I've noticed that I have this... habit... when I'm working on a story. I get to a certain point - usually a cliffhanger - and I want edit it, package it up, and post it as part one of whatever. I think a lot of this is because when I first started writing, seriously writing, … Continue reading Bad Habits…
Always Something…
I meant to post last week, but between taking the Boyo in for an Autism evaluation, his normal therapy schedule, and meeting up with the local Regional Center for their every six month check in (basically they ask how we're doing, how therapy is going, etc, etc, etc), there just wasn't a lot of time … Continue reading Always Something…
A New Start…
Today is Ash Wednesday - which is the start of Lent and 46 days of fasting. While my husband and I are not Catholic (He's a member of the Four Square denomination of Christianity, while I come from a Southern Baptist background... a very reserved Southern Baptist background) but we decided to use March 1st as … Continue reading A New Start…
In the Blink of an Eye…
Exhaustion has a new name - Toddler bed. Boyo managed to escape his crib last week. Apparently he decided that he did NOT need a nap one day and demonstrated it by climbing out of the crib and run around his room. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like hearing the movement monitor go off (which usually … Continue reading In the Blink of an Eye…
Just a Bump in the Road…
I wrote so much over the holidays that my carpal tunnel started to act up. It's been over seven years since it's bugged me. I honestly thought it would act up while I was in school, but I guess clicking through power point pages isn't the same thing as typing. Where and how I sit when … Continue reading Just a Bump in the Road…
Something Different…
I hope everyone had a good Christmas weekend. We spent Christmas Eve with my side of the family, then we had friends over for a visit. Hubby tackled building a cardboard pirate ship... which was tougher than either of us expected. We should've known it was bad news when the instructions included a link to … Continue reading Something Different…
