The Boyo turned three this weekend. Three. I can't believe it. It feels like only yesterday that he was this tiny itty bitty thing curled up in his incubator. And now he's this big strong child that's built like a tank, is curious about everything, and is learning new words and phrases all the time. … Continue reading Three

Dressed in Blue…
I've been a big fan of The Handmaid's Tale ever since I first learned about it in seventh grade (don't worry - the teacher who told me about it made sure to edit out the more scandalous bits, and I didn't actually read it until I was in eleventh grade) and I've really enjoyed watching … Continue reading Dressed in Blue…
Fried and Re-fried…
I confess I have no idea what to post about this week. I am stuck deep in the trenches, torn between editing and studying for my Real Estate Exam... which is in two days. Pray for me friends - I'm not sure I'll get through this with my sanity intact. Also, send snacks if you … Continue reading Fried and Re-fried…
A Change in Plans…
Last week, I was formatting a novella that will be a part of a serial series for one of my pen names, when I decided to take a look at Createspace and their publishing services. Bad idea. Bad bad idea. Createspace makes everything so simple that it's a breeze. And I was surprised to realize … Continue reading A Change in Plans…
Something Unexpected…
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…
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…
