That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

This morning we welcomed Jane Evelyn Doyle into our family! Everyone is doing great. I'm exhausted but elated. We may even get to go home as soon as tomorrow.

There's a picture up on my FB page, and no doubt more to come.

I threw this out on FB but wanted to share this here too. For anyone who followed my afghan project, I posted every step to keep myself accountable which really helped me complete the project.

Now I'm starting a new project. I asked folks on FB to pick a number between 1 and 100 and I had about 40 people choose a number. The new project has 100 different, small patterns and I want to make each and then share them with my friends. If you are interested, please send a note to my profile addy with your address. You can pick a number and if it hasn't been picked already, I'll put you in for that slot, otherwise I'll pick a number for you at random.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Now we are three.

Gary and I are in the process of adopting a baby boy. The adoption is in a different state than the one where we live, so we are in a hotel with the baby, waiting for the legal paperwork to go through.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, I haven't been posting too much here, but I have been lurking every day because my laptop keys are not working and typing long messages on my phone makes me feel kind of stupid and fumblefingered.

Anyway the meat of my message: I am having a casual soiree for my 43rd birthday on August 22nd, Saturday.

If any Buffistas in the area or from more far-flung climes are interested in the possibility of attending my casual soiree, please drop me a line on Facebook and I will give you the deets on the actual events page.

So! Thanks all!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have a new piece up on Hilobrow for their "Crom Your Enthusiasm" series this summer about fantasy from the 1930s. My piece is a little love letter to Fritz Leiber's Thieves House.

Check it out: [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Could you lovely people do me a solid and rate and review my recipe? 5 stars is preferred and the sillier the better. [link]

Thanks, ever so much.

not your mom's socks.

I posted some of my Sept/Oct travel schedule in F2F... hoping I get to visit with a lot of you soon.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Thor, the mighty pitbull has fallen.

If you remember back in 2002 when my niece Teresa and Thor were heroes:

May the valiant Thor find his berth to Valhalla a pleasant one.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
