Happy 7th anniversary to the Show Us Your Books linkup! Yeah, you’re all a bit heavy on the murder books but I couldn’t hope to find a better group of book lovers and a better group of blogs to read…
Halloween Decor 2021
I hate fall but I begrudgingly admit to enjoying decorating for Halloween. If you have a giant ivy pit in your front yard, put some foam graves there! And a skeleton. This year the graveyard expanded past the walkway. Don’t…
Friday 5: Condimentary, My Dear Watson
Well well well, just when you find yourself in the Swamp of Sadness, Friday comes along to cheer you up slightly. And here we are. Friday. Yup. On the chore list this weekend is to clean up the craft room…
It’s the hope that kills you.
Realistically, realistically, in this world where all fantasy about such things was stripped away years ago, realistically I should know that skipping a month would just be a sign of perimenopause or the result of a stressful month. That and…
Currently, October 2021
It’s been a while since I remembered to hop into Anne’s Currently linkup. August was TERRIBLE and early September is NEVER fun. It’s nice to back in the swing of things. This month’s words are: borrowing, buying, prepping, planning, and…

Friday 5: Gripe session
It’s Friday! I was off yesterday and today to burn the last vacation hours of TNP’s fiscal year. Mind you, I still have about 65 hours left, but I couldn’t carry more than 70 hours into fiscal year 21-22. A…
What I’m Watching: September 21
For six years, writer Demi Adejuyigbe has created strange little videos inspired by Earth, Wind, & Fire’s September and posted them on September 21. They were little spots of joy in what has been a decidedly non-joyful time in history….
studying for the CAE Exam
I mentioned a few times that I’m sitting for the CAE exam in December. CAE is short for Certified Association Executive and to achieve this credential, you need to take — and pass — a 200 question exam within a…
Friday 5: Ax + By = C
What the hell is this formula? A line? I think it’s a line, although I thought line was y = mx +b and m is the slope and b is the … intersection? But this might be new math. And…
