Who wants to win some Char Crust Dry Rub Seasonings?

Just what I need for fall - a kick-ass pair of ankle  boots. And they’re even available in my size! Woo hoo!

Be part of the Central Texas Wildfire Quilt Drive - If you haven’t heard, we are working to give every child who lost their home a quilt. Can you send one of yours? More details here.

These are super-cute! And affordable! And in my size! And I’ve had too much caffeine today - can you tell!?

Remember how I spent some time yesterday taking pictures and writing about how many books I have in my office?

I just added five more to the pile this morning. LOL

Curse you Amazon.com and your free shipping!

Rubber Bookshelves by Luke Hart

These are cool, but I can just see my cats clawing them to shreds.

All right, I admit it: I’m a book hoarder. I have no problem with cleaning out my closet and giving shoes, t-shirts and jeans to Goodwill, but I just can’t part with any of my books. In my home office I have 6 bookscases. Yes, SIX. When I was in high school I worked as a page at the local library, so those puppies are organized. One entire bookcase is even dedicated to what my husband calls my “morbid section” i.e. true crime books. I’ve read some of those hundreds of books seen in the pictures above, but not all of them (yet.) But I am never getting rid of any of them.

Bert & Ernie Jack-O-Lanterns

My first cats were named Bert and Ernie. They were both female. (This is what happens when a 3-year-old is allowed to name her new pets.)

I think my next tattoo is going to be this quote in a cool font:

“If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad.” - Lord Byron

I’m not sure where I’ll put it though. Any suggestions? (FYI - I already have one on my right shoulder, so that spot is taken.)
