Why is it that the week before any vacation or big plans is longer than any other week of the year? It’s not even all that big a deal, really. As a Christmas gift to myself, I got myself a Disneyland season pass, so with Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr day, I’m taking
I’m not big on New Years as a holiday, or a time for big changes. As a Pagan I celebrate the turning of the wheel toward beginnings at Samhain (Halloween), so it seems a bit redundant to do so again on the first of January. I do get something of a new beginning this year,
Today’s the day! It’s Star Wars day! I have a ticket to see The Rise of Skywalker at 5pm tonight. I am super excited, and also fairly anxious. I mean, this story has been a part of my life since I was 9 years old. It has helped to shape who I am as a
It’s Friday the 13th, which honestly is a day I love, and not only because I was born on one. I’ll be honest, most superstitions strike me as odd, but they tell us a lot about who we are, or who we came from. The roots of such superstitions can be illuminating, and they illustrate

National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWrMo. I’m pretty sure every writer I know has done it at least once. I’ve played a few times, but never found it super productive, and so I haven’t done it in a few years. However, a number of my Sirens sisters are doing Nano this year, and I’m hot on
Finishing up the packing for my trip tomorrow and trying to resist the urge to pack every Star Wars t-shirt I own. After my bit of a buying spree lately, that’s a LOT of t-shirts. I think I could get through most of a month without having to wash anything…and I still have a few
Oops, I haven’t posted in a while! Sorry about that. I don’t even have a good excuse! Life has been busy, but that’s almost always true. So, what’s been happening?
