She’s Going on Vacation AGAIN?! Harrumph.

Yes, it’s true. I’m going on vacation AGAIN. Only this time, with the family - not just by myself… So I won’t be around all week. To prove I’m not totally selfish though, I am leaving you with some things to read/places to visit. (What a nice girl…)

Guest Post. No. Guest List. Sort of. Anyway, It’s All About Graphic Novels…

This post is going to look odd. It’s not my fault.

Sigh. I’m a Loser Again…

So I didn’t win the library book spine poem contest.

Sigh.

I was very pleased with myself for this poem, frankly, and am rather put out by this loss. Plus, I like to think I’m something of a snappy writer and smarter than those around me, so I expected to do sparklingly well in this contest.
