Round Robin: My Heroines

When I was young, I loved books with heroines that were impossibly hot. I'm not sure why. Perhaps I liked to imagine myself as that hot, but, like looking at the models in the magazines, they made me feel less than. Some of the descriptions I've never seen a woman...

Noelle Fournier of Jilted Again

I'm interviewing the character Noelle Fournier from Jilted Again today. I am delving deep into her psyche. (grin) She's had a rough time of it, but things are looking up. Help me give her a warm welcome. Marci: What kind of man attracts you? Is he a James Bond man's...

Kitty In Hiding

Who knew my kitty liked to hide. Now, little white girl, yes, but my big, black boy? No. Unfortunately, Lily pestered him, and, now, he's back out again. I think he was just trying to stay warm. LOL Kitties are silly. All of...

It’s inevitable

It is. The postman delivered a kickboard. I opened the box, removed the kickboard, and set the box on the ground. Guess what happened. The inevitable. (grin) But if it's big enough for one, surely two can fit....

Christmas and the New Year

Christmas really sucked the time away. I've been running this way and that. With Charlie home, my time is not my own. It's the old "you work from home so you can do whatever the hell you want", except that's not entirely true. He's off; I'm not. Eh, I'll do my best to...
