chrissymunder@yahoo.com Howdy, howdy. It’s Tuesday and I am supposed to be off doing other, more goal-orientated tasks like pulling info together for taxes. Instead I’m asking a question about Apps and how people use them. As in, I have my handy Kindle Fire. I love my Kindle Fire. It’s backlit, does text to speech, lets me … Read more…
I should first point out I have not actually seen the movie that shares this post’s name, and I’m not talking about gratuitous cruelty to others. Rather I’m wondering, why we are so mean to ourselves? If anyone asked a few years ago, I would have claimed to be a laid back, go with the flow kind … Read more…
Hey y’all, Welcome to 2015! I hope you had a good celebratory start to your year. You know I’m still feeling festive if my y’alls start flying. No surprise if you’ve been here before, but I love fresh starts, Mondays, moving into new houses, new notebooks, and especially, New Years. There’s an energy and vibrancy … Read more…
Wow. Today’s homonym is one I’m not sure I’ll ever remember correctly. Here’s a case where I’ve almost given up hope Mrs. Wolf’s mantra of “if you write it down you’ll retain it” will work.

But does he work for Discreet Limousine? Or Discrete Limousine? The totally different definitions for this homonym found at Vocabulary.com made for an easy choice between the … Read more…
My Holiday celebrations continue with an excerpt from Better with Sprinkles. We love having friends and family join us in our traditional cookie baking marathons and surprisingly, there’s still enough to give away when we’re done. We have several favorite recipes and I had a hard time picking which one to include at the end of … Read more…
The end of the year is creeping closer, which means my craving to plan is getting larger. You’d be horrified if I shared all I’ve been doing. Truly. But I’m happy to share this link from my gal, Yoga with Adrienne. I’ve been practicing yoga in one form or another since … jeez, am I … Read more…
As part of my blog reboot for 2015 (and as a sneaky way to keep me posting more), my virtual door is open for anyone interested in guest blogging. Newbies looking for a place to get their feet wet are more than welcome. Want to do a quick promo for a new release? Or just … Read more…
Here’s a set of words I have to look up Every.Single.Time. You’d think I’d get it by now. But every time I get deep in edits I always twist myself around on this pair and end up second guessing my choices. Let me pause and send a big kiss to anyone who ever had to … Read more…
