Breaking news – 2017 is over! I know I feel like this every year but (as always) it just seems worse this year. Where did 2017 go? I cannot believe how quickly it passed by. Was that a semi that just knocked me over into the ditch of New Year Fallout? Well, it was a busy year, a good year, a…
November makes a rather sad little nutshell. I wasn’t feeling well for a lot of the month and was generally struggling with lack of productivity but – anyway – here it goes! Thanksgiving Vacation What did YOU do for Thanksgiving? We took a road trip to Cocoa Beach Florida. Listening to this song is mandatory. I…
Once again, I had another rather ‘unproductive’ month. I mostly played catch up. But a few key events happened. Tweaked my blog design a smidge. Went to our libraries massive bi-annual book sale.

‘places small shriveled nutshell on desk’ Yes, this is a VERY small nutshell for June. Why? Because the Black Death swept through our house in mid May and decided to stay for an extended visit. The nasty thing had a regular holiday messing with us and nearly got the best of us a couple of times. Because of this less-than-welcome…

April in a Nutshell Hey people! No long introduction this time – just diving straight into the nutshell. Are you ready? Hold onto your hats! 1. I nailed my Camp NaNo goal of 30,000 words. *takes it in for a moment* Coming out of the deep, slimy pit of writer’s block – writing 30,033 words felt pretty good! A…
March. Just when you think you’re on top of your schedule – something happens to knock you off the ‘to do’ pile.
