    This morning I pulled out an older manuscript of mine, determined to give it a thorough editing. It was one of those pieces that I’d written and, when finished, thought “gee, this turned out better than I thought.” It was one of those pieces that had got me to thinking that maybe I could take…

    (Originally published to my Livejournal). So I’ve had a bit of a Donald Duck influence the past few days. You know, one of those days where no matter how hard you try to do well and have things go smoothly… everything goes wrong, yet you can’t help but laugh? Yesterday and today were like that.…

    (Originally posted to my Livejournal.) Just once, I’d love to have a bath with the amount of bubbles you see when people have bubble baths on TV.

    (Originally posted to my Livejournal, CreamSodaAngel). I realise this may sound somewhat random, but something that’s always puzzled me is how to keep my basted eggs from making my toast soggie!
