The F&ckit is Strong in This One

Some days, you don’t wanna do sh-t. Well, maybe you don’t have that problem, but I sure do. And because that’s how my brain works, odds are good I’m going to have one of those days on a day I must not give in. Like, you know…today. I have a book coming out Monday. I […]

In the last few years she converted to Judaism and now she’s learning Hebrew. She also writes great mysteries (not in Hebrew.) She’s

Weekend of ACCOMPLISHING STUFF

Weekend of ACCOMPLISHING STUFF

Weekend, yay! I’ve been needing it all week! When you start on Monday afternoon going “it really needs to be Friday,” you can guess the rest of the week is not going to be peachy. I spent much of it going “I’ll get that this weekend” and then fretting that my weekend would be miserable.
