The Competition Gets Fierce

Tonight I had to fight for my internet time, and the argument came from an unusual source. Though I have the feeling it’s going to become more common. Yes, tonight my munchkin finally got turned on to the joys of the internet. She’s been enjoying the past 11 days because she could watch cartoons all […]

It's Addictive!

I always knew I would love the internet, but I don’t think I realized how much. I don’t want to do anything else. I want to post more writing, though I don’t have anything ready right now, and I don’t want to take time from my surfing to get something ready. Last night I spent

It’s Happening…

It’s happening. People are finding my site. I have two votes from people I don’t know, both with comments, though no one has signed my guest book or sent feedback yet. BJ did read Slime the First. She called it “rough stuff, but vivid.” Yes, it is, both. I need to quit playing around and
