A New Hope

Do you ever do
something despite not wanting to? I don't mean stuff like taxes. Nobody wants to do that...no I mean something that you want to but it makes you nervous because you're just not quite sure?
Maybe something like jumping over an obstacle for no good reason on a running horse you ask?
Uhm, maybe?
Today I'm on my way to a con- Celebration VI, the Star Wars con.
I'm not quite sure what to expect, other than adding to my Star Wars T-shirt collection.
I'm also going to be wearing my FanGirl blogger hat and interviewing Drew Karpyshyn, whose book, Revan, got me into the whole MMO thing...
So here I go! They've got the tractor beam on me. I hope this will be fun!
Stay tuned...

The Visitor I Least Like Coming By...

I know you think it's my mother in law.
But it's not.
Not my parents either.
Nor that Frenemy we all seem to know.
Nope...
              it's the Home Appraiser.
He or she, various ages and sizes he/she comes in, looks at everything with Hercule Poirot intensity, and often, eccentricity.
You can't close the door and hide the various messy rooms- he'll go in there...
You can't shove everything into the closet-he may open that door...
You can't hide it in the garage-he'll measure it...

So I do my best to catch the largest dust bunnies, turn on all the lights and candles, shove things in drawers and bake.
Are we having a party, Papoose wants to know?
Umm, no.
But at least when he leaves, I do get to celebrate a clean house and chocolate chip cookies.

And catch me at FanGirl Blog

Where I interview Shelly Shapiro, the editor who has done Heir To the Empire Star Wars books (as well as many, many others) and the Dragon Riders of Pern series.

Always On My Mind...

What would you see as you drove by here?


See the white dots on that railroad bridge?



They looked like Stormtroopers to me.
I know I have an overactive imagination.
I know, I promised it wasn't go to be all about Star Wars here any more.
I didn't say anything to the familia the first two times as we drove back from visiting the in laws in CT.
Then as we approached again, I asked them in my I know you are going to think I'm crazy voice if they saw what I was seeing.
So Hubs actually got off the freeway, to the consternation of the GPS and drove back around :




The good news: Star Wars may be on my mind... But there are Stormtroopers on that bridge!

Will this work?

So I'm trying an experiment...blogging from my phone.
The iPhone and I have a somewhat codependent relationship...
The Mac, from which I generally blog from, more functional. When I'm busy, I don't spend much time with Mac, therefore don't blog too much.
But this...
Well if it works, maybe I will conquer Twitter next!

Wow, I've been tardy, or excuses spread over three posts

Well, I've been busy, but we all say that, don't we?
My current excuse is that I am busy rescuing orphans....
Luxury handbag orphans, that is. I know, I know, they seem like they do just fine, all polished and displayed at Bloomingdale's or Nordstrom or even Neiman Marcus, but the truth is, these poor babies are just getting basic care, there...they aren't cherished, or loved, or made to feel special.
Thus, i find it my duty, to rescue these precious snips of hand crafted, artisanal leather, whenever time and budget allow...and then there are there cousins, the dear, lonely, lovely shoes...especially the lone pairs on sale racks...
