Suitably chuffed as I've now caught back up on Clare's Birthday Blog Bash. Being sick had kept me offline and I missed some great posts. I am especially pleased to have learned so much about authors new to me. Oooh, and on that other note: the heroine in my ranted about latest batch of reading has finally blacked out due to being strangled instead of being hit on the head. Not sure it's an

Join me as I put aside my ongoing search for a comfortable, supportive, yet reasonably priced sports bra and twitter about Tweeting and my undoubted Magpie Syndrome over at the lovely and talented Chez London.

In case you missed it, we are in the middle of one of the strongest solar storms since 2005. According to this report the Northern Lights have lit up the skies above Scotland, northern England and northern parts of Ireland after the biggest solar storm in more than six years bombarded Earth with radiation.The Canadian Space Agency posted a geomagnetic storm warning on Tuesday after residents were

You might think being laid low with this ridiculous illness would be a wonderful time to catch-up on some reading. Or, at least, I did. The truth is there's a severe lack of focus, patience, and general coherency that doesn't lend itself to a decent suspension of disbelief. And yes, my partners in plague told me so. No, we aren't good patients at the Munder household, especially when more than

You know you've come to the right place. But it's January, the lovely Clare London's Birthday month, and since we at the Munder household are busy starring in our own version of the movie "Contagion" (be afraid, be very afraid) we're taking a break and offering instead the annual Clare London Birthday Blog Bash! It's an entire month worth of authors and posts from a variety of genres. Grab your

Goodness! We had a weekend full of two separate household plumbing surprises and the resulting clean-ups. Luckily, both were fixed with a few trips to the local hardware store. Still, I'm fidgety and nervous about running the dishwasher as I wait for number 3 to find/flood us. Are you superstitious like this? Do troubles really seem to come in three's?

With no snow of our own, I borrowed some. Thanks to Cryselle and her Thousand Word Thursday image, I now have snow to spare. As well as an excerpt from The Reason for the Season. You can read it here. While there you can click on the Thousand Word Thursday Tag to read other excerpts, drabbles, and free fic from a variety of fine authors.

We're all agog over here at it being the 2nd week of January and almost 50 degrees. Definitely have to go a lot further North to find any snow. The weekend became more than a little hectic and it carried over into the start of this week. Imagine our surprise when we received a post-holiday gift box in yesterday's mail. Great big hugs to you, Karen. You made the night.My favorite token inside? The

I've spent the last couple of years enjoying posts from the blog/website Zen Habits. They are starting out the New Year with a special (and free) Clutterfat Challenge. Instead of getting rid of bodyfat, you've guessed it, the goal is to get rid of some of the clutter around you. I believe Saturday, January 7th, is the last day to sign up to be part of the free course challenge.Even if you aren't

I'm slowly wading back into the fray this week. :) Rather frustrated as I wanted to take another look at something I found out on the web xxx days/months ago. I swear I knew where to look - but now I can't find the darn thing. So much for telling myself don't favorite it, you have too many of those already.

Here we are, day 2 of 2012! Is it time to cue the theme from Jaws? Naaaah. How's it going for everyone? I'm back after a bit of almost time off from the web.

At least, that’s what the best-selling, self-help book he’s listening to promises. Being stuck on a three-story tower in the middle of a snowstorm wasn’t part of the plan. With no St. Bernard in sight

No surprise to anyone involved in my life I didn't get a chance to submit a story for this year's DSP Advent Calendar (insert big frowny face here). Imagine my excitement when I was asked to join several authors I admire in a seasonal anthology and life behaved. Winter Warmers is due to release on November 28th - Until then, click on this cool banner by Lou Harper for more details, and a look at

Amazing the things we learn when we least expect it. Believe it or not, I've finally taken the time to figure out how to stop Word from replacing my "straight quotes" with "curly quotes" during my find and replace, and basic typing. So simple. So easy. So embarrassing it's taken me this long.Tags: rambling

We had a great mix of authors and genres, with excerpts and covers everywhere you looked. So many in fact, we broke the site! While I apologize for not being able to get back on the site Monday due to the techinical difficulties, I really applaud the staff at TRS for working so hard to get it all back and running.

More weekend fun behind us. This time, our third trip to the local cider mill. We're lucky in that we have at least four in a fifty mile radius. Just pick one. This trip we visited Diehl's Orchard and Cider Mill in Holly. An old favorite, this is one of the first mills I ever toured and the press and workings still look the same. The corn maze was closed this year, but there was plenty of our

And how was your weekend? As you might guess from the title of this post we went adventuring last Friday. This time to Michigan's Coast Guard City, Grand Haven. I could go on and on about the city; the gentrification of the downtown area, the artsy feel and atmosphere, and the fantastic job they did along the channel walkway, but the real fun can be found in the waves. We've visited the beach

As we sat there licking our fingers, belly stuffed and more than satisfied, I thought about my favorite BBQ stand in San Antonio, Texas - Bun N Barrel.

While browsing, you may also have visited the website for Todd & Brad Reed Photography.

I've been having fun poking about my new, more inspiring and positive feeds and came across this lovely gem. Now, I know several out there will roll their eyes and wonder why I found this so cool ... but for those of us who still wobble about on training wheels and haven't grasped the supposed intuitiveness of our friend, social media and the Twitter phenomenon, it's a straightforward explanation

But Hell, everyone who knows me knows that I'm still stuck back in 2007 - give or take a few years. I'm doing a quick review of what has worked for me physically, mentally, and emotionally so far this year - and what hasn't. Some change is due to come.During our chat yesterday,

So much for the hope we'd avoid the dreaded February scourge. Ergh. To distract myself, I've been contemplating a few random issues. #1 - Why does every television, web, or radio channel I turn to have hourly Charlie Sheen updates, but I have to actively search for the tiniest bit of news re: New Zealand and the aftermath of the earthquake? That's a fail for me, media coverage.#2 - WTF happened
