MissMeliss: Escribition

I’m sitting here in my writing studio with a cold grey sky beyond my window, and thinking about what would make this day feel less chilly and gloomy. Well, laughter, obviously.
Rather than tell jokes on my blog though, I’m going to invite all of you who live in or near the DFW Metroplex to come [...]

I hate ants.
I especially hate them when they are found in my pantry, or shower.
Today they were in the pantry.
I murdered them ruthlessly.
We are now out of Raid.
I shall enlist Fuzzy’s assistance in removing EVERYTHING from the pantry, cleaning it out, chucking stuff that is not ant-proof, and re-organizing everything.
But not today.
Today I will simply [...]

or Why Afternoon Naps are Evil
I’ve been tired, cranky and head-achy all day, and after the third call from my mother who was both kvetching about how she’s on dial up after five days of having the local geeks try to install TelMex’s brand of high speed internet access which is about a third the [...]

…people who say they won’t go to parties or events outside Dallas or outside Fort Worth, as if there’s some forcefield running down the middle of the metroplex with special cootie contaminators just waiting to attack people from the Other city. I haven’t understood it since I’ve been here, and I don’t think I ever [...]

It was sunny yesterday, but it was the sort of sunny day that has no heat, just brittle, chilled sunlight. A wintry day, such as wintry days are in this part of the world. Dry. Cold. Over-bright.
Despite the fact that my body chemistry decided I was not allowed to feel comfortably warm until bedtime, it [...]

Friday
Drink: Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte

Slept til nine, then ten, then eleven. Wrote about BMW’s. Clarified some stuff about other projects. Approached some people I think would be good additions to the team. Showered, towel dried hair, dressed. Finished Mistral’s Kiss, by Laurell K. Hamilton. Put my hair in a pony-tail high atop my [...]

I left the warm cocoon of soft cotton sheets and small furry animals to answer nature’s call just after 4:30 AM, and managed to read another chapter in the book I’m currently enjoying, the most recent offering from Lauren Willig.
As I was padding softly back to bed, I heard the quiet jingling of dog tags, [...]
