Happy Yule, y’all!

Catch you all on the flip side!

I just sent in my order for this year’s holiday cards and as I did last year, will be sending out to whomever wants one.

Please post your snail mail addy in the comments (screened and only visible by me) if you’d like a card.

Cheers!!

 Happy solstice to you all and hope the sun brings you brilliance in your life!! I’m hoping the sun finds its way to this soggy, moldy Mid-Atlantic area.

For all you dads out there, especially my own amazing stepdad, hope your Father’s Day is fantastic!!!

I was going to say something pity and meaningful, but after reading Neil Gaiman’s blog post, I’ll let him say it instead since it’s way better than what I could have done:

I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you dream dangerously and outrageously, that you make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked. And most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now) that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.

Wishing each and every one of you a fantastic 2009.

Hola, peeps! How’s everyone spending the last Saturday of the year?

I’m chez moi, trying to shed the Cough That Would Not Die(tm). Round 3 of meds and more codeine. I *know* it’s just a matter of time, but boy, howdy (to use a Texian phrase), it’s a total PITA!

I’ve been drinking green tea with honey/lemon, sucking on OTC cough drops and taking meds. At least I got some sleep last night (whew!).

I spent a lovely quiet Xmas day at home, nursing the cough and reading. I had a lovely invite from JP to join their extended family for a great dinner, but sadly, my cough makes it nearly impossible to be in company. It’s annoying to others and quite hard on me.

Oh well, I’m hoping that 2009 will be the year that the Lima gets well. I keep taking my vitamins and supplements and crossing my fingers!

Of the amusing: XKCD and Google trends. theamusedone, I *know* which one you’re responsible for!! ::g::

Happy solstice all!

I wish each and every one of you the best of the season.

Last month, I was a guest blogger on Amberkatze’s blog. This month, after reading Blood Bargain, she’s giving a copy away to a lucky commenter.

Why don’t you pop over there and join in the fun?

And don’t forget, if you would like a holiday card from moi, please be sure to fill out your snail mail info here.

Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain to all!

Thanks to everyone who commented yesterday about the arrival of my author copies. I’m still in major squee mode. I don’t think this is *ever* going to get old.

Wishing all of you that celebrate, a Happy Independence Day!

I’m off in about an hour to Union Station, where I’ll take the train to go visit starrcat. Tomorrow the gang will join us.

Traveling with me, will be Morgause, my new MacBook Air. JEEEMINY, she’s gorgeous. Nameless, the MacBook has now gone to a good home.

I’m hoping to get starrcat‘s router hooked up so I can have wireless access at her place. ::g::

Cheers and happy holiday!
