Where Liz Lives: November 2013
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. On Veteran's Day, we had conferences with both kids' teachers, because the school mandates a conference at the end of the first quarter for all elementary school kids. (I don't know about middle school yet, but since that will be multiple teachers, I'm guessing not.). Before she left, I let her know that she had - entirely unwittingly - done the best thing possible. That a teacher would a) make a mistake, b) admit to. Anyway, the general consensus on Penny was about what we'...

Where Liz Lives: October 2013
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 17, 2013. A conversation I just had with my kids:. Alex: Mom, what's that? Me: It's a [crochet project of the moment]. When it's finished, it's going to be a Christmas present for [redacted]. Alex: But it's not even Christmas yet! Me: No, but I'm making crochet presents for several people this year, and making things takes time. I'm starting early to make sure I can get them all done in time. Me: Planning ahead is weird? Penny: Pretty much, yeah. Sunday, October 13, 2013. I'm an author ...

Where Liz Lives: April 2013
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. My Kids Are Awesome: PROOF. Two conversations with my kids which will, individually and together, provide conclusive proof that they are wholly amazing people:. Conversation #1: Love and Rockets. Alex and I are in the car, which is where I always have the most excellent conversations with my kids. "Mom, when I grow up, I'm going to be a pilot.". That sounds pretty cool," I say. Yeah And Claudia is going to be an ats mumble. Mom Claudia is going to be an astronaut. Same car ride,...

Where Liz Lives: Fluffy
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2014/01/fluffy.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. Last night, after dinner, I was sitting at the table, leafing through a couple of catalogs that had come in the mail while the kids finished eating their dinner, and they were looking over my shoulders (well, elbows) and kibbitzing about the clothes and such. I was in the Pyramid Collection. Catalog when Penny said, "What's Goddess size. Cf previous comment about having them with me 24/7 since last Wednesday.). Alex, indignant: "You're not fat, Mommy! And plump is cute.

Where Liz Lives: July 2013
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Dinner Deals and Empathy. As previously mentioned, I'm having the dining room and kitchen floor repaired soon. Which means I've moved all my stuff out of the dining room, and a lot of stuff out of the kitchen, so the contractor can get to the floor. "Stuff" in this case includes the dining room table and all the chairs. So we're eating in the living room, which for the kids is the biggest treat ever. I'm pretty sure it's one of the signs of the Apocalypse. I intensely dislike the ...

Where Liz Lives: Whet Your Appetite
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2014/04/whet-your-appetite.html
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. I don't always plug my book releases here, but Whetting the Appetite. Just hit the distribution markets and I am so in love with this book, it isn't even funny. It's a collection of 46 ultra-short stories (most of them no more than a page or two) written by KT (in her writing disguise of Lynn Townsend. And me over a period of about six months, and trust me, we've got it all! There's something here for everyone, and I'm pretty sure I mean everyone. Barnes and Noble / Nook.

Where Liz Lives: Clean Slate
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2014/03/clean-slate.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. A former co-worker - a young thing in her early 20s - is about to move to a new city to start a new job. She's nervous, but excited - she hasn't lived so far away from her family since college. Everything she's taking with her will fit in a U-haul trailer, her furniture limited to a bed, a desk, and a chair. Starting from scratch. A clean slate. Exciting. Exhilarating. Stepping out into the void and trusting in your own wings. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And so very much ...

Where Liz Lives: June 2013
http://wherelizlives.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 18, 2013. It's been a while, and lots of stuff has happened, and some more stuff is imminent, so I figured this was as good a time as any to post a status update of sorts. The Day Job is a bit worrisome - we have contracts that will keep me employed (though not anything like busy. Through September (the end of the Government fiscal year) and then. not really anything. I'm fretting about it a bit and considering options, but not terrified. The worst of it will be if I do. Anyway, I'm technic...

I thought I showed you guys this cover weeks ago, but I just went back through my posts, and. not so much, 'cause I suck. I can't believe it, either, because OH. MY. GOD. You guys, this is the best cover ever. I always say that, I know, but SRSLY, look at it! Why, I'm glad you asked! Lynn and I are probably going to have a Facebook release "party" that day or close to it, so if you enjo...
