I always win: oat bran quandary
http://ialwayswin.blogspot.com/2012/02/oat-bran-quandary.html
Actually, I very rarely win. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. I'm no worse for my choice of oat bran. From page 54 of The Dukan Diet. If the bran is not thoroughly sifted, it is not sufficiently pure and contains too much flour. [.] .it is after it has been sifted for a sixth time, B6, that oat bran has negligible fast carbohydrate content.". Fast carbohydrates: a scary concept for someone trying to kick his carb addiction. So, I wrote the manufacturer of the oat bran. Now I'm feelin' so fly, like a B6.

http://ialwayswin.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Actually, I very rarely win. Sunday, April 08, 2012. Made it through Easter weekend without having any candy or chocolate (or wine). People are starting to really notice the weight loss. I need to buy some new pants. Above all else: I feel fantastic. Body statistics as of today. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Just like my facial hair means I'm "hiding something," my tendency to be facetious and sardonic obviously means I'm hesitant to reveal the "real me." Yeah. Right.

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Creativity is Something Other People Do. There's a tendency to think of art as something others. Do Art is mysterious; it comes from a magical place. It's not like going to a day job and pumping out widgets or code or happy customers—all the things you and your ordinary friends produce. We've even invented the concept of a muse: an other—. 8212;than post about it on Facebook. PS Buy my book. Labels: creative contributions to society. Sunday, July 19, 2015. The problem is, when I...

Phronk.com: New Cover For Stars and Other Monsters
http://www.phronk.com/2014/12/new-cover-for-stars-and-other-monsters.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. New Cover For Stars and Other Monsters. After a few decades of dinking around, I'm starting to take this writing thing more seriously. In 2014, I finally published a few books, and in 2015 I plan to publish even more. Part of taking it seriously is realizing my limitations and hiring professionals to help overcome them. For Stars and Other Monsters (my first novel - BUY IT. Work before, and his style totally fit the bill. So here's the new cover:. To get notifications about new...

Monday, March 31, 2014. Book Review: The Five, by Robert McCammon. I haven't been keeping up with my book reviews. Oops. Well, here's one I've been reading for months and only just finished: Robert McCammon's The Five. Only minor spoilers here. The ending. It just hits all the right emotional notes. The length. If The Five were an album, it would be half filler songs. The self-indulgent ballads that had to be there to get the album up to twelve songs despite only having six good ones. Except ...When it e...

http://www.phronk.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 24, 2014. Saying Yes to No. I just read this article on Medium: Creative People Say No. The premise is that many prolific creators are not afraid of guarding their time by refusing requests for it. This quote, attributed to Charles Dickens, resonated with me:. I don't think it applies only to other people. Saying "no" to yourself is just as important if you are to take that mountain of daily tasks, responsibilities, and hobbies, and carve out enough time to create something of value. Only ...

Tuesday, February 24, 2015. I haven't actually forgotten to write I am simply a new mother who is also a crafter, and an artist, and a kitty momma, and a wife, and a daughter, and a good friend and a., and a., and a. This, that and the other thing too. And I am not apologizing for my absence either. Humph. Soo much to keep up on in this life my attention to internet is less right now. As I go simple I ask myself what are the things I wish to use my time for? Anyhow here is a quick picture of a stylie win...

http://leftofnerdy.blogspot.com/2014/02/another-day-another-pair-of-socks.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. Another day, another pair of socks. Maybe it is this cold winter. My dedication to the art of socks is growing still. Thanks to my handy book, `Knitted Socks, East Meets West` by Judy Sumner, I am still enthralled with her work translating Japanese Lace inspiration into footwear. This one is called Tatami. I used size US 2 needles with Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn. Of Course I love colour so working in this yarn in this pattern was an absolute treat! You can find the pattern here.

http://leftofnerdy.blogspot.com/2014/03/i-learned-something-really-cool-this.html
Monday, March 17, 2014. I learned something really cool this weekend. So my partner of many years (10 ) and I finally decided to get married. We decided it almost exactly one year ago while hiking around in the great smokey mountains. We then told everyone that we were planning a wedding and then something happened, I got pregnant. In the face of a wedding my opinion has always been, "oh, cool let's have a picnic and go swimming! How will we let all the relatives know in time? I went in and got a licence...
