The Carceral
All her life Maggie had lived in a three room suite of the old McMillian mansion with no view of the outside world, no real clue that another world existed other than the supplies that mysteriously appeared each morning in a cubby behind a small door.
Women of the Otherworld Series Challenge
I can’t believe that I’m joining another challenge. Fortunately the rules are really relaxed and I have most of the series on hand. It’s actually kind of cool because if I stick with it I’ll have read a series I’ve been meaning to read and it will clear a bunch off of my TBR.
Moonlight Gleam is hosting the Women Of The Otherworld Series Challenge on her blog Moonlight Gleam’s Bookshelf. You can sign up now until March 1, 2013. All you have to do is read the book of the month from the series, blog about, and link up on the monthly linky. Nothing too hard there.
So wish me luck and join in if you like ~ Women of the Otherworld Series Challenge on Moonlight Gleam’s Bookhelf

Picking the Winners
Content by Mac Kline
I love sports. It’s the only reason I keep television service at my house. So many of the events I like to watch are now on special channels that don’t come into the house over the air so I would miss tons of stuff if I didn’t have it. For example, March Madness is just around the corner and I like to watch ALL of the games. Thanks goodness for all of my Dish Network Sports Channels. Without them I’d be like everyone else scrambling online to find the scores to update my brackets. Fortunately I don’t have to. Plus with all the games I can watch my brackets are always in top shape. I’m able to watch most of the teams when they play so I can pick the winners better than anyone! I don’t tell anyone that’s my secret—I just let them think I am that good at picking the winners! Of course after several years of always winning the office pools, no one is really surprised anymore!
Precious Cargo
My favorite coffee maker is the Hamilton Beach Brewstation but we would never have tried one if it weren’t for Miss Muffin. You see, when she was born we had one of those old fashioned carafe style Mr. Coffee machines that required a couple of free hands to safely pour a cup of coffee. More than once I went without coffee for hours because I couldn’t settle her down and I didn’t feel safe pouring coffee while I held her. This sent Grandma in search of a solution as a birthday gift that year. [Read more →]
Cleaning Fun
Day to of decluttering went well and the Christmas ornaments have been reduced to just what will fit on our current tree. We’re getting quite the collection of empty boxes and for the first time I don’t mind them.
I’ve been consdering turning some of my unused and rarely used gardening tools into garden gifts for friends. It makes more sense than holding on to them and moving them from house to house. [Read more →]
Clearing Out & Changing Plans
We’ve kind of tabled moving locally for the moment. I’ve looked into a couple different colleges and if I decide to go to one outside of Memphis we’ll move nearer to the college. It makes me wonder if we could fit 3 people, 3 cats, a border collie, and 2 goldfish in an rv long-term. I wonder what rv insurance costs? No matter what we decide we really want to pare down on the clutter we have so we’ve committed to spending 30 minutes a day clearing out the things we don’t need anymore. We’ve already tossed or packed to donate several boxes. It’s pretty cool to see 7 boxes of stuff turn into 1. Who knows, maybe by the time we’re ready to move we’ll be able to move without too much hassle, I sure hope so.
Make Some Noise
I’d never thought much about drums until a trip to the local music store the other day. I was investigating ideas for home school music class and decided to talk with their pro, Keith, about possible guitar classes for Miss Muffin. [Read more →]
