Going Down In Flames Writing Learning Curve

ChrisFor Writers, home

There is a definite learning curve when it comes to writing and you learn things about yourself along the way. I learned that I’m obsessed with food. Have I always enjoyed food? Yes. Do I fantasize about being able to suck down an entire package of chocolate covered double stuffed mint Oreo’s without consequences? Yes.  Did I realize my characters … Read More

Polyvore: My New Addiction

Chrishome

I recently discovered Polyvore. It’s kind of like Pinterest, but it lets you create collections of clothing or furniture or just about anything else you want. Here is an example.  I dream of one day walking a red carpet wearing a fabulous dragon ensemble. The odds of this happening are zero to none.  But just in case I get the … Read More

About a month ago, a new social media site cropped up all over Facebook called tsu (pronounced Sue). It seems to be a lot like Facebook. You can friend or follow people. You can customize the opening screen with banners and text. Here’s a screenshot of what the site looks like.                     … Read More

Lego Death Star Conundrum

One of my nephews asked for the Star Wars Lego Death Star for Christmas. I love my nephew, but the Lego Death Star costs $399.00, which kind of blows my budget for xmas presents. The kit comes with over 3000 tiny little ankle breaking parts. Anyone who has ever stepped on a Lego barefoot knows the ankle breaking part to … Read More

While I don’t personally dress my three beasts for the holidays, I do like looking/laughing at photos of dogs who are wearing antlers or other assorted Christmas costumes. The last one is my favorite. I’m pretty sure he’s planning on using his owner’s shoes as a chew toy in the near future. Have … Read More

My nephews are all old enough that they want very specific things like games I’ve never heard of or skylander characters from games I’ve never heard of. I’m about ready to cave and buy them gift cards with notes that read, “This is a … Read More

Snippets from Bridges Burned

Chrishome, YA

You may have noticed my site has a new color scheme. I’m trying to go for something a little less eye-bleeding, but I love color. If you’ve seen the photo of my banner  you’ll notice my walls are turqouise. At least the ones in the foyer and kitchen are. You can see a slice of the opposite wall which is … Read More
