• #AugustAudio: Family Treed

    Well, we’re over halfway through #AugustAudio! If you haven’t tried an audio book, or even if you have, be sure to check out the hashtag #AugustAudio to score some free audio books. This week, I’m sharing a short one. “Family Treed” is the short story between Relatively Risky and Dead Spaces. If you’re not sure…

  • Boo to You, Too (Happy Halloween!)

    And now I’m off to eat some Halloween candy. (grin) Have  a great day! Perilously yours, Pauline When Pauline isn’t sneaking into the Halloween candy, she is writing books and short stories. Sometimes she scares herself with her perilously romantic fiction. Her most recent release is a short story called Family Treed: The Big Uneasy…

  • Houston, We have Autumn…

    I don’t know about you, but as the weekend closes in, I need things to lighten up a bit. And it’s autumn. Even here in Houston is is slightly cooler. And we have pumpkins, though not this display. This photo comes from the #hermitroadtrip. I pulled it from the hub’s Fickr page because it was…

  • Are You Depends-Able?

    When I first latched onto this photo, I had no idea what I’d write about. I mean, it’s people in Depends. Runners in Depends. I don’t run and I don’t need Depends. Yet. Not saying I couldn’t have used some during the #hermitroadtrip, but didn’t. But I liked the theme of their quirky choice. Each…

  • Sagging Middles Suck Dead Toads

    I had sagging middles on the brain when I saw this photo in the hubs Flickr feed. Gravity has not been kind to my middle, but that’s not actually the middle plaguing me at the moment. Or should I say it is not the only middle plaguing me. O.O As an author, I fear the…

  • I Was Not in This Race…

    …but one of my daughters was and the hubs was there taking pictures. I had to share because I think the banner is a hoot. (I know, using hoot makes me sound old. News flash, I am old.) Though I did not run, it must be confessed, if Sasquatch was chasing me, I would run.…

    A Blooming Challenge

    Many many many many years ago, just prior to our launch into the real world (from university life), we stayed a few transitional days with my great aunt. She’d lived long and prospered. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) She’d also traveled widely on account of her hubby’s job. She’d lived in great places. She’d lived in…

  • Traveling with the Parents (#hermitroadtrip)

      You’ve seen the funny, road trip movies. Traveling with the parents or quirky friends and you laugh because you’re secure in knowing you’re Not Those People. So it was a bit of a shock to realize, um, yeah, I might be one of Those People. That yes, Our Daughter is traveling with us for…

  • What I Learned from Falling on my Butt

    The photograph has nothing to do with the topic of this blog post. I picked it because it made me laugh. And because there are no pictures of me falling on my butt (thank goodness). First I’ll set the scene. I was in New York with my daughter. I made a rookie mistake of wearing…
