I’ve been having fun at Madmenyourself.com this morning. I’ve never watched the show Mad Men, but I love the 50s period clothes and decor and it does look like fun. I mocked up a little Julia, Sherri, and Kathleen for your viewing pleasure: Like playing paper dolls! You can use them for your Facebook profile [...]

It was sixteen years ago today, a Thursday, when a quiet morning at home with my husband (he worked nights on alternating weeks) and 26 month old son was interrupted by my realization that I was going into labor. We packed the son off to Grandma’s, headed to the hospital, and waited for the petite [...]

Yeah, That Howard Hunt

by Kathleen Givens
image

I went to see my uncle in New York over the weekend.  His health is not good and he spends a lot of time reading.  Mysteries, mostly, which he devours.  I always bring him a bunch of books, but nothing I brought could top the one he was already reading, HOUSE DICK, by E. Howard [...]

We’re back! Did you miss us? The Whine Sisters recently met up in Washington D.C. where Julia F. London was attending the Romance Writers of America conference as a RITA-award nominee (for best novella). Kathleen and Sherri were along for the ride, for support, and of course– to pick up gossip. Do you think Julia [...]

Packing Tips from a Non-Pro

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Throw it all in a suitcase and pray. That’s my one and only packing tip. I’m a terrible packer, and I really don’t care unless I can’t zip my suitcase. Oh wait, I do have another tip. Make sure you’re traveling to a place that will have an iron and ironing board handy upon arrival, [...]

Bath Day for Erwin Dogs

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

Why? Because I didn’t want to title this post after a luncheon meat that rhymes with ham. We get enough of it. You wouldn’t know from reading the blog, because we filter and read every comment before it’s posted. And trust me, if we read a comment on a blog post that is weeks, months, [...]

Yes, Fashion Week in Paris has arrived, and with it, the perfect everyday clothing for a man on the go.  Each year Jack London, Mr. Right, and His Majesty, eagerly await the unveiling of the clothes they just have to have for the fall season.  I can see why men everywhere flock to these events, [...]

It sounds so good to most women that we’ve actually named desserts after it. Unfortunately, the real deal was not so sweet for temp worker Vincent Smith II: CAMDEN, N.J. — Authorities say a man died after falling into a vat of melted chocolate in a New Jersey processing plant.

Post-Holiday Remorse

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

Did you do the grilled burgers and dogs thing? Maybe with a few beers or margaritas or, in my case, Tuscan Lemonades (limoncello, the mind eraser). A nice slice of flag cake on the side, or in my case, an irresistible wedge of Key lime pie? And now perhaps once the fireworks have ended and [...]
