by Julia London

I know you guys have heard me complain about the half wall between my kitchen and living area that I despise.  It doesn’t serve any purpose but to block the sight of people in the living room, and to block the sight of people in the kitchen.  Tell me how ridiculous this is: So I [...]

Let’s Chat

Picture of an actual, on-sale-now romance novel

It’s Friday, I can’t think of anything to blog about.  No thoughtful topics, no celebrity crushes, no products I’d like to endorse.  I have two thoughts in mind today:  WHY must Moose lick himself so much?  The other thought is about all the things I need to do the book I am writing, and the [...]

In college, I hung out with a big circle of friends.  I had a crush on one of the guys, but I never told him. Maybe because he had a girlfriend, or maybe because I was afraid I would ruin the friendship.  There was another guy in our group who finally confessed one night at [...]

Academy Awards 2012

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Billy Crystal came back to host and give us a presumably good show (mediocre in reality, not bad but not exciting). The Artist won. Jean Dujardin won. Meryl won. Christopher Plummer won. Octavia won. What else do we need to know? Who wore what! Of course. The gowns! The glam! The gah, what was she [...]

I Give Madonna Props

by Julia London

There are a lot of people talking about Madonna’s half time performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday.  Was it the best show ever?  No.  But I thought it was pretty good as those things go.  Is she the best half-time performer ever?  I don’t think so, but I couldn’t tell you who’s done better.  [...]

by Julia London

There is something bugging me, and it’s the phrase, “At the end of the day.”   You hear it on TV, you hear it a LOT in presidential debates.  You hear it from friends, read it in papers and, if you’re like me, you say it.  At the end of the day, we are going to [...]

I was at the hair salon the other day, flipping through US Weekly, and I came to the Who Wears it Best? page.  The two actress both had on a dress that was bright orange on top and bright pink on the bottom.  Interesting, I thought.  And then I read that color-blocking is the hot [...]

by Julia London

When I was growing up, Santa generally delivered one great gift, an orange, and some underwear or socks.  Mom and Dad came through with some extra gifts, and we four kids were expected to get our parents and sibling small gifts, and enjoy it, by God.  Ha! Our take Christmas morning was not a big [...]

Shoe Evolution!

by Julia London

Someone recently told me about the Stiletto Stampede, at which you do a 100 yard dash in stilettos.  I told this person that I could have done it many years ago.  I wore heels every day, and I would run to catch the yellow line into DC.   No one believes me now. But those days [...]

Birthday Cake!

by Julia London

If you have been to a kid’s birthday cake lately, you have probably seen a themed cake with a lot of heavy, thick frosting.  The kids like that thick, creamy, nothing-but-sugar icing, and the adults like big slabs of cake.  Popular themes are fairies, princesses, Spongebob, and transformers. If you are like me, a square [...]

Nosy Neighbors

by Julia London

I had my dog trained to run and walk off leash.  I didn’t do it myself, I had a professional do it, and the upshot is that Moose stays with me, he doesn’t bother other dogs, and he doesn’t bother people.  We have been doing this for eighteen months now.  I can count on one [...]

Like many of us here, I had a mother who was an avid reader and a library hound.  We went once or twice a week.  She also had an extensive set of books at home that filled several bookshelves.  Perusing her library was almost as much fun as going to the library. Recently, my mom [...]

Guys and Dolls

by Julia London

Recently, a friend and  I were talking about my next historical series.  She made some off the cuff remark about having three guys do something or other.  I said, why guys?  She said, why not guys?  I said, why not dolls?  She said, why dolls?  Clearly, we were on opposite ends of the argument. I [...]
