Erotic Cyn for your senses

So, I’ve been dealing with a small yet potent problem- my giant computer screen and my HD tv have been giving me motion sickness. I see a specialist in about 2 weeks. So in the meantime, I’ve been trying to keep things to a minimum on both, which doesn’t always bode well when I want to watch a cool movie with the male in my life. *sigh* But it also means me and my pda have been making friends again– especially after the slight problem with the fact that Palm does NOT have drivers for Windows 7 yet for my Tungsten E2. *growls* But when Cyn realized– “Hey, I have like a card reader built in”, I managed to do a bit of finagling around that problem.

I’m often asked about who my favourite hero is when I write. Funny thing is, my favourite isn’t one of my own. In fact, he’s the creation of Elizabeth Peter’s (aka Dr. Barbara Mertz aka Barbara Michaels). Read the rest of this entry »

I have to apologize to my readers of my blog and my books. Recently, I’ve been physically ill and mentally as well. In fact, my psychologist determined that I had a meltdown. Right now, I’m struggling with coming to terms with it. The worst part is my ability to cope. I’m struggling to get back on track,  but bear with me a bit as I work towards regularity in things.

Thanks to you all

I’ve got my new computers and I’m moving everything over to them. Lucky me. The toughest part is finding the NOW stuff. Gods, I’m hoping I can get it all done by the end of the week. Today is the anniversary of Mom’s death and I’m kinda…out of it but at the same time, I know my mom’s watching over me today. Wore a Hawaiian shirt in her honour and could hear her laughing at me. It’s the whole “relax” thing I need to learn.

One major thing– I can’t believe that Palm has NOT made drivers for Windows 7 to work with my E2. I’m very upset as it means I can’t upload my ebooks onto my pda. *growls* They need to find a fix and FAST. If I have to spend MORE money to get a bluetooth thingie for this computer which I just paid a lot of money for– I’m going to be very upset. I should be able to use my USB cradle. *growls*

So, it’s the New Year and I’m puppy hunting. That’s right, I’m looking for a dog. Not a cat, to which I have allergies, but a dog. A lovely, cute dog that I can cuddle, walk and play with. You think it’d be easy– but NO. Why? *looks towards the living room* There is someone else to consider who wants a BIG dog. Now, we live in an apartment. We can have up to a 30-40lb beast if we want. I want something smaller that can walk with me regularly and I won’t have to worry about the knick knacks becoming garbage fodder. He wants something substantial and not a frou frou dog as he puts it. Read the rest of this entry »

So, the fam was here and we celebrated Christmas together. Can we say it was both fun and at the same time– nerve-wracking. It was great to see the family together. Seriously. I even surprised my newly pregnant sister, which was absolutely fantastic. My male and I got a couple of gifts for the baby, since we figure technically she (we’re hoping it’s a she, but a he is just as welcome!) was a guest too. Read the rest of this entry »

Today I’m listening to an old favourite- “Jingle Bones” from the Disney Christmas album and giggling madly. Why? Because this album is from my childhood and I realized how much this album played in my psyche as I grew up. I’m a witch/druid/eclectic pagan who loves holidays and enjoys her family and friends in varying doses. (Too much and I so need solitude!) But more than that– Yule is approaching as is Mithra’s birthday and Christmas and my family will be here for the first year ever. This is the first year we’ll have been together since we were kids for the holidays. I’m excited, nervous and want everything to go according to plan– which amuses my male and my psychiatrist both. It’s even funnier to them both to know I’ve even programmed in the chaos and last minute changes that are bound to happen as well. Read the rest of this entry »

I make jewelry. Occasionally, I get asked to make some for friends of mine. Sometimes, I get asked for a favour to make some for a bridal party or more. So, people wanted to see some of my jewelry. I suck at taking pictures of my jewelry, but can take pictures of people. LOL

So here are pictures of my jewelry. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been AWOL since Sunday. In fact, I’ve spent the past few days in the hospital. Funny thing is, I knew I’d end up there, but I didn’t know how bad I really was. First, I had to face the H1-N1 scare– and trust me, I was scared silly on having it or not. Luckily I don’t. But then I had to face an unpleasant truth- I’ve got asthma. You hear the word and you don’t think it’s that bad. But then the doctors and the respiratory therapists explain just how bad it is to you and the type of damage it can do to your lungs– permanently– and you realize something- you’re REALLY sick. 

So, I’m home, I’m to take it easy until I see my docs and get clearance on things. I’m afraid. I’m scared, but I know I need to go slow- something I have a hard time doing. But the alternative is constantly coughing and gasping for breath because I’ve moved too fast and rushed doing something instead of taking it slower than normal. 

I’m working on the Sex Ed article, but give me til the weekend. We’re going to be talking about Sex Drives again– especially in dealing with the emotional aspects of it.

Today is Lammas and I’m taking a small moment to wish everyone a happy Harvest day. More importantly, I’m sharing my recipe for a barbecue sauce I created this morning. We’re having smoked pork that will become pulled pork and lots of fun foods.  Who knows, I might share a couple more recipes to enjoy this summer time. Read the rest of this entry »
