I think we should rename the day to Super Sale Friday, Screaming Deals Friday, or… how about Shop Until You Drop Friday? Then there is…The Day After Thanksgiving. Perhaps that one is too on the nose and not clever enough. … Read More Black Friday
So…I know I’ve written about the history of Valentine’s Day before, so I went on a duckduckgo search (my new way to search for obscure information due to Google’s recent asshattery) and found an article about 25 fun facts on this day of love. As a romance writer, I’ve got to throw away any cynical… Read More Happy Valentines Day!
One word…interoception. What? Yup…that’s what I said…because how many of you know what the heck interoception means. Well…have no fear because I’m going to tell you all about it! I briefly entertained the idea of the title of this blog being, interoception. But then I figured it wasn’t nearly as sexy a title as the… Read More The Secret to Better Orgasms…
I think that most people would agree that infidelity is a very bad thing. In fact, in lesbian romance there are a fair number of individuals that will not read a book if a main character, or sometimes, any character, cheats on their lover/girlfriend/wife. Interestingly enough, I read an article recently that talked about the… Read More Infidelity, Oh My!
As I was sitting on the beach enjoying the sunshine, I read this article that definitely caught my interest. I’d never heard the term before and tried to remember if I’d ever read a book where this particular concept came into play. So…anyway…what is Cushioning for those of you who also have never heard this… Read More Cushioning
Since I’ve done blogs on both Thanksgiving and Black Friday over the years, I thought I would change things up. This past week as I was scrolling through the news, I came across this really interesting article (yup, although I vowed not to torment myself after the election, that vow quickly dissipated). Apparently, I am… Read More Is This Normal…
Here’s the thing…I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t really know much about an Advent Calendar other than it happens around Christmas. Since my father was a committed Atheist married to a good Catholic girl, my mother’s influence on our upbringing related to spirituality was hidden and limited. As an adult, I chose to become confirmed, mostly because I had a crush on a Catholic girl and probably wanted to impress her. But that is a whole other story.… Read More Advent Calendar
Total transparency…this blog is mostly a rerun because I’m still in a food coma from yesterday and simply could not get my brain moving…but it’s a goodie! Today is Black Friday, and personally, I think that is a gruesome name for the day. Years ago, I talked with my nephew’s wife at our annual traditional… Read More Black Friday
As the holiday fast approaches, I started thinking of how much further from the original meaning this holiday has traveled. Not unlike Christmas, the commercialization of this holiday has traveled a long road. Second only to Christmas in food sales, last year’s sales the week prior to Thanksgiving amounted to 2.8 billion in sales, up… Read More Commercialization of Thanksgiving
I almost never say Merry Christmas in the month of December, except for on December 25th. This isn’t because I don’t respect this major Christian Holiday or because I don’t celebrate Christmas (even though I would characterize myself as agnostic bordering on atheist). No, the reason is that I choose to be more inclusive of… Read More Happy Holidays
