The Lie of Thanksgiving
I’m gonna start this off by saying that we do celebrate Thanksgiving. We cook a feast, and we eat. But you won’t see a Macy's parade on our television. Instead, it’s probably something to entertain young kids- that does not indulge in the massive disgusting, lie that is Thanksgiving.

Amazon's 2024 Holiday Invitation- Only Sales
I personally am a devoted Christmas Shopper. Generally, by November, I have at least 90% of my Christmas shopping completely done. I buy things throughout the year for my family. We struggle way too hard to feel the Christmas time crunch, okay? So when Black Friday deals come around I am happy to be able to pick and choose which deals I want to cash in on, and be able to even afford some of those bigger price-tag gifts. And since I have big-crowd anxiety, Black Friday shopping in a store is absolutely out of the question. So, I stay online for the Holiday Deals, and do my best to leave the craziness to the Fight Class humanoids of the world.

The Wandering Dragon Medieval Market
If my clan is going to drag me from my hovel beneath my rock kicking and screaming - they better be taking me to where there is food or faeries. Or faeries that feed me. The last week of October provided such an outing at the Expo Center in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Getting a Real Estate License in Tennessee
Writing is my real passion. I run my own eBay business, and I am dragging my first published novel through another edit and publish. But aside from that, I cannot say that writing is a sustainable way to supplement income for my family. Neither is being a substitute teacher...

Bye-Bye Baby Bottles!
There are 3 types of babies in the world. The ones that self-ween off the pacifier (binkie, bop, whinge-corker, whatever you call it), normal or average children who ween off these two brand-new human items, and then … there’s the ones who intend on pushing you to follow through with the threat of: “I brought you into this world, I’ll take you out!” Before letting go of their right to suck on things that imitate the good portion of a woman’s boob, these last types of kids will put up a loud, persistent fight that will probably make you drive yourself to the nearest liquor store.
