I wrote this post years ago and realized that I am almost always the loser of this game. Lola plays it so well in our new house that I sometimes panic when I can’t find her. I recently taught Lola a new game to play. Since she has spent the past three years shadowing me, I…

It’s official, I am now a paid professional writer. Holy crap! I know I’ve been saying for the past six months that I’m a freelance writer, but honestly that was mostly just a cover to enjoy sitting at home watching trashy TV. But now, it’s finally official, I am a freelance writer. I was accepted…
