Another Manuscript Request!!!

April 30, 2006

Okay, my hands are shaking so bad right now. Wait, Stephanie, begin at the beginning. Okay, deep breath. Today was the first real “Steph” day I’ve had in a while. The spring cleaning is done, the tenant is evicted, the sun was out, and I had nothing to do. What a lovely change. After a […]

Fired Up! (Or trying to be…)

April 26, 2006

In the past two weeks I’ve attended two academic events — the 4th annual Hastings Race and Poverty Law Journal Symposium “Reviving the Dream: Confronting Racism in the 21st Century” (my brother Eric is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal :-), and an event at UCSC co-sponsored by my Department, “The War on Terror: A Credible […]

It's Raining Babies!

April 23, 2006

Okay, well not really, but where did the term “baby shower” come from anyway? lol Regardless of the origins, it seems to be accurate enough — there are definitely babies everywhere! But as long as they’re not mine, it’s all good… Bill and Jes’s baby shower was this weekend, and we all gathered (minus mom […]

Random Run-Ins with an Ex

April 21, 2006

My first two novels revolve around Samantha Merrick and her two main love interests — Jake Clayton and Tony Carteris. While SOUL MATES focuses on Jake, WHEN LOVE ISN’T ENOUGH is Tony’s story, set in our college years. The Tony character is a blend of my first two soulmates, and WHEN LOVE is the fictionalized […]

Happy 420!!!

April 20, 2006

There are two days I take off every year — my birthday and 4/20. Thankfully the sun is shining, and so far it has been a beautiful day… Got flirted up by the teller at the bank (he wasn’t half bad either), took myself out to breakfast at Linda’s, engaged in a little retail therapy […]

Striving Towards Minimalism

April 18, 2006

One of the most-read books in my home is Feng Shui Your Life by Jayme Barrett. I pull it out and read it every Spring because it re-orients me towards conscious living while powering me through my annual Spring Cleaning ritual. Granted, I did things a little backwards this time, lol. I painted first, then […]

Changes on the Homefront

April 15, 2006

Well there is a lot of change happening on the homestead… The living room remodel is now complete. A top to bottom clutter-clearing mission has been accomplished… And today a new tenant moves in for a short stint. The sun continues to play hide and seek (but wasn’t last Thursday a beautiful day!), but life […]

Dancing in the rain w/ Big & Rich and Cowboy Troy

April 11, 2006

I took a break from my spring cleaning/painting on Sunday to drive up to Clear Lake to see Big and Rich & Cowboy Troy in concert. Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa is my favorite place to see a concert (besides Vegas), so I was excited to make the journey, even though I had to go […]

Don't Know What You Got til It's Gone…

April 8, 2006

People seldom appreciate things fully until after they’ve lost them. This is a theory I’ve proven time and time again in my own life, and this week was no exception. You may have noticed the severe case of sun deprivation I’ve been experiencing. I recently read a very interesting article in the Sentinel on Seasonal […]
