Hats, Boots, & Chocolate

    I promise I have not dropped off the face of the earth. I have, however, been rather busy. For your information, here is a short list of my adventures:     1. The last two weeks, I've had finals. During which time I had to do a massive overhaul on my research paper for English 2010... in two days. I also had a couple of smaller papers to write for Philosophy, some art to do for my English companion piece, and a Philosophy final exam to complete. Most of it wasn't too hard, but with it all added together I didn't have the brain cells to do all that and blog all at once. :)     2.

It was to start at 8:30 pm and continue until 11:00, and I didn't decide that I wanted to go until 9:30. For once, I wasn't going to be absurdly early.     ... We're authors around here. We know that it's never--and I repeat, never --that simple.     See, I'm a tiny bit ADHD. I'm also a teeny  bit dyslexic (And I mean that quite unsarcastically). For the most part, my brain functions perfectly!     But tonight? Hoo, boy! Tonight my brain shorted out completely, leaving me ...
