rat school time walked
I was a library rat and a bookworm. I read all the time. I walked to school reading books. I read under my desk.
consists home laptop mind toddler worst
Worst part of being a writer: having to tell my toddler that I can't play with her because I'm working. Keep in mind that working consists of me at home with a laptop on my lap sitting on the couch. It doesn't look like working. I don't have a hammer or anything.
arts excited good kid liberal signed
My husband and I were excited about having a kid - it was having a baby that had us worried. We had a lot to learn, so like good liberal arts graduates, we signed up for a class.
beauty fact love natural seen skip strikes surrounded walk woods
I love the fact that we are surrounded by this spectacular natural beauty that routinely strikes us dead. Hikers walk off into the woods and are never seen again. And still we tug on our fleece and skip off into the wilderness, not a care in the world.

thinking
Whatever you think this is going to be like," she whispers, "it's going to be worse.
running ideas serial-killer
Great. First the anonymous call. Now letters. Body parts all over town. It was like a scavenger hunt for psychos. Running after clues with a half-deranged, serial-killer-obsessed, recovering-addict cop was not a good idea. Then again...
people ugly attention
Ugly people kill people all the time. But when pretty people did, it got attention.
people killing diets
There will be time to diet when people stopped killing one another.
facts complicated retarded
Our relationship is complicated by the fact that I am emotionally retarded.
