Tracking the Past
I recently found a new hobby. Okay, actually, it’s a new obsession. I have begun tracking my family tree. I have always wanted to do this, but felt I didn’t have the time. In fact, I don’t have any extra time, but I decided it was a more productive use of the time between when …
Making Moustaches!
Anyone who has been following fun and popular things to do lately has probably seen that pretend moustaches are a big deal. Sunglasses come with one attached, pre-glued ones abound, temporary tattoo finger ‘staches, even gold necklaces with jeweled moustache-shaped pendants! I thought I had blogged about the ‘staches I made this summer, and perhaps …
Cardboard Luxury Home
As a parent who is concerned about proper nutrition for her kids, I try to get the best food available. That said, I only have a certain amount of time per week, and I do not have the option of driving to the grocery store while my children are at school. Needless to say, …
New projects have been envisioned!
One year, I don’t remember whether we had a Christmas tree, but I do remember helping my mom cover the entire front room with kraft paper, and making presents and ribbons and even a life-size fireplace out of paper. We hung our stockings in front of the paper fireplace. It was like the world had been magically transformed, and my Mom became a hero because she had done this. I also recall a time when she sat on the floor with me and we drew pictures on haunted houses using my huge box of crayons. My Mom is a very creative person, and the times when I was able to share the creation of things with her are cherished moments. I even remember hunting together for pinecones and then dipping them in glue and glitter to make beautiful sparkling decorations.
My Life is Like a Spiderweb
Here it is, January 2012. Some believe it is the end of the world. Many of us know that the Mayan calendar does not end, but begins again. Does this mean that history is doomed to repeat itself, as the calendar repeats? One thing I have noticed over the past year (from filling out dates …
Geektober!
It’s here! The busiest month of my year! So much to do, and seemingly never enough time! I could shock you all with a listing of my schedule for the month, which includes fundraisers, PTA events, and oh so many birthday parties… but I don’t want to remind myself of the monumental size of my …
Maps and other exciting things!
I want to start out by mentioning that my post about books came a few days too soon, because it was just shy of the release date of No Small Bills, Aaron’s latest novel. It has only been out a few days, and has already been featured on the NOOK blog, and made it onto …
The Whirlwind that is Summer
As mentioned, I was planning to have guest bloggers all Summer because, naturally, it is a very busy season. It turns out that it is a very busy season for everyone, because several people have had schedule upheavals and weren’t able to send me their promised posts. No worries! I imagine there will be a …
Post-I-Con!
I-Con 29 went swimmingly well! It was great to be back, and for the convention to be back on the Stonybrook campus! I saw old friends, made new ones, and had an excellent time! My first panel was on Women in Gaming, and we had an excellent group of panelists as well as a bright …
The Trouble With Procrastination…
Jenifer Rosenberg ♦ January 23, 2013 ♦ Leave a Comment
…and that’s Trouble with a capital T! I am sure it will come as no surprise to many of you that I, like many people out there, would like to write a book. What might seem surprising is that I am actually about halfway through writing a book for which I have a carefully plotted …
