[Pen/Pencil Blog] Revisit (sort of) of the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica – 0.4mm
I bet you realized there hasn’t been a pen blog this week. You would be right. Day Job is eating my brain this week – along with the suddenly blooming ornamental pear trees and a bunch of other things. Hello, Spring. Nice to see you. Anyway, in the group of pens I got for Christmas […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] Christmas Blog
Yesterday was Monday but it was also Christmas and I didn’t (obviously) do a blog. I did get a number of pens and pencils for the holiday that I’ll be discussing in the future. The plans are also for (finally) getting some organization done on (oh so many) things that was started in 2017 but […]
[Writer Post] Countdown to … All Kinds of Stuff
There are so many countdowns right now. Countdown to 2018. Countdown to Christmas. And most important (to me) Countdown to Vacation! In just TWO DAYS, I’m off work until January 2nd. It’s the first time in a very, very long time that I have time off that isn’t just a day or two for a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Nightmare Before Christmas Rerun–Because
I’m doing another rerun post deliberately and not because I just didn’t get something done (that, too), but this is the only “Christmas” themed pen set that HASN’T been repeated since I first wrote about it. And even though it’s a repeat, I’m doing my best to get back on track. Holidays are busy and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Christmas Haul
Just in case anyone was concerned… the pen blog is safe for a while. Thanks to wonderful people in my life who totally enable me. I still have to clean out the GIANT BOX OF PENS – which is part of the Grand Organizational Process of 2017. JetPens did an awesome black ink sampler… so […]
[Writer Post] Season’s Confessions
Merry Wednesday Before Christmas. All is TRYING to be Merry and Bright, but I admit this year the holidays a bit of a struggle. It’s not just because 2016 has been a year punctuated by a random acts of suckage, but because there’s also been a lot of OFF. I know I say I don’t […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A 2016 Holiday Best of – Sort Of
As 2016 comes to a close, there’s still time for a couple more pen blogs. It’s been a hard year with loss and change and SO MUCH DRAMA causing some stutters along the way. Thanks for hanging with me as I muddled my way through the year and still sometimes stumble to get things done. […]
[Writer Blog] ‘Tis the Season
For Hallmark Movies. While I’m in Maryland, I have access to the Hallmark Channel and a room to myself. So I’m decompressing from my class by having sappy Christmas movies playing in the background. And now apparently they have a Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel. THEY SO NEED AN APP! It’s one of those times […]
