Among the innumerable permutations of Mr. Murphy’s law, there is most definitely one that states, “The plague will only strike on a weekend.” Preferably Sunday, when not even the urgent care clinic is open. What makes it worse–for as long as I’ve had a child, I’ve worked in and around medical clinics. Give me a(…)
Okay, ‘thief’ may be a strong word, but we had that whole discussion about catchy titles and all that between the Romancers here, so that’s really what that’s about. I could have gone with the case of Keri’s missing things or something. Our Liz is more like an accidental lifter who takes care of the(…)
Here at Everybody Needs a Little Romance, the focus is quite often, and correctly so, on romance. We all love romance. However, we write romance in a variety of genres.

Time to break out the St. Patrick’s Day decorations! Whoo hoo! What? Not everyone has two moving boxes filled with shamrocks, leprechauns, and glittery pots o’ gold? I’m shocked. Shocked, I say! Like all nice Irish-American girls of a certain age, I grew up in a house with framed photos of Pope John XXIII and(…)
We all know the woes of having a telemarketer call at dinner time or when you are in the midst of an important scene that needs your full concentration. In short, telemarketers are a pain in the arse. But what if those calls were cranked up times ten and were coming every hour day after(…)
I adore my dogs. Really. Adore them! and yes, they have very tough lives! However, the only doggie couture they will ever know is a dog collar. Oh, they might get a new collar, but only if and when their “every day” collar has worn through. However, I am discovering there are people who don’t(…)
I don’t know about you, but with the cold weather comes awful, itchy, dry skin that drives me crazy. I’ve tried all kinds of lotions and creams, but haven’t found any that help. My skin is dry to start with, so any drop in humidity and I’m miserable. My oldest daughter and I went to(…)
