The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

Fun Stuff (I'm doing now or have done)

  • Artistic Attempts weekly (alternating between Painting With A Twist, That Art Place, and Peniot's Palette).
  • Bunko with the Belton Bunko Babes monthly.
  • Participating in the A to Z Blogging Challenge.
  • Spades and Liverpool Rummy with the Spadetts weekly.
  • The Mighty Texas Dog Walk, Austin (fund raiser for Service Dogs, Inc--they train shelter dogs to be Service Dogs, then give them free of charge to people with disabilities.)

Real Life Trumps Escapism.

So I finished the cozy I started the other day (it came from Amazon the day I finished the first in the series-perfect timing). The third book in the series did not arrive today (I got it from Amazon as well, but it was from a partner), so I had to start another series. I chose the current read because the protagonist is a glass blower filling in for an injured artist who demos on a cruise ship. What a cool job is that?!

Because I'm a dweeb, I read the authors acknowledgments and thank yous. Tucked away in this non-story part of the book was a website for a glassblowing studio that assisted the author with research. Since I've created a couple small pieces at the  Salado Glassworks studio and some fused glass at That Art Place here in Belton, I checked out the link. They offer some very nice projects and classes. I checked out the classes and their calendar, then it was time to dig into the novel.

A couple chapters into my newest read I received a text from That Art Place telling me my fused glass flamingo is ready for pickup.  The dilemma: continue reading or pick up my creation?

The murder hasn't occured yet...so duh!
