My friend is looking for a therapist who takes BadgerCare. Are any of you aware of a therapist or therapy group who takes the BC?

"New Moon" Buffy Style by =Sexton666 on deviantART

First of all I am very very relieved that the police have finally caught this man. It may not have been big news in the rest of the country, but it certainly was round here as the attacks occurred all over this area, including one about 15 years ago to an elderly lady who lived down my parents' road.

And so to last night.

Zap2it includes Normal Again in their "Pop-culture head trips" list. "As she rattles between realities, thanks to the effects of an encounter with a demon, the viewer is forced to wonder if Buffy's self-empowered superhero is in fact just the wishful thinking of a delusional girl".

JM's November Q & A .

Hey, guys. Sorry for being away for so long, but the last few days have been busy, busy! For those who didn't know, Thursday was my birthday, and instead of one day, I've had a 3.5-day birthday extravaganza of fun activities, cake tasting, and copy edits. (Okay, copy edits aren't generally an extravaganza kind of thing, but they are a necessary part of my life).

Anyway, I'll recap the highlights soon, but since I'm in a rush tonight, I just wanted to put in another plug for the hardcover edition of Vampire Academy that's being released on November 25. This is book #1 of the series, and they're just doing a limited run of it. Along with the hard cover, it's got a printed copy of my signature on the front and the first chapter of Spirit Bound in the back.





Some websites call it 'the signature edition,' but again: that means there's just a print of my signature on the front. If you're interested in the book and actually want me to autograph it to you on the inside, remember that you can order it signed by me from University Bookstore. On their website, they're calling it the "Deluxe Limited Edition Hardcover," and you can find it here with my other books. To get an autographed copy, make sure you follow these directions or you may get the book sent to you un-autographed! My page also has more information about ordering from U Bookstore and who to contact with questions. And of course, you can always buy books from any place you want! U Bookstore is just who I have the mail order signing deal with.

Okay, birthday recap coming later.

Wishing a belated Happy Birthday to fenderlove.
I hope it was a wonderful day.

I had intended to do a meal in a pumpkin type thing tonight... after looking over a variety of recipes (most of which either required cream of something soup, an "ingredient" I pretty much refuse to use, or things like "one box rice-a-roni"), I found comments on one of the more decent looking recipes from someone who simply used a Mexican Pork Stew recipe and cooked it in a pumpkin. Cool! I figured I'd just make something up... as long as it would taste good with cooked pumpkin in it, it would work! Then I got around to carving up the pumpkin and started scraping out the innards... and it quickly became apparent that it was way too old (the sides were literally shredding when I touched them). So, it went out in the yard waste bin and I pulled out the slow cooker.
