Welcome to my chaotic part of the world, thanks for stopping by.

This site is devoted to sharing my personal blog, “Married to ‘Middle-aged’ Maverick,” which is about my husbands continuous antics and thrill seeking adventures. When I am not trying to keep him on the ground, you can also find me as a new contributor for two new websites: 

             

Sadly 50-something Moms is no longer, but you can still view my posts at 50-Something Moms Blog.

Check out the launch of my brand new canine blog, “Ruff Hausen”: The Real House Dogs of Minneapolis.  Meet Teddy, Maggie and Sadie, our Fur-ball Trio.  Sadie doubles as a mole during their escapades as they try to elude getting caught. It is always a case of, ”It wasn’t me.”  These hounds of the Baskervilles make my husband howl with delight and make me a Basket Case.

 You may also view my work, which has been published on various sites like Humor Press, Long Story Short, Mom Writer’s Literary Magazine, Simple Joy, The Cynic Magazine and Heart Warmers/Pet Warmers.   I have dabbled in both fiction and non-fiction, and my dream for 2011 is to write my first novel.  My first love continues to be writing humor and inspirational stories.

I am also a contributor of an anthology that is a collection of published funny stories from the online publication, Humor and Life in Particular.  It includes 12 years worth of their humor writing contests winning entries from 1997-2009. The brand new book, “Laugh Your Shorts Off: Short stories to make you giggle by award winning writers,” is hot off the presses and available via Amazon.

This is the canine initiation ritual in our house, enjoy!:
