Dear Reader, You know that one thing that you really like that you know people are going to think you’re crazy for liking? Yeah. For me it’s reality TV. Most reality TV I don’t like. Jersey Shore, Big Brother, those I don’t really care about. But there are some trashy reality TV shows that I Read More
Author: Sidney
It can never be said that Sidney Bristol has had a ‘normal’ life. She is a recovering roller derby queen, former missionary, and tattoo addict. She grew up in a motor-home on the US highways (with an occasional jaunt into Canada and Mexico), traveling the rodeo circuit with her parents. Sidney has lived abroad in both Russia and Thailand, working with children and teenagers. She now lives in Texas where she splits her time between a job she loves, writing, reading and belly dancing.
Bidding on Houses
Dear Reader, Today I’m not so calm. I have a few reasons to be a nervous wreck, but today I’ll tell you about one reason in particular. I’m offering on a house and they’re counter offering and I’m about to offer another lower price than I think the seller will take. A little known fact, Read More

On this Monday in July…
Happy 4th of July Don’t burn your house down.
Eenie Meenie Miney Moe
Dear Reader, I think I’ve mentioned that I’m in the market for a house. A place to buy and paint and call my own. To date I’ve looked at something between 30 and 40 houses. That’s a lot of bad paint jobs. Now that I’ve looked at that many I’ve narrowed it down to five Read More
Reality, sometimes it takes a while to set in.
Dear Reader, Last year my mother asked if I would go with her to Paris-Brest-Paris in August. I said sure! I didn’t think we would really go. I thought for sure she would decide it wasn’t worth it to go all the way to France. Today I calculated when I might hear back from my Read More
One Small Step for Me
Dear Reader, I don’t talk about my writing because I don’t want to bore you. Other people talk about writing and do it well. Not me. But today I’m going to share a few tidbits with you. Yesterday I not only pitched to editors, I submitted a novella to a publisher. In the big picture Read More
Is shaving a few seconds off your commute worth a child’s life?
Dear Reader, I have an admission. I like to color within the lines. I like rules. They tell me what I can do, and I have an idea of what I can get away with in the right circumstances. I firmly believe that rules are often in place for a reason. To keep you from Read More
