First rain of the fall season. Is it my imagination or do people forget how to drive in rain? Saw too many horrors on the road going to work the other day. I ain't kidding. It's scary out there sometimes.

My neicies Halloween mural got smudged during the rain. Will fix when things dry out. The one good thing about rainy days is that they make great baking days. I am elbow deep in dough, spices, frosting ... and there's still lots of orders to fill. The breads and muffins are done. I have cookies to bake and decorate. That's my fave part. (I never make pies this early in the holiday season.) Why do I put myself through this headache every year? It stems from my love of baking; plus I'm darn good at it.

Things You Don't Know About ME!:

When I was little I had an imaginary lion, otter and bat: Rori, MidgeBell and Vinnie.

I am absolutely no good at knitting. While being instructed by a friend's mom in the art of scarf making, I accidentally stabbed her in the hand. She needed stitches.

I've written books and stories about vampires that don't sparkle.

I once got muddled and told a school that I had a daughter, and had to make up a whole story about her.

I hate brussel sprouts.

My favourite journey is the number 242 bus route; it trundles along beside awesome places and takes me home.

I really like cars, and would LOVE to have a Mustang Convertible. If anyone’s got one going spare ... please send it c/o ME.

I'm rather nervous of kangaroos, especially when they hop and stare at me.

My favourite dessert is chocolate. Or raspberries. Or both together. Or pumpkin bread.

I am unusually hopeful.

My favorite colour is the Colour of Magick.

I read more than I watch tv.
