This is Dani Smith

 

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne. I am a writer in Texas. I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies. I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate. I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough. Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas. If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing. Don’t be a stealer. Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Sonar Scrabble

    A recent round of Sonar ScrabbleThat purple table in the background, the one covered with years of stickery goo, is our coffee table, called—oddly enough—the Purple Table.

    My favorite word on the board is "_icar." "Vice" is good too. Does anyone supervise these children?

    I love and miss the purple table! Glad to see little people using vibrant words these days. :)

    Ha. Cass, I just noticed that "quid" is on there too. Someone must be letting these kids watch British TV or something. xo
