In weird times we all need some music. I’m offering a random selection today to help pass the time in quarantine.

What Kind of Meat Are You?
From 2015. The kids are grown now but I thought I’d entertain you with this again. Don’t forget to answer the polls.
Way back when, back before I had teenagers, back before I knew what a blog was, back when Microsoft had Front Page and we did html by hand…
Years ago when the kids were playing Club Penguin I discovered Facebook. I didn’t think much of My Space. Anyway, a family member sucked me into Facebook. Way back then I discovered goofy polls. Mind you this was before cat memes and horrible inspirational quotes took over. This was back when you could easily create your own polls.
I used to LOVE polls in women’s magazines about relationship styles and clothing styles. The polls were fun. The polls always had something to do with relationships or sex or style. It was fun. Admit it – you did those polls too.
One day I sat at my computer, a toddler on my lap, and I tried to make my own poll. It was called “What Kind of Meat are You.” Yes, I did think that was funny. But it was never to be.
Back then blogs were also a mystery. They were difficult and serious or political. Fast forward about a million years. I’m writing a blog. I’m writing. I know other writers. I’ve evolved (thank you WPaD and Becky for your support.)
Hold on for a second…. a teenager needs to use this computer to do her online drivers ed so I’d better cut to the chase. Blogs were difficult and serious or religious. Parenting blogs were HORRIBLE and full of the kind of mom I never wanted to be.
But then I started this blog and discovered that I’m not alone. No, not the Vampire Parenting stuff, but the fact that the world is full of fun and unusual and creative and unique bloggers.
But that takes me back to polls. I was thinking about polls. Let us do some polls RIGHT NOW.
How old are you?

Random Survey #4: What will be in your super bowl (or on your paper plate) this Sunday?
It is Saturday and time for a RANDOM SURVEY!!!!!!
Yes YOU get to tell everyone what you’re going to snack on tomorrow. We all know that the Super Bowl is just an excuse to watch super expensive and hopefully entertaining commercials and EAT. That is why they call it a BOWL.
This Sunday the San Francisco 49ers, GO NINERS, will be playing some team named the Chiefs in the Super Bowl Game.
That means FOOD. Yes, FOOD and COMMERCIALS. Everyone get ready to watch the Budweiser Horses and get a little wet eyed. And this year there is FINALLY a team, MY TEAM, that I will actually watch play FOOTBALL.
Anyway, I don’t eat much at these events because I’m a Vampire an a lot of food just makes me sick. But you might be eating some wonderful things. After all the game is just an excuse to eat and drink. It is a celebration of sports, friends, and fun.
Honey, don’t you need a pot holder? You can tell she is some sort of paranormal person, because otherwise her hand would be burning. By the way I’m making an apple pie AND a cheese cake for the party I’m attending.
Answer the survey. You can pick up to ten answers to fill your plate. Woo Hoo. Or leave your favorite food suggestions and recipes in the comments section below.
Go Niners!
Have fun!

96 Colors
96 Colors
Yesterday my new set of 96 Firm Pastel Color Sticks (Prismacolor Nupastel) landed on my front porch along with pastel paper to draw on.
I am so excited.
NINETY SIX COLORS! AND PAPER 18 x 24 INCH PAPER!
It has been years since I’ve created any serious fine artwork. Sure I doodle and still occasionally do graphic design shit but I’m ready to start working on a grander scale again.
So what are YOUR goals for today?
- Do something creative (even if it is fixing something without instructions.)
- Seek out color.
- Keep away from bad blood (for both Vampires and non-Vampires.)
- Laugh.
- Look at the moon (Werewolves – that is up to your discretion.)
- Talk to your kids. Hug them. Listen to them. Encourage them.
- Go to a museum (I will be there.)
- Banish Demons (especially the ones with the big leathery wings and yellow eyes.)
- Have fun.

Burning Question #44: 2019 Resolutions
Get it together Gentlemen!
Happy New Year. It is now 2019 and time for Burning Question #44.
Every January 1st people resolve to get organized, lose weight, learn to sing, be a better parent, become a Vampire, write that novel, blog every single friggin day, write poetry more, or do SOMETHING they’ve been putting off. It is called RESOLUTIONS.
The other day a friend of mine told me that she does unresolutions. She gets rid of something. This year she decided not to wear skirts for work anymore. Last year it was to get rid of pantyhose. Another year she got rid of something else she didn’t like to do.
Burning Question #44: Do you have any resolutions for 2019?
Note: YOU, yes YOU, can click as many answers as you want on this poll. Don’t feel like you have to limit yourself.
Are you going to cook more meals at home in 2019?
But seriously, did you make any resolutions for 2019? What do you plan on doing or not doing? Do you care? Let us know. Leave a comment below. Leave a bunch of comments. Do whatever you want. You can’t even leave an unrelated comment. I don’t care (yes I do. I want you to leave a comment.)

The Art of Writing Love Letters is Alive and Well (even for Zombies and Ghosts)
My brother Val always says “love isn’t a physical thing. It is a meeting of souls. Be it friendship or romantic lovers, it is something we can write about and dream about, but we can never truly explain or define it.”
The Art of Writing Love Letters is Alive and Well (even for Zombies & Ghosts)
The most popular post on this blog is “How to respond to a love letter.” Really. Seriously, go on Google and look up how to respond to a love letter and it will bring you right back here. Out of the zillion or so things I’ve written on just about every subject everything always circles around back to LOVE.
That is proof that the art of letter writing is not completely dead (YES – real scientific proof) AND romance is still alive and well.
Everyone writes love letters. And that means YOU. Below are some examples to inspire you and get you going.
For Modern Royalty and Princesses
Let me undress you my love and rid you of your fashionable dress. Let me unroll your stockings one by one. Let me slip off your panties and bra so carefully. And when you’re all mine naked and beautiful, let me cover you with frumpy pastel colored grandma clothing and ugly hats forever.
For Werewolves
I lay my hands on your hot bare skin, damp with the sweat of our love, and feel the fur grow under my fingers. Run in the woods with me my love and let me hear your howl in the moonlight. Be the father of my cubs and the alpha of my pack. Your large paws and dark eyes excite me. I sniff you and your scent intoxicates me. Both the man and beast in you make me love you even more.
For Zombies
Know that I love you for more than just your brains. When I first saw you staggering across the street, the wild look in your one remaining eye, the slight half jagged lipped smile, the slow groan, the matted hair and I knew you were the girl for me.
I will be with you even when we fall apart and our body parts trail behind us…and there is nothing left except our love.
For Vampires
In the shadows you bring dark light and the slow beating of your heart. I live for your cool touch, your lips on my neck, fangs lightly teasing me. You’re my heart and soul. You are my shadow. You are my love. You are the one I will spend centuries with sharing wine and blood and passion.
For Regular Humans
You’re cute. I like being with you. I love you. xoxoxoxox. I can’t get enough of you. Light my fire or even my BBQ Grill – I’m easy. Love you sweetie pie!
For Ghosts
In life love was just a dream like mist or a phantom.
Now it is real even though nothing else is.
Through the centuries we drifted,
Only to meet at night, haunting the truth and reality of life,
To find love in death and tragedy,
And hope that will never make sense,
But it is ours and ours alone.
You haunt me to my very soul,
The spirit of our love lives anew.
Everybody likes a little romance. Come back for more at Vampire Maman.
Now, don’t be shy, get out your pen, your pad, your smart phone, your crayon or pencil and write a letter to the one you love.
xoxoxoxox
