Call it whining. Call it ranting. Call it first world problems. I have perspective but sometimes there are things you just don’t want to do. Maybe you’re tired or you need a break or you’d rather spend your hard-earned money elsewhere. But there’s got to be something you don’t want to do. I’m full of … Read more
I’ve got to admit that I had no less than 3 topics go through my head today for the writing prompt. What I ended up with is none of the three. I suppose that’s what happens when you finally clean yourself up and shove off to a party for a few hours. I come home … Read more
I had a birthday party today. Well, I didn’t have a birthday party. My 5 year old little boy had a birthday party and I played hostess. I thought to myself, no problem. He wanted a bowling party and I was more than happy to oblige. A little bit of cash would save me a … Read more
I often don’t think about the writing prompt I want to offer up until I sit down to write. But today’s prompt came to me while I was taking a bath. While I was soaking in our garden tub, my husband and son laid on the bed watching an old black and white movie with … Read more
I’m sure that Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing. But in a way, I think we’re all affected by the change in seasons. Some people are summer people (which I can’t quite comprehend). I personally love fall and spring. Part of it is the mild temperatures but mostly it’s the promise of change. In … Read more
So many things to write about before I kick off the next week. It was hard to decide but ultimately, I knew what I would have to write about. As I sorted through a few thoughts in my head, I kept thinking about the rant I was going to go on. Luckily, I waited and … Read more
My house is in total chaos these days. When we took it off the market, I breathed a huge sigh of relief in the form of complete and utter lack of housekeeping. Now that I have so much time what with the holidays and all, it’s time to get it back in order and back … Read more
I’ll be playing catch up this weel with quite a few posts. I’m working on some really cool projects that are sponsored by some major brands. It’s good for me and hopefully good for you. But I always wonder and worry if “my readers” (I say that like I own you), will get bored or … Read more
It’s a holiday weekend for those of us stateside (like how I assume I have a ton of international readers?) Yes, we are celebrating the birth of our nation. Meanwhile, I’m counting down until our foodfest begins and just waiting to hear how many idiots will start fires with their fireworks (we’re living in extremely … Read more
Another Sunday, another post. I go into more detail in my brain dump below but I was going to wait and write this Sunday morning. Sunday is my husband’s birthday. I wanted to wake up on a Sunday morning and gush about him. I think I’ll do that another day when I can put more … Read more
Technically, I’m on vacation this week. So I won’t be as responsive to all of your fabulous writing. But I still want you to write. And I’ll be checking! However, Disney World doesn’t have free wifi. I guess they think we should be out of the hotel room and off doing something. Maybe I’ll try … Read more
I think free writing is becoming a bit of a routine for me. I think I’m starting to get used to 5 minutes. I’m usually pretty good at making a statement in 5 minutes or less. I realize others often stop almost mid-sentence. What do you think? I’d love to hear if this is helping … Read more
Sunday morning is so easy for me sometimes that I almost forgot to run the show today. This was fun for me, though. I’ve never jumped out of bed and just written. I definitely noticed a different style and a lot less attention to grammar. And I didn’t even mind. Much. *** Oh, Sunday. How … Read more
Thanksgiving is behind us. But if you are like me, your cup runneth over with family. My belly is full, my eyes are tired, and my head might be hurting just a bit (nothing to do with wine, I swear). So whether you are quietly at home recovering from the holiday or soaking up the … Read more
In case you haven’t heard, Stream of Consciousness Sunday is my new weekly meme. Most of us are here because we love to blog. But blogging is sometimes clouded by contests and giveaways and reviews and responses. No matter what kind of blog you have, your writing is and should be a reflection of you. … Read more
