End of Camp
Here we are, at the end of Camp NaNo, and I almost failed to blog today. Yikes! I just realized that I hadn’t done it yet and laughed that I might have not met my personal goal due to what’s going on in my life. Isn’t that kinda what life is like? We have to …
Multi-Talented
Yesterday, I watched this online and I absolutely adored it: If, for some reason, you can’t see it – it’s Pink (the musician) dancing in the air – graceful, powerful, talented. I’ve loved Pink for years. No, I’m not her biggest fan, but I love the message some of her songs send to our youth and …
Yay, Wells Fargo!
I saw this online yesterday and I wanted to share it with you: When I was young, I took a sign language course with my mother at the local library. I fell in love with it, and have retained that knowledge all these years. Okay – maybe not all of it, but I still remember …
Bear
I’m 39 years old, I have a teddy bear, and I’m okay with it. I kept trying to name my bear, but nothing ever stuck. Over the past few months, my bear was named. I always just called him “my bear.” Obvious, right? Lately, my guy has just shortened it to “Bear.” Oddly, it fits. …
Earth Day
So, I’m a big, fat liar head. In my blog yesterday, I told you I would not be gardening. However, when my guy got up, it was obvious that we were both quite anxious to get our hands in the dirt and start our garden. Neither of us even wanted to eat breakfast; we both …
Our Garden
I try to eat a clean diet, as much as possible. What does that mean? It means I try to eat things as close to the farm as I can manage. If I can imagine a farmer feeding or harvesting it, I’m probably good. I can imagine my oatmeal growing in a field. I cannot …
Itching
I realized the other day just how much my series is screaming at me. Well, one of the books, in particular. This particular book is a very loud one for me. A few years ago, the protagonist awoke me from a dead sleep, telling me her story (yes, I even heard her voice in my …
Far Too Furious
Haven’t seen Furious Seven? No worries – no spoilers here. I do, however, want to talk about the movie. I love all things Fast AND Furious. Honestly. Okay – that might not be true. Tokyo Drift wasn’t my favorite. Until Furious 6 tied it all in. No, then it still wasn’t my favorite. I digress. …
Different Voice
I read something from NaNoWriMo the other day, questioning whether you write differently than you speak. My response? Duh! I mean, I’m not the most verbose woman around. I actually admire women who are able to speak their minds without fear. I, on the other hand, am… reserved to say the least. In a group …
Baking Fiasco
I tried out a new recipe today. Since I love trying new recipes, this wasn’t in any way out of the ordinary. It was a yeast bread – challah. I’ve made lots of yeast breads in my life, and a whole lot lately, so I know how to make them fairly well – it’s relatively …
