I can pretty much write something about anything. Most who know me, know I've written short stories about a bit of everything. Could I write about a box of Kleenex? Yes, and I actually have a short, fictional story about one. Today's thoughts are about butterflies. I am intrigued by them and the symbolism surrounding... Continue Reading →
“…Life’s Ups and Downs…”
"...I've had my share, of life's ups and downs..." This is one of those song lyrics that touches me ALL THE TIME, and usually I'll sing the rest of that line - "...but Fate's been kind, the downs have been few..." For those not familiar with it, the song is "You're the Best Thing That... Continue Reading →
My Sketchy Green Thumb
Ah, the title of this post speaks for itself - this year's garden attempt has produced four jalapenos, six cherry tomatoes, eight garlic bulbs, some rosemary and thai basil, and today we'll find out just how many potatoes grew, but I'm certain that the yield will not support the cost. I can tell you I... Continue Reading →
My First ‘Wolf Whistle’
Daily writing promptIf you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick?View all responses Okay, so going back historically to receiving my first wolf whistle sounds pretty self-centered, even for me.

My Way…
There are some that thrive on others' organizational, dietary, workout, and cleaning routines, and I'd even go so far as to add writing styles, but me? I need to do it my way. I may gain some insight and logic into why something works or doesn't, but in the end, I'm stubborn (my mother called... Continue Reading →
If You Had Only One Day Left…
Yesterday's appointment with my heart doctor left me with only a few questions. I feel this guy is totally competent and answered every question I threw at him about my condition, but I reserved a few of them for pondering over with my coffee this morning. They are ones I don't think he'd have the... Continue Reading →
Decluttering, or ‘Finding What Was Lost’
I decided to tackle my office yesterday. My office is a combo of writing, bill paying, filing, ebaying business, storage, and did I mention "Chaos"? I've been researching ad nauseum on how to declutter, organize, or make sense of the growing paperwork that has grown so high that I cannot see the glass top of... Continue Reading →
Extra Energy, What To Do, What To Do?
I've mentioned before that I'm homebound for a bit, until we (Hubbin, me, and the various docs I'm seeing) figure out what's causing my severe vertigo and how to fix it. Having said that, I have brief moments when it's not so bad, and instead of using those moments of respite to enjoy the normalcy,... Continue Reading →
Storytelling
I've always been someone who loves to tell stories and can create 'shorts' at the drop of a hat. Want to hear one about a hat? I've got you covered! *pun intended* When my Littles stay the night and are in their beds at the end of the day, one of their favorite last things... Continue Reading →
