This month, I have challenged myself to write a blog post everyday until my birthday. I thought two days ago that it would be difficult; especially since I was so tired I could barely keep myself awake. Today, however, my mind was flooded with ideas. The deluge didn't stop even when I was in the …

The Bird is the Word
I stand with Big Bird.. Don't use my name in your political game. Seriously, don't. As funny as the memes are that poke funny at Romney's debate graft in which he said that he was going to cut funding to PBS, I think it is wrong for either campaign to use Sesame Street characters in …
Manic Monday Moody Monday
Every Monday brings its challenges. It is engrained in our culture this belief that Mondays are going to be tough days. Mondays are the days that we must bear with in order to survive the work week, but what if we don't want to just survive... what if we want to thrive.. I love …
Accidential Sunday
The curse of a super productive Saturday is a involuntarily lazy Sunday. I slept til noon today and then went back to bed an hour later til four. Sinuses are evil, but I don't think they are responsible for the excess sleepiness. It was the curse. The Saturday curse. It never fails when I have …
Big Dog … Little Dog..
Are you a big dog or a little dog person? Or are you a cat person? Can't I just be a homo sapien sapien? Why do I have to choose a label for you or anyone else? I am a pet owner, really an animal companion. I love my fuzzy and not so fuzzy kids; …
Nap time is happy time…
I am headed to bed. Not for the night, but for a little while. Naptime is scared, happy time. A time to let my body and mind rest. A time to recharge my batteries. There are some who have been concerned about my "excessive" napping, but I am a healthy productive person. So what is …
Project Birthday Blog
Many moons ago, a young rosebud was born. And she grew and she blossomed. One day someone read her a book and then another and another. Eventually, she learned to read on her own and write. When she was in elementary school, she wrote her first poem. In high school, she started writing short stories. …
Never Too Old For A Storybook or Three..
Last week's unstated theme was obsession and addiction. My worst addiction is a life long one. My addiction to the written word began when I was an infant. My family read to me, my teachers encouraged me and in books I found the friends I was unable to make in real life. And it all …
My Zombie Hunting Addiction…
This blog helps keep my focus on my writing goals. Zombie hunting keeps me from loosing my mind amid life's conflicting duties. I hunt daily. Everyday, I kill zombies. My preferred method of dispatching them is with a katina, but a shovel or shotgun will do in a pinch. Sometimes, well, most days, I sneak …
Beauty Does Not Equal Happiness.
My neighbors are generous souls. They are just plain good folks. Their home is always filled with friends and on occasion someone who needs a home. One of their latest borders is a young man named David, twenty-two, uneducated and trying to put his life together. He also has a crush on me. A bad …
