Mini Musings- Which Path Should I Take?

Hello to all of my lovely online friends! After coming off an extremely busy Halloween weekend with the boy and the hubby, I find that I have neglected my blog severely. I apologize to all of the late responses on my last post–I finally got to them today. I will try to be more quick to answer and comment next time. On to the mini musing of the day…I took some time to contemplate my next story and thought I had it all lined up, but my heart is pulling me in another direction. I feel that it is very…

October 23, 2015October 23, 2015 Categories: Just For FunTags: 777 · author · blog · bloggers · blogging · challenge · fun · love · wordpess · write · writing3 Comments

Hello my friends! I am finally getting to this challenge that was presented to me by the Mom Who Runs! Please check out her blog. I am usually writing and posting things as soon as they are finished, but in an attempt to have fresh material for my book I have withheld longer stories that will only be available there. I have one that I am particularly happy with and so I will share it with you today. I do not have 7 pages of writing to use for this challenge so I changed it to the 7th paragraph, 7th…

Thank you to Lacie @ See You Starside for nominating me for the Versatile Blogging award. I have been so busy lately that it has taken me quite a while to sit and write these things down–which is a shame, because I usually LOVE talking about myself! I am always excited to get nominated for various awards and I hope that you find a little interest in what I shall now reveal about the person that is me… First, the rules (which I have no problem with you altering in whatever way makes you comfortable): First things first, here are the Rules: If…

Mini Musings- I Sprung for Some Business Cards

October 9, 2015 Categories: Mini MusingsTags: blog · blogging · cards · hello · mini musings · question · website · wordpress · write · writing9 Comments

Hello again to all of my blogging friends! Thanks to all of the great advice I got a few weeks ago (and a suggestion from my sister-in-law) I have been able to come up with two or three ideas to write about that are very exciting. My last blog on haunted houses was fun to do and I will soon be touching on indoor skydiving and the time I accidentally had my hair turned into a fro (I might even have pictures of the debacle–stay tuned). This week I decided to bite the bullet and purchased 100 business cards with my…

Literary Lion- It’s My Time

I am re-posting this in honor of a friend that passed away 24 years ago today. I miss her much. I wasn’t supposed to be there. As I looked through glass into the cluttered, yet sterile, room it was a fact that was amplified a million-fold. It was a place for big dreamers and people that didn’t know the meaning of the word no. A place of unknown possibilities and limitless power. I was afraid of it all and yet there was no way I could stay away. What a marvelous, terrifying, unbelievable creation of imagination and it was only…

Denver to Las Vegas– My Brain on a Road Trip

Euphoria We are out of here, people! I’ve got my water and my handful of emergency snacks and we are out of here! Look at how beautiful it is at 5:30 am on a Sunday morning, with the sun still asleep and the millions of cars I would otherwise be doing battle with safely and snuggly tucked away in their happy little garages. Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever made it through all of the lights on this street without stopping at (at least) three different red lights. And there’s no pressure to go a thousand miles an hour on this highway…

Just For Fun–Help Me Plan My Totally Awesome Vegas Vacation!

September 26, 2015January 5, 2016 Categories: Just For Fun · What A TripTags: advice · blog · blogging · driving · fun · humor · Las Vegas · planning · road trip · vacation · wordpress · writing8 Comments

Vegas, baby! That is where I am heading early Sunday morning with my mom and a very good friend. We are jumping into my version of the family truckster (my twelve year old Prius) and zooming (okay, fighting for each mile) through the Rocky Mountains on a twelve hour journey to “The City of Lights”, or “The City that Never Sleeps”, or “The City that Makes You Really, Really Fat”–whatever most people call it these days. I honestly don’t even care what nickname it has–I’m just going to call it “The City that Isn’t Here” and be happy with that!…

Sometimes Learning Myself Kind of Sucked

September 24, 2015August 31, 2023 Categories: Humor, Life, ObservationsTags: adventure · blog · blogging · bravery · family · humor · job · parents · summer · vacation · wordpress · write · writing9 Comments

My parents loved to go on vacation without me. Okay, I don’t know if love is the right word, but I don’t think they particularly missed me very much. Back when there was still a gaggle of us rapscallions around, the road trip was THE thing to do during summer vacations. The time honored tradition of shoving everything we owned into a small vehicle that we would then spend hours upon hours in was important in our household (and it was a good way to shut us up about being bored and tired of playing outside all the time). I…

Mini Musings- How Do I Avoid Self Sabotage?

Hello my friends, I have been neglecting my posts (and all of your posts) more and more lately and I have no real good reason for why that is happening. I still find that I have many things that I want to write about, but I find that I would rather do something (anything) else than sit down and type them out! (Let’s just say that I am going to have the most awesome Halloween costume this year.) I can’t imagine that I am the only person that feels this way once in a while and so I am asking…

Just For Fun–I Made a Blogging Award

September 14, 2015May 2, 2016 Categories: Just For FunTags: award · blog · bloggers · blogging · blogging101 · fun · questions · re-post · silly · wordpress · write · writing21 Comments

Greetings and Salutations to you all! I have been having too much fun with this blogging business with all the different ways my brain is functioning trying to figure out how to be “successful” and getting to know some of my fellow bloggers. Every once in a while I see someone write about being nominated for this award or that award and I find those posts to be very fun and informative. I find myself hoping to get nominated because I love talking about myself so much. It feels strange to say that, but would I even be blogging if…
