Mini Musings- What Should I Save for my Book?

Categories: Mini MusingsTags: · · · · · · · · 62 Comments

Hello, and happy Tuesday to you all! As I approach my two month anniversary of blogging (thank you, thank you very much) I am learning so many awesome things from the different blogs that I read and from the great people that interact with me through commenting on my posts! I think my biggest surprise is that there are so many young bloggers on here– a lot of high school and college kids.  I find that interesting because when I was that age I could barely muster up the energy to make it to school on time.  Kudos to you…

Things to do in New York for your very first visit: Visit Central Park, ride the Staten Island Ferry and try to get face time on the Today Show.  When the hubby and I finally got the chance to visit The City that Never Sleeps we made sure that we did all three.  Getting to Central Park was very easy and quite a lovely experience and riding the ferry was a beautiful moment (the Manhattan skyline is an absolute marvel). However, getting on the Today Show was a bit of a (cold) pain in the ass.  So, yes, it kind…

Hey, What’s Up With Dancing Sign Guy?

After the sixth red light in a row that I have had to stop and cool my heels, I see Dancing Sign Guy. He’s out on his corner spinning his cardboard sign around and around until it looks like he might catch air and start flying into the sky. I’m curious about what he has to say, but I can’t read the stinking sign. Hey, Dancing Sign Guy, calm down a minute so I can see what you’re peddling! He never makes eye-contact with me or anyone else. His baseball cap is pulled low over his brow and it is…

Fair Warning-This exercise is in response to a fellow blogger @afternoonofsundries who asked me to participate in a challenge requesting I list ten things I love and ten things I hate, as a way to get to know me better.  Don’t read unless you really, really want to know more about me. First of all, thank you for asking me to participate.  I appreciate that you have read my blog and that you think I have things to say that you might find interesting. I’m actually pretty excited to do this because it makes me feel like I finally made it…

To change or not to change, that is the question.  Blogging University has, as the second assignment in the Blogging 101 class, asked us all to take a look at our titles and taglines and decide whether or not they should be edited.  Apparently I was thinking that the second day of a three week program would be a cake walk, but this one has just got me spinning in circles and questioning my whole blogging existence. I have now officially pondered this while eating dinner, walking my dog, washing dishes, and watching Tiny House Hunters.  With some good suggestions…

Those of you in the know have heard that I am going to be using this blog to become master of the blogging universe and that I will be regaling you all with wonderful and exciting stories that will be assigned to me through my Blogging 101 class.  Congratulations on making the short list!  Those of you that didn’t know, well, I apologize for the abrupt turn on subject matter, but a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do– I hope you don’t turn around and decide to stop following me. I promise I’ll make it worth…

Well, At Least My Shoes Still Fit

Picture this: You naturally wake up to the most beautiful filtered sunlight cascading through your slightly opened blinds, and before sliding out of your faintly over-heated sheets, you stretch the most beautiful stretch and think on all the possibilities you have before you.  You lazily roll over to the side of the bed, push yourself up and out, and slowly make your way to the shower, where you let the hot water soothe your aching muscles and let the smells of your soap and shampoo wake your mind.  Pictures of all that you will accomplish during the day run through…

Hey there! My name is René and this is a peek into my unusual mind.  I will be using this blog as a way to archive memories, communicate with myself and my friends and family, and generally just a way to purge my brain of its insanity. You are welcome to join me on this ride and I hope that you will be entertained, if not, inspired by the totally awesome words that are likely to be shared here. Bwwwwaaahahahahahaha… Want to comment?
