Mini Musings—Thank Goodness I Have My Words

As I was wasting my life away on that time suck that is facebook, I came across a meme/photo/thing that describes me pretty well: I’m pretty quick to pass on different curiosities that cross my beloved laptop screen, but this one sort of stopped me in my tracks.  Its succinctness in describing my life can only be described as miraculous.  Now don’t get me wrong, you can’t really shut me up once I get going verbally, but when I get a keyboard in front of me we’re talking about a whole new dimension. My job as a children’s librarian requires…

Mini Musings-Do I Not Have Enough to Do?

Hello my friends! I am just barely getting back on track after my holiday and I am knee deep in all kinds of writing activities!  I am currently recalling my vacation to Hawaii over Christmas and I am surprised on how detailed I seem to have remembered things.  I’m actually quite grateful to have the time to look back and reflect because I am beginning to really understand how special that time really was–priceless moments as The Magic Three. I’m not sure if I told everyone that I did get approved to teach about blogging at my library’s annual Tech…

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…

Just For Fun–Versatile Blogging Award!I

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…

Just For Fun–I Made a Blogging Award

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…

Mini Musings-Don’t Mess With a Good Thing? –aka I’m Bored and Looking for Trouble

My brain is here, there and everywhere and I need help from my fellow blogging peeps! I have my blog set up in such a way that I can write whatever I want whenever I want and, personally, I find that to be helpful when it’s time for me to actually sit down and put in the time.  However, as someone who is trying to increase followers, do you find that being more specific about a particular subject gets more readers (i.e. cooking, sewing, cars, etc.)? My all encompassing vision is a blog that has funny stories (although I have…

Just For Fun- A Smorgasbord of Yours Truly

Happy Monday everybody!  It’s a new day, a new week and a new chance to do all kinds of awesome things!  I am very tired from an extremely busy weekend, so I am sorry that my responses to these award nominations are so late.  I managed to finish the Warrior Dash on Saturday, but my arms are essentially jelly, so my answers will be short and sweet (at least for me).  I have also condensed all of the award questions into one blog so there was a lot of cutting and pasting going on.  Please forgive any mistakes.  As I have…

I Never Pass Up a Chance to Talk

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…
