1. I have 2 scripts to write this weekend…and I wonder why I’m not getting that novel finished. 2. Lately I have been doing so many various volunteer tasks at Miss A’s school I feel like it’s become a part-time job. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy it (mostly) but yowsa! what a time suck.…
So, waaaaaay back in September I talked about a fun on-line photo community called I Heart Faces. Each week they run a photo challenge open to all types of photographers at all levels, stages, abilities – you get the idea. I had hoped to spend more time both on the site playing with some of…
I made it! I crossed the NaNo finish line! Wooo-hoooo! I will be back soon to bore you all to tears with my trials and tribulations during this month of writing, but for now, I have to get my butt out of the chair and go work out. I spent waaaay too much time sitting…
1 – It’s my birthday this weekend! I am not ashamed to admit that I LOVE PRESENTS!!! I adore getting gifts. To my credit I also get a kick out of giving gifts as well. One of the neat things this year is all the birthday freebies I’m getting! So far, here is what I…
It’s noon on Halloween and I’m bichok in my bathrobe. It’s one of my nicer robes actually, and I had a wonderful hot shower this morning while the husband took care of the girls and emptied the dishwasher. (How’s THAT for a Halloween treat!?!?) The bathrobe thing isn’t a costume, though I suppose frazzled mom…
I have often heard writers refer to their novels as their “babies.” It’s a metaphor that may seem to skate the line of hyperbole, yet is one I recently came to appreciate. Completing a manuscript is labor intensive, but it is a labor of love. (And yes, I intentionally used the word labor…twice…my apologies). Like…
Or at least if I had it together better. Or would that be better together? Peanut butter and chocolate. That’s better together. Anyways. I have a to-do list a gazillion miles long, but the real problem is, I have a gazillion to-do lists. One for chores around the house. One for stuff to fix around…
Sometimes I wonder why I chose to teach high school rather than the primary grades, since I love all the crafty fun stuff a primary teacher gets to d. I ended up indulging this part of myself by putting stickers on my high school students’ tests – yes, even the Seniors – and yes, they…
For the I Heart Faces submission, I need to keep my post clear of any photos save the one I entered for the weekly theme…never able to easily choose just one thing, whether it’s a pair of shoes, a flavor of ice cream, or a picture – here are some of the other pictures I…
As I mentioned in my post about great giveaways last Friday, I recently discovered a fun and fabulous site, Living Locurto, well blogger Amy Locurto also co-blogs (is that a word?) a neat photography site called I Heart Faces. Each week they post a photo theme and accept entries from all kinds of photographers at…
