Another Friday has rolled in on waves of heat and dooms-day looking clouds. Like many, I’m hoping those clouds stop teasing and make good with a storm! 1. We could use a good storm – it’s been a dry summer, and while I’m happy the near-drought conditions will help keep the mosquito population low, it…
Yes, it’s Saturday. I understand. If I keep this up eventually I will need to do one of 2 things: change “Friday Five” to “Saturday Six,” or just get my sh*t together and post on Friday. 1. Vacations: After Lil’ G (our 2nd and last offspring) was born, the husband and I decided we wanted…
Let’s pretend not to notice how long it’s been since I wrote a FFF post, shall we? I’d like to say this is the start of a more regular blogging schedule, but the self-recrimination I’ll indulge in when I don’t manage to follow through may be too overwhelming. So I hope you enjoy today’s Friday…
Many of you, like me, probably had your first introduction to Mr. Bradbury in a high school English class, reading Fahrenheit 451. By the way, I’d also like to take a moment to say thank you to Mr. Hansen, my Soph Honors Eng teacher, for including this book among the many others our class read,…
The last weekend of January 2012 is rolling in…and while I cannot believe it’s almost time to say goodbye to a WHOLE dang month of 2012 already, I am looking forward to what is coming next (and hopefully it’s not a blizzard of epic proportions like we had LAST Feb 1st). No, I’m talking about…
1. Hello Fall! I don’t care what the calendar says, or that technically, fall doesn’t start for more than a week…Miss A has been in school for almost a month, we lit our first bonfire since late spring over the weekend, it was cold enough to make me want to wear socks around the house,…
So, May flew by in a crazy whirl wind in which I didn’t post on this here blog once. I apologize if you stopped by for a visit only to see the same April header perched at the top of my site all May long. (Note to self: perhaps it’s best not to indicate a…
Before I continue, let me just say that I am completely aware that I have putteth my cart before the horse. I have two novels in progress…both about 2/3 complete. (Yes, I’ve made an executive decision on which I will finish first: goal – done by first day of summer – but as of yet,…
My “meeting” of tomorrow’s Monday Muse – the first and I certainly hope not last – of 2011, occurred on FaceBook. It all came about in a rather crazy way, and it just goes to show you how things can kind of just happen. Flipping through my local newspaper one day last spring, I caught…
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.…
