Rotten Cat Wednesday
This is Cat One. When I took this photo, he was howling at me because the laundry basket was in “his” spot at the foot of our bed. And here he is happy after I removed the offending basket. After the photo, he immediately proceeded to lick himself enthusiastically. Nobody needs to see that. Here…
TToT – Let’s Just Do This
Hello, Friends. I’ve been flying only a bit above radar lately. I think I’ll be back to posting a bit in the week ahead. In particular, you should stop by on Tuesday, April 14th because I will be hosting a little virtual interview with the lovely Tamara Woods of PenPaperPad. Come check that out. Now…
Soup of the Week – Green Soup Surprise and a Side Car
Life is full of surprises, isn’t it? Just about the time we felt sort of confident about the arrival of spring, temps dropped into the ridiculous range. Despite the warm temps today, the wind blew cold and the forecast says snow again. It may be just “a quick clipper,” but still. No matter the temperature, though,…
TToT – Grateful Grateful Truly Blessed
It’s been a rough week. My RA gave me a run for my money this week. I could have handled it better. In many areas, I have not been compassionate with myself. In all honesty, I wanted to skip this list tonight. I finally decided not to force it, to just let it go and searched for a…
FTSF – About Marriage, Husbands, And Chores That Suck
Since I started my blog, the Hub has been telling me to write posts about how awesome he is. Every now and then he gives me that look…the “this is going on the blog, isn’t it?” look. He knows. The stream of blog fodder he provides is awesome. And so today the Hub gets his…
TToT – Outside My Comfort Zone
I am standing outside of my comfort zone. It feels good. Recently, I have put myself and my writing “out there” for others to see, to critique, and to share. I am thankful that I had the courage to do it and I am thankful for the feedback I’ve received. I am thankful for inspiration to write…
FTSF – I Have No Proudest Moment
I have no proudest moment to share with you. I am terrible with superlatives. Favorite? Best? Proudest? Worst? I am always struck dumb when asked to name only one. After thinking about this for days, I find myself reaching the same conclusion once again. I can not name any one proudest moment.
#1000 Speak: Step Into Someone Else’s Skin
It was a conversation with my daughter that helped me finally decide. We were talking about a disagreement between her and a classmate. Both parties were upset; neither understood the other’s point of view. As we talked at dinner that night, my daughter began to understand not only what might have caused the other person to act as they did,…
Why Mr. Rogers And I Have No Problem With Cinderella – 1000Speak
I grew up with Mr. Rogers. And I am not ashamed to to tell you that the gray in my hair means I watched his show back when there was no gray in his. I loved Mr. Rogers. I loved everything about his show from his silly opening song to his cardigan sweater and sneakers to the…
TToT – The One With All The Excitement
This has been an exciting week. And it’s not over yet, so I’m squeezing this in to make sure I make it to the TToT party before I’m off again. This one’s moving fast, friends, so hang on… My first-ever guest post over at Pat DiCesare’s blog went so well. I am thankful for the…
