TToT – Best Day Ever and Bedtime

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a TToT quite this late in the weekend. I’ve been doing all the things this week and through the weekend and like this awesome camouflaged Rotten Cat, I’m pretty tired. I need to wrap it up and get some sleep. But I’m here and I’m doing it but it…

Six Sentence Stories – Journey

She experienced so much on this trip, and wanted to share every beautiful detail with her family. She relived it all in stunning detail, allowing those in the room to share her unbelievable journey. She brought the pictures to life, adding precious bits of information photos can never truly capture.

Six Sentence Stories – Standard Drill

“Standard drill, Maggie. Please.” She took her usual seat at the diner counter as she ordered and sat staring, unseeing, at yesterday’s newspaper; the regulars knew better than to try and engage her in conversation and anyone unfamiliar with this routine would be quickly convinced to move along by her distinct antisocial air. The old man…

Why I Seriously Need Advent This Year

I hate people. No, seriously. I do. OK, maybe I don’t hate people so much as I really hate how much negative crap people manage to spew into the world. Maybe I’m just over reading about all the bad shit people do to one another. It is really hard to have Christmas spirit and feel peace and…

TToT – We’re Here Already?

I can’t believe it’s the weekend again already. I also can’t believe that Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone, that autumn is now two-thirds past, and we’re heading rapidly toward Hanukkah next weekend and Christmas not far behind. Time moves so fast… What is it that Ferris Bueller said? “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t…

Six Sentence Stories – Aged

It was never supposed to be permanent; the separation loomed large but would only be temporary. “I’ll be back,” he assured her, the tears welling in his eyes threatening to mirror the flow of the ones already streaming down her own face. “The waiting might feel forever, but we’ll be together again and then it will…

TToT – A Bit of Progress

I skipped the TToT link-up last weekend. I never do that. It wasn’t for lack of intent or even lack of things for which to be thankful. It was simply the result of circumstance. So this week I have plenty to add. Mostly I think I’ve found many ways to acknowledge small bits of progress (remember…

OctPoWriMo Day 22 – Sacred Store

So OctPoWriMo completely got away from me… First, a blog malfunction set me back a couple of days. Then I spent a few days trying to recover from the blog malfunction. Then I got a cold. Then we went away for a couple of days. Then… You know…the stuff of life. I’ve given up on the…

TToT – Fall is Here, Baby!

And that could be my entire post…truly. I am beyond happy that the weather is starting to cool and the fall season is officially – and visibly – upon us. I think my soul’s natural season is autumn or something…I am never more at peace than during autumn.

TToT – Five Day Week

Oh, hey…it’s Sunday afternoon already and I still haven’t managed to get my TToT post done. This was our first five day week since school started and yes that extra day does make a difference. We’re definitely settling into the school year routine, though, and that’s a pretty good thing. But let’s get this list…
