Proximidade Blogging Award

August 9, 2009

Don’t y’all just hate it when your body won’t cooperate? If you haven’t had that experience, you haven’t gotten as old as I am … yet. It’ll happen, if you are lucky. I despise getting old, until I consider the alternative.
My back went all wonky on me last week. I’m pretty [...]

The Play’s The Thing. Enter The Dentyne “Realationships” Playwrights Contest.

March 5, 2009

I know some of you out there sit at your desk slaving away writing stories and plays and such. Maybe you have a dusty manuscript stashed in a file drawer? Here is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss. I’d have told you about it much sooner, but I just got [...]

Blushing From Head To Toe–And Passing It On.

January 25, 2009

I’m as embarrassed as a possum up a plum tree! I always get that way when people say nice things about me. Momma didn’t teach me how to accept compliments, and I’ve never done it well.
Last week, in one single day, I was bestowed two different awards (by two of my favorite [...]

A New Addiction For My Muse: Facebook

January 19, 2009

I told y’all that my Muse has been recalcitrant lately. All she wants to do is play mahjong. At least, that’s all she wanted until Jessica The Rock Chick corrupted her.
Jessica had back surgery, and stopped blogging for awhile. Every time I e-mailed her, she answered me on Facebook. She couldn’t sit [...]

If You Have A Y Chromosome, This Is Probably Not A Post For You

January 10, 2009

Have y’all ever been out to eat with a group of people, and find that suddenly all the women get up and go to the bathroom together? A man would never turn to his buddy and say, “Hey, Bob, I’m going to the Men’s Room, you want to join me?” But, women do [...]

In Harmony

January 6, 2009

I visited the blog of my friend Robin, who lives just outside of Tel Aviv in Israel. I’ve been worrying about her since this latest war began, though she assures us she is “safe.”. She begs the question “what is the etiquette for blogging during wartime?” Robin lives in the center of [...]

Some Thank You’s And An Invitation

October 30, 2008

Isn’t it a huge relief to get home from a trip?
I just got home from a pretty grueling road trip to Houston. Mind you, I’m not complaining, because it meant work and a paycheck (Hallelujah!). However that trip has left me with a “full plate” of things to do today, and I’m going [...]

Link Love Again

October 9, 2008

When I first began this blog, I often sent you to view posts by some of my favorite bloggers. Lately, I’ve been remiss.
For my 49th Thursday Thirteen, I decided to tell you about some posts I’ve seen that I liked AND about some happenings around my place. I know you are [...]

But, You Can’t Spell “Mediocre” Without “Me!”

August 17, 2008

When I was in high school (which was too many years ago to count), there were basically four different “crowds” to which a kid could belong. You had your “Popular, Cool Kids,” the “Hippie Freaks,” the “Geeks,” and the “Band Qu**rs” (that’s what we called them in the days before “political correctness,” “The Band [...]

Is She Really Bleeding Espresso?

August 11, 2008

I have a delightful friend that I want you to meet. I think you’d really like her.
When I first started reading Bleeding Espresso, Michelle Fabio called herself “Sognatrice.” She has since decided to ‘fess up and tell folks her real name (you really can’t hide on the WWW, can you?). Michelle is [...]

Blogging Award Time

July 7, 2008

I’m headed out to deliver those afghans to Camp Sanguinity today. I thought I’d give you something to do while I’m gone.
I’m passing along a blogging award, and I’ll tell you about it (but bragging about me is a yawn). Let me first show you the folks upon whom I bestow the “Arte [...]

Interview With Damien Riley of Postcards From The Funny Farm

April 3, 2008

Some of y’all may remember that I recently had a writing contest on my blog. It was called the This Post Blows My Dress Up Contest. You can click that link to see all the entries. The theme was “Scared Silly,” and Robin at Around the Island was the winner with her [...]

These Posts Scare Me Silly!

March 28, 2008

Whew! Third post of the day…how do people do this? On top of posting, I’ve been writing contracts all day so I get to eat this summer! Gotta bring home the bacon.
Thanks to all of you who participated (or promoted) the This Post Blows My Dress Up Contest! It’s now officially [...]

Hodge Podge Again

March 14, 2008

This is another one of those posts that I do where anything that pops into my head goes through my fingers to the post. My mind is unable to focus very well right now, because so much is happening in my mundane little world.

Life is just steamrolling right over me these days. I’ve [...]

Thursday Thirteen Number Thirty-Seven. My Distractions.

February 27, 2008

“If you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now, quiet, they’re about to announce the lottery numbers! “~Homer Simpson
Y’all, I have a “to do list” that is as long as my arm. Actually, I have more than one. I try hard to get things done. I [...]

My Cats Are Not This Entertaining

January 18, 2008

The only tricks my cats can do is barf on a shoe. They certainly wouldn’t climb into a goldfish bow on command.
You’ve probably already received this in a viral e-mail, because it’s going around. But, I needed the chance to giggle today. This is one of those days when I think [...]

Scheherazade Complex

January 14, 2008

Some of you may be familiar with The Tales of The Arabian Nights and the storyteller, Scheherezade. If not, let me give you the Reader’s Digest Condensed version of who she was.
You see, there was a Sultan who didn’t like women much, because his first wife had done him wrong and had [...]

All Over The Map

October 16, 2007

Do y’all remember the cartoons with Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner? I’ve been thinking about how that coyote pursued the roadrunner with such a passion. The image in my mind is of the times he ran blindly toward that bird and ran smack dab into a wall (or other obstacle), [...]

I’ll Show You Mine, You Show Me Yours

October 3, 2007

I talked about secrets in the blog world the other day. I think that there are some things that should be kept quiet. But, then there are other things that I will blab about all day. I showed you how I fool my husband into thinking I cook. I tell [...]

Another Hodge Podge Post

August 24, 2007

Have y’all ever been sitting on the porch chatting with friends and found the conversation changing from one topic to the next with lightning speed? This is one of those kinds of entries. I’ve got a lot I’m thinking about this morning, and so I’m putting it all together piecemeal. I’m switching [...]
