Thank You Chicago!
Why do you blog? I’m hijacking the daily prompt today and steering it away from the overall general reason I blog. Which, since it asked, the reason is because I like writing and I hope that by sharing my thoughts about things I have experienced, I can give a little hope, inspiration, entertainment, etc. to… →

“Did You Wash Your Hands?” And Other Hard Hitting Questions
Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Me: Is it an animal? Lily: No. Me: Is it food? Lily: No. Me: Is it an object? Lily: Yes. Me: Can you ride it? Lily: giggles No! And on and on this line of… →

Cold and Tired, But Ready for Adventure
How are you feeling right now? This is a very appropriate question for my current situation. And by situation, I mean sitting up cross legged in a very fluffy bed with furry pink pillows and velvet blankets. My littlest niece has camped out with her big sister so I could have her room while I’m… →

My Search History—by Middle-Aged Maverick
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? Did the FBI sponsor this question? Probably not. They already know our search history, I’m sure. They would want to know why we were looking up those things though. That is, of course, after the fact. They would want to… →

Recipe for Life (part 2): Optional Ingredients
Inspired by my previous post today, Recipe for Life, I’ve decided to add on to the original “recipe” I shared. I thought of some optional “ingredients” that have helped me have a good life lately. I’m sharing them now as inspiration for your own “recipe”. What I shared was only the basics–pets, a home, good… →

I didn’t know her, but…
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. Did you ever see the movie “Gladiator”? Remember the scene when Maximus laughs at Proximo about “knowing” Marcus Aurelius? Let me refresh your memory because this scene is what popped into my head when I saw this prompt today. Now, pretend I’m Proximo and you… →

Movies on Repeat
What are your top ten favorite movies? I have been asked this question before! Not by WordPress, but by some nosy 8th graders I was teaching one year. I made an honest-to-goodness handwritten top 10 list. It was on an index card that for some strange reason, I kept, but now I can’t find it.… →
