0/10 Would Not Recommend
5Ws Wednesday I could easily write a very lengthy response to this question. My answer would be something about when I quit my long-time career two years ago without having a backup plan. In fact, I’ve spent the past two years writing about that moment. So wihout rehashing that moment of emotional strength, let me… →

Zombieland Rule Applies
I feel like a question regarding simple joys has been asked before and I’m pretty sure I may have answered it. Regardless, my thoughts on the question are all focused on the fact that I am definitely a simple joys kind of person. I don’t need anything complicated to make me happy. The first few… →

For the First Time
Movie/music Monday What an interesting question today! And given that it’s Movie/music Monday in my little slice of the blogging world, I’m happy to ruminate on this.

I Will Remember

Flashback Friday Given that a deadly virus is in the news again, I thought I’d use today to flashback to the virus that created the most recent global pandemic. People are worried, and rightly so, that the hantavirus will affect us like Covid did. The experts are almost certain that it won’t, which is good.… →

Underrated, But Oh So “Cool”
Y’all are lucky. I was about to make this post about Hamilton, yet again. But I wasn’t going to write about Alexander Hamilton himself, I was going to write about Marquis de Lafayette because the city where I live is named after him. But I’ll spare you since I’ve probably got at least 4 or… →

I Like Stuff
I’m not a fan of minimalist living so I’m not sure that there are benefits, let alone big ones. To be fair, I do see minimalism as a good thing for some people. It’s probably nice to not have a home cluttered with stuff. I appreciate the time after I clean and straighten rooms in… →

Pure Nostalgia
Movie/music Monday I can’t pass up my usual movie/music Monday theme today, despite having another post published already. My other post today talked about nostalgia and things I was obsessed with as a kid. The music today is not from the time when I would say I was a kid. I was more middle to… →
