I Just Don’t Care
Lately I’ve been fond of starting responses with, “Oh honey…” That phrase infers a sympathetic tone and something obvious and sarcastic to come afterwards. Its equivalent is, “Bless your heart.” When we say that in the south, we don’t really mean we want your heart to be blessed. We’re not being nice at all when… →

Fun & Whimsy
Talk About it Tuesday I don’t have much to talk about today. However, I was at work and I thought I’d share the fun and whimsy that I have on my desk. Much of my job right now is reviewing potential student applications. Each application involves quite a bit of reading and analyzing. It takes… →

Quotes All Day
Asking me what my favorite quote is, is like the time my students asked me what my favorite song was. I replied, “What? Like my favorite pop song? Or my favorite country song? I need you to narrow this down.” They hated that answer and always insisted, “Just a song! What is your favorite song?!”… →

What YOU Want
“Something Good” Sunday Life-changing, huh? I don’t know that this would change your life, but I think for me, it’s a non-negotiable. And that is, make sure you take time to do things that you want to do. It’s so easy to get bogged down with the things you have to do or things that… →

Not So Basic

An Apartment a Lifetime Away
Flashback Friday Today’s prompt is yet another one about books–fictional characters or something. I’m exhausted with the book prompts. So, let me revert to a Flashback Friday kind of post. This one is based on the prompt earlier this week that asked about our home decoration style. I mentioned in my post that our old… →

And a Beaded Curtain
What’s your home decoration style? I don’t have a particular style to my home. Nothing that has an official name. I simply like a lot of color, which is difficult because Josh thinks everything should be a neutral color. Blegh! Our bedroom, for example, has beige walls. And beige curtains. I would have liked a… →

Not Enough Love
Movie/music Monday The prompt today is giving rerun vibes. Didn’t I just write a whole post about how bad the endings of Tom Perrotta’s books are? I’m not going there again today. Since I had previously declared Mondays are for movies and music, let me use my platform here to sing the praises of Guy… →

Who needs a big dream?
What’s your biggest dream? I can’t answer this question. Maybe by the end of this post after I do some rambling, I’ll figure something out. But honestly, I don’t know what my biggest dream is. Several months ago I would have said my dream was to be a published writer who gets paid. That’s not… →

A Comforting Meal with the Cast of a Comfortable Show
I’m tired today. Yesterday I got to work at 8:00 a.m. I got home from work sometime after 8:00 p.m. It wasn’t a busy day, it wasn’t stressful, but I had volunteered to go downtown with our new students for a plate crawl. Local restaurants created sample food from their place to share with our… →
