• Did I ever tell you…(part 4)

    Yesterday, a comment exchange on a fellow blogger’s post (Hi Tracie!) led me to think about my days in band. So, with that said, did I ever tell you that I used to play the trumpet? When I lived in Georgia, the transition to middle school had me picking out a band instrument. Nobody made…

  • Who Me?

    How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? What an interesting question today. We described ourselves in general recently. Now we have to do it without someone seeing us? Well, my description last time is pretty relevant to this given that I don’t think I used sight-based traits in my description. For…

  • Typically Routine

    Was today typical? The typicality of today depends on what day “today” is. Today is Tuesday. It’s a workday and I think it was pretty typical. I did have to go in earlier than normal, but during the summer this year, where I am supervising a program that keeps me busier than the other 10…

  • That’s Just Me

    How would you describe yourself to someone? “Just a woman in my 40s figuring out what kind of person I really am. I’m also a tattooed blue dot trauma survivor who writes and likes my music loud.” I cheated. This is what I have posted about myself at the top of my bio page on…

  • Resurrecting a “Dinosaur”

    The daily prompt today is about bringing back a dinosaur. It’s the exact same one we had last June or July—seriously, I went back and looked. My answer back then was a triceratops because my name is Sarah and the ‘cera’ in triceratops sounds like my name. However, to answer the question again, I’m pulling…

  • An Ending and a Sequel

    At some point recently I saw online that a sequel to the movie, “The Devil Wears Prada” is actually going to happen. The movie is based on a book and the book does have a sequel (two actually). This week I’ve been seeing a lot of things online related to part 2 of this movie.…

  • What a Wonderful World

    If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? I don’t travel much. My husband and I are just homebodies. For a while, I could only travel in the summer when I was on break, and now my husband’s job makes it so that it’s hard to take time off without being interrupted…

  • What’s in a nickname? Nothing really.

    What’s the story behind your nickname? I don’t really have any nicknames. I had one when I was a kid…my dad called me a weird one and still did well into my adulthood. If I was still in contact with him now, I’m sure he would still call me that. There was a teacher in…

  • Yarn Friends and Travel Plans

    What are your future travel plans? My future travel plans?! Would you also like my address and code to my alarm system?! With that said, I won’t go into specifics about any itineraries that are coming up. But just know, once this summer program that I supervise ends in the middle of August, I have…

  • Slow Down!

    What would you change about modern society? This quote from “The Shawshank Redemption” sums up my answer to this question today. (Fun fact—I toured the prison where that movie was filmed. I was in movie heaven!). Anyway, I think people are way too impatient these days. And I think that leads to a lot of…
