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… →

Books, Movies, Travel, and…Elmo?
Movie/music Monday It’s funny that this prompt comes up today. I just spent the weekend watching a miniseries and a movie set in England, and while the prompt is past tense, as in we have already traveled because of a movie or book, I would love to travel there in the future. Of course, I’ll… →

A Science Fiction Weekend
“Something Good” Sunday I almost forgot about posting today. Josh and I went to the movies today and we just got home. But actually, the movie we saw is an interesting topic for the “something good” today. Sort of. I’d like to share two things that were good and, I’ll repeat, “interesting” for today. And… →

From Stereos to Smart Phones
The technology of today is pretty great, excluding AI, that is pretty scary. So many modern conveniences now that didn’t exist when I was a teenager. How different would my teen years have been had there been iphones, gps, digital streaming? But back then, I didn’t miss what I didn’t know. Those things were not… →

It’s My Own
What is the best excuse you have heard lately? You know, I saw this prompt last night and honestly, I was going to skip it and write something else for today. I couldn’t think of any excuses that I’ve heard other people say. But then, something at work happened that gave me a good answer… →

I Am Who I Am
Thoughts on Mental Health Thursday This question made me squint and furrow my eyebrows. This question makes no sense when you consider the obvious, we are who we are because of our experiences. I consider that to be well, obvious. What shapes us is our experience. As kids, our initial opinions and thoughts about certain… →

Shangri-La!
Initially when I read this question, I glazed over the “for a week” part. I initially thought of what my grandpa said one time when watching my Grandma Jean pamper their rescue dog, Hammer. Hammer was a retired racing greyhound. They lived in Florida and apparently there were organizations dedicated to finding homes for the… →

A Birthday and a Free Slurpee
Talk About it Tuesday I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about my birthday. Last Saturday, I turned 44. There’s nothing special about this age. In fact, I can’t wait to turn 45. That has been my favorite number my whole life. I just like how my mouth feels when I say it. Even though… →

Learn This
Just so you know, I’m going to hijack this prompt today. This question makes me cringe. The phrase “lifelong learner” was beaten into the brain of every teacher I worked with over the years. As teachers, we were encouraged to be lifelong learners which was a nice way of saying we had to earn a… →

Writing, What Else?
What’s one habit that has improved your life the most? I almost forgot to post today which would be a bummer because I think the one habit that I have now is blogging daily. I don’t really have any other habits. I recently quit the gym because I gave up on running (it was a… →
