  • Florence, Where Have You Been?!

    Music/Movie Monday I didn’t drive to Ikea today. Josh had a good point. I could go and pick up all the new shelves we’re getting for our creative space, but where would we put those big, honkin’ boxes while we fix up the room? We are going all out with this, to include painting the… →

  • Good Post-Christmas Music

    It’s Sunday. As such, I usually have something posted a lot earlier in the day than almost 6:00 pm. But despite a series of days where my mood was cheerful and playful and chatty, I have run into a day where I’m just not. It happens. I woke up with an intense headache that I… →

  • 2025 Books “Wrapped”

    In the spirit of the end of the year and how Spotify does that “wrapped” thing that shows you your most listened to music this year, I thought I’d do a “wrapped” kind of post about the books I read in 2025. Side note–I don’t use Spotify, I’m an Apple Music gal. They do something… →

  • Music/Movie Monday—Fancy

    My husband and I were watching the lighting of the Rockefeller Tree the other night. Reba McEntire was hosting and my husband said something that kind of made fun of her music. I don’t remember what he said but it prompted me to explain to him that her songs are not sweet, innocent country songs.… →

  • Music/Movie Monday–Sara’s Broken Wings

    I’m going to be very self-centered and honest with my answer. Who are my current most favorite people? Me. And my husband. Honorable mention goes to my supervisor who is incredibly understanding about the fact that I am actively applying for other jobs because working conditions are becoming stupid at work. Not because of her.… →

  • 5Ws Wednesday-What’s going on?

    For Wednesday’s, non-WP-daily-prompt post, I think I’m going to throw a W question out there. Who, what, when, where, why…and maybe if I’m feeling spicy, I’ll ask a ‘how’ question. The question on this first Wednesday is: What’s going on? And by going on, I am referring to the social media trend of standing with… →

  • Movie/Music Monday—Was it really failure though?

    As I continue my quest to deviate from the daily prompt which seems to have begun a cycle of just repeating old prompts, here is my thought for Monday. Quotes from music and movies that stand out in my mind. This week’s entry is from the last song I added to my “inspirational playlist”, Taylor… →

  • The Journey is Complete

    It was nearly two months ago when I posted this on Threads: The final stats on that post is 49.4K views, 1.6K hearts, and 657 comments. To be fair, many of those comments are mine. I’m one of those people who responds to every comment that is shared on my posts. It’s not always easy… →

  • The Tortured Poets Department—part 2

    I’m done! I made it through to the end of The Tortured Poets Department and y’all, these songs are fire! Seriously. I am so in love with a LOT of these songs! Most of the additions to my “inspirational” playlist are from this album. Here are my final thoughts and lyrics that stood out: 16:… →

  • The Tortured Poet’s Department—part 1

    I just finished song #20…I swear these songs are so addicting! I keep saying, just one more song and then I’ll stop for the night. I started saying that around song #14. However, I am going to stop for at least right now so I can post my thoughts on the first 15 songs. If… →
