Writing Spaces—New and Old
Since finishing the personal essay class that I had been in since June, I have had a reinvigorated desire to write. I have submitted two of the personal essays I wrote in the class. One was submitted to a publication called “Blood & Pudding”. They had a call out for submissions related to mental health.… →

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… →

Obsessions and Nostalgia
There are so many memories that I have of things that I was madly in love with when I was a kid. And by “things”, I mean movies, music, and as my husband quickly pointed out…people. I’ll start with actual things. I had a couple of authentic Cabbage Patch Kids and I was certainly a… →

Music. Always.
What makes you feel nostalgic? I’m limited on time today. I’m meeting up with an online knitting friend who is visiting family near where I live. We’re going to visit a yarn store and have lunch. I’m very excited about that. So, with my small amount of time, I’ll simply say that music makes me… →

Music/Movie Monday—A Christmas Story
With this being the last Monday before Christmas, I feel compelled to share my favorite part of the movie “A Christmas Story”. It is my absolute favorite Christmas movie and I truly think it’s one of those “you just had to be there” kind of movies. I’m pretty sure my supervisor at work hasn’t seen… →

Oh…Fudge!
I will always be happy to answer this question! When I answered this question last year, I linked back to this post: Meeting Ralphie: My Crochet Tribute to “A Christmas Story” Basically, two years ago, when it was the 40th anniversary of “A Christmas Story”, the original cast had a convention in Cleveland, where most… →

Writing Proof
As a follow up to my earlier post about procrastinating on working on my book, I would just like to share this “proof of life/writing” post. I have spent the past 2 to 3 hours working on it. I listened to my “high school nostalgia” playlist while I worked: And I noticed myself making this… →

90s TV Nostalgia
What TV shows did you watch as a kid? TV shows when I was a kid is a great topic! I like this one today. For the most part, the movies I watched as a kid were definitely not something kids should have been watching. I was just barely over the GenX age limit and… →

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… →
