  • I’m doing it!

    “Something Good” Sunday Josh and I got married in 2013. June 22 to be exact. Two weeks before our wedding date, we had no real plans. We had the church reserved and that was about it. I think we may have already worked it out with his sister to have the reception at her house.… →

  • A New Idea

    “Something Good” Sunday This week there have been quite a few “something good”s. Work was still super slow which means that I got a lot done around the house. I have been sticking to my running routine of getting up early and running the 2-mile path around my neighborhood. I opted to make yesterday my… →

  • Finding My Groove

    “Something Good” Sunday I found my creative groove. After spending some time being resentful of the idea that I need to have a large social media presence in order to get my book published, I have gotten fully on board with it. I’ve been working on posting things on all of my accounts each day,… →

  • She Knew

    Movie/music Monday I posted recently about volume 7 of my journals. At least I think I did. That volume took place over only two months of my sophomore year of high school. April and May of 1998 to be exact. I was 15 years old and for those two months, my obsession with three boys… →

  • Uninspired

    I have felt particularly uninspired lately. I haven’t posted to my social media since before Easter. I have gobs of ideas and things I want to share, but I have no energy to do it. I haven’t even felt like writing lately. I badly need to finish transcribing volume 7 of my journals. Volume 7… →

  • Movies That Motivate

    Movie/music Monday There are a few movies that I’ll watch over and over because they make me feel a certain way. For example, initially, I watched “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Working Girl”, not just because they’re good movies but because they motivated me to do school work. I usually watched them while I was… →

  • Writing Inspiration and a Moment of Zen

    “Something Good” Sunday There have been quite a few good things this week. It’s definitely been interesting. From going to the mall for the first time in a long time and bringing home an artifact from my teenage years–a blue lava lamp to trying a new restaurant last night with Josh. Not just any restaurant,… →

  • Once Again…Hamilton

    Movie/music Monday I’m writing this post on Sunday night, just before 10:00. I plan to start the 9-10 hour drive back home around 6 or 7 in the morning. No time for a post before I go and I’m sure I won’t feel like writing anything once I get home. Since tomorrow/today is Monday, I… →

  • Pine Island Eagle

    Talk About it Tuesday I talk quite a bit about wanting to be a published author. I complain when my essays get rejected from publications. I’ve gotten quite a few lately, by the way. But all of that is not quite accurate because I’ve actually been published before. Several times actually. I can’t believe I… →

  • Telling a Good Story

    Music/Movie Monday I’ve posted before about how the movie “Signs” is the go-to Sunday night movie for Josh and me. I can’t explain why that’s our comfort movie, it just is. But we actually have a handful of movies that we’ll rotate among when needing a background noise comfort movie. One of those is “Super… →
