Normally during the course of the week, an idea or topic regarding what to blog about will pop into my pseudo creative head. Unfortunately, this week, no matter what I tried, I couldn’t come up with an idea. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch entered my sphere. So…that’s what I’m going to talk about—nothing. I suppose what… Read More I Got Nothing…
Every year I am asked about my New Year’s resolutions and I always shock people when I tell them I don’t have any. Of course, like most everyone else I have plenty of things I need to change about myself, but that isn’t why people are perplexed. The shock probably originates from the perception that others have… Read More Resolutions…Smesolutions (Yes I Know This Is Not A Word)
I moved to the Pacific Northwest thirty years ago having lived almost my whole life in the snowy, chilly, Midwest. I briefly lived in Flagstaff, Arizona which is an elevation of seven thousand so the winters there were equally snowy. My first year in Seattle, the city had a blizzard-their words not mine-with almost four… Read More Let it Snow…Let it Snow…Let it Snow
Most people know I’ve been struggling with menopause for ten years now….yes ten friggin years. Here’s what that looks like for me: 1) I rarely if ever sleep through the night; 2) Sweat pours down my body on a regular basis, with alternate complaints of “I’m freezing”; and 3) I crave and must have sweets.… Read More OCD is Alive and Well…
When I signed a contract for my debut book, I didn’t realize how much interaction was required on Facebook and other avenues. I learned how social media plays such an essential role in marketing a new author. Affinity encouraged me to write a free short story – I wrote several. Two were immediately posted on… Read More I’m Such a Tease…But It’s An Addiction
This week I am going to poke fun at myself again, because it is one of my favorite pastimes. I am a fashion don’t in every way because clothes and staying in vogue is simply unimportant to me. When our organization began to look again at our dress code policy, I wanted less than nothing… Read More The 80’s Called They Want Their Suit Back…
As I was pondering what to talk about for this week’s blog, I put the question out to my Facebook friends who provided many wonderful ideas. After a bit of internal debate, I decided to take the Tofurky suggestion since we are so close to Thanksgiving. First, I want to provide complete transparency and say… Read More Tofurky Anyone?
Last night I posted my thoughts on Facebook’s version of a hello-the infamous Poke. In my normal way of looking at things I poked (pun intended) a little fun at this contemporary form of greeting. My intent was to let people know that I’m really not a b@#%& when I don’t poke back, but instead… Read More Crossing The Generations
Too much information – that is the topic this week. I suppose I’m at that stage in my life where I can get away with saying and doing most anything because I generally don’t care what people think. I can’t wait to join the red hat society. Let me qualify that by saying, I can… Read More TMI…
I joke around a lot, especially in that nerdy, socially awkward way that introverted writers tend to gravitate to – well maybe not all introverted writers…. In this respect I resemble the main character, Mabel in my new book, Out of This World. However, when I post that I was dancing or singing in my… Read More We Are Family…..
