Today I happened upon an old email in my Lotus Archives and remembered this funny kid story and thought I'd share. About five years ago, my then-five-year-old, JC, loved to watch a television show called "How It's Made." I think it was on the Discovery Channel (it may still be). He loved the episodes showing…
Daily Prompt- Trick or Treat, and Halloween “Hi”
Today's Daily Prompt from The Daily Post reads: If bloggers had their own Halloween and could go from blog to blog collecting “treats,” what would your blog hand out? You can see the prompt and other answers here. After some careful thought, I decided that I would hand out coffee. You'd totally come visit if…
Breaking Bad Withdrawal- “Jesse Pinkman Lives” Fan Fiction
I'm not sure about all of you out there in Blogtropolis, but I'm missing Breaking Bad. Yeah, The Walking Dead premiered Sunday night and it was good (not great, in my opinion), but despite TWD, Scandal and my other favorite shows premiering, as well as Knicks preseason, the NFL (including the Jets being better than the Giants so…
Chuck Wendig’s Flash Fiction Challenge Fail
Tonight I thought I'd try a new writing challenge. Chuck Wendig, author, screenwriter, game designer, and blogger extraordinaire, hosts a weekly writing challenge. You can find his post and his blog, "terribleminds: chuck wendig" here. This week, he provides two columns of words. The challenge is to pick a word from column one, then pick…

Weekend Chatter
Happy Sunday Everyone! I type this post while watching the second quarter of the Cowboys-Giants game (DVR'ing Breaking Bad-- decisions, decisions). I love watching a good football game, especially when it's not a Jets game. My poor husband, a lifelong Jets fan, suffers season after season watching the Jets. Sometimes there's cursing and yelling involved.…
Dear Writers of Breaking Bad and Big Wigs at AMC:
If anything bad happens to Jesse Pinkman at the end of the series I am BANNING your future writing projects and AMC for LIFE. I MEAN IT! Do what you want with the others, but JESSE LIVES. I want to see his hoodie-wearing body riding off into the New Mexican sunset, dammit, or I am…
Seinfeld Trivia Answers
Hi everyone! I received mixed reviews on my Seinfeld trivia-- some thought it was too hard and others thought it was just right. Zombie expert and author Jack Flacco made a great effort-- obviously he's a "Seinfeldic Scholar" (a term coined by David). For the rest of you, Seinfeldic Scholars or not, here are the questions and…
Escaping Rutsville (With a Little Help from George Costanza)
Recently I wrote that I was stuck in a rut. Blogger Buddy Rachel commented that I was in "Rutsville" and that it was okay to hang out there for awhile until I could manage to get out onto the Road to Awesome again. This week I've made an effort to do the things that I…
What’s Up, Blogtropolis??!!!
HI EVERYONE! I've missed being here on WordPress! In fact, I feel like everything has changed here-- there must have been some sort of update because my "Add New Post" screen that I'm looking at as I type this looks so faaannnncy schmancy! Different font, updated look. It's so pretty and easy on the eyes.…
