Today a couple of things happened that made me think I'm perhaps losing my mind. First, I left the van windows open all night (yes, the van The Rock tried to fit his extra long baguette into). Admittedly, it's not the first time that happened, but now JC can add "damp, mildewy, and dank" to…
Pour Some Sugar
On the way to work today, Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me" played on the radio. That song always jets me back to high school at warp speed. I sang along in the van. "Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on. Living like a lover with a red owwf on." Wait.…
A couple of weeks ago, author Chuck Wendig posted his Friday writing challenge called "Roll for Your Title." I tried to do it and failed miserably (remember the "Remote Control Hive Mind"? Ugh.) However, my friend Shaunna gave it a shot, just for fun. She doesn't have a blog and I love her story so…
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…
Apologies, Random Comments, and a Shout Out to Sweetness
Hello, WordPress World!Just a quick post with some random thoughts to share.First, apologies for writing that dreadful (yet FICTIONAL people!) parenting post and then dropping you all like a hot potato!

Rejected but Okay
I previously shared that Angela and I teamed up and co-wrote and submitted a screenplay to a screenplay writing competition associated with a major film festival. Well, today we got our rejection letter. It was very nice and polite--thanking and commending us and explaining that over 8,000 screenplays were submitted and the decision was difficult,…
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.…
A Quick Post on the Daily Prompt
The Daily Post's Daily Prompt today is "Smell You Later." You can see the post here. The prompt is: Humans have very strong scent memory. Tell us about a smell that transports you. This one came to me easily. The smell of Biolage shampoo transports me to the summer of 1990. I didn't realize that…
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.…
What Inspires You?
Inspiration is defined as "the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative." I've read and re-read that definition about ten times while staring at the blinking cursor here and it wasn't until the tenth time that I realized how incredible it is to be inspired. That something,…
