Daily Prompt (From Yesterday)- Page 82 Stress
Yesterday’s Daily Prompt from the Daily Post read: Open your nearest book to page 82. Take the third full sentence on the page, and work it into a post somehow.

Minecraft, Comfits, and Wedding Strategy
The Daily Post’s Daily Prompt today is: Pick a random word and do a Google image search on it. Check out the eleventh picture it brings up. Write about whatever that image brings to mind. First, I googled “random word generator” which brought me to a site that produced a bullet list of ten words. Continue reading

I Married Mr. Miyagi
This year for Christmas, JC got a Chia pet. Technically, it’s a “Chia Gnome,” but I like to call it a Chia Hobbit. Unlike Eugene the Elf, Chia Hobbit is not creepy and does not freak me out. He’s a happy Hobbit who sits pleasantly in our kitchen, spreading luck and joy. My husband is Continue reading

WOAW’s What to Watch- Empire (SPOILER ALERT!)
I’ve been waiting for Fox’s Empire to start for months. Football fans are familiar with the commercials, I’m sure. It has been shoved at us through half of the football season. Every time the commercial came on, I told my husband I wanted to watch and he would say something like, “Have fun,” or “That’s all Continue reading

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. Continue reading

If you write it . . .
One of my all-time favorite movies is Field of Dreams (1989; Academy Awards Best Picture Nominee 1990). Baseball, Iowa, James Earl Jones, Shoeless Joe, dreams, hopes, tears . . . sigh. I first watched Field of Dreams in a lecture hall my freshman year of college on dollar movie night. I remember hiding my face as I Continue reading

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to WOAW
Well, hello there, Blogtropolis! You still out there? I don’t really have much to say, which explains why I haven’t been posting. But I didn’t want to let the days go by without recognizing my one-year blogging anniversary. My first post on WOAW was published on January 3, 2013. Ironically, I wrote in that first Continue reading

Sweet Defiance
My son, JC, who turns 10 at the end of the month, has what he calls “interests.” These “interests” range from particular types of jellyfish (the arctic comb jelly is his current favorite) to Star Wars, to his favorite app, Minecraft. During the life span of any one of his “interests,” he likes to research Continue reading
