Write something that revolves around movement. Welcome to Day 3 of the Writing Prompt excitement. Something that revolves around movement... Since the lockdown due to the pandemic, I've added a couple of new talents to my repertoire. First, I've become an expert bread-maker. I have a great no-knead recipe that comes out delicious every time.…
Juggling November
Two years ago, I wrote a blog post on Halloween night discussing whether I should take part in NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. I did do NaNo that year and "won," meaning I wrote 50,000 words in the month of November. That first draft sucked. But for the next year and a half I worked…
On Time and More of It
For those of you who don't know, I was recently "restructured" out of a job. Remember my lovely job in downtown Trenton? (I posted about Trenton here and here). Well, it is no more. On one hand, this is not terrible. I wasn't thrilled with the job anyway and financially and emotionally, it made sense…
Asteroids and Space Junk: The Countdown Begins!
Did anybody read this article from CNN last week: “Big asteroid buzzes past Earth and will again”? Apparently, while our own NASA was shutdown thanks to Congress, Ukranian astronomers discovered an asteroid which they named “2013 TV135. Called “one of the most dangerous asteroids on record,” this big guy “zipped close by Earth last month.”…
Things That Make You Go Hmmm . . . . Trenton Style, Part II
Hi Everyone! I've been off of work since last Thursday and it just dawned on me that I haven't posted yet this week. We've been dealing with back-to-school for all three of my boys (my husband is a teacher), who of course are in three different school districts and have three different schedules. That I…
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…
Things That Make You Go Hmmm…. Trenton Style
Trenton, New Jersey! The New Jersey state capital. I get to work there and it never ceases to amaze me. First, the people. My biggest complaint about the People of Trenton is that they don't know to "cross on green." It would really help traffic patterns and us out-of-town road-ragers if they'd just follow this…
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.…
My Woobie, My Love
My mother introduced me to her over ten years ago. At first, I thought she was too long. Too green. Too boxy. The sleeves hung off like big, floppy . . . sleeves. The brown wooden buttons she sported were majorly ugly. I'm not sure what possessed me, but I took her anyway and brought her to my…
Rain and Poop
While stopped at a light on my evening commute, this happened: Yep, that's bird poop. I immediately thought of all of you (no offense) and wondered how I could relate the disgusting Trenton bird poop incident to my day for your blog reading entertainment. As I mentally drafted my post, I wallowed in word play…
