P is for Pear Lady!

Recently, I was tagged with the name meme by a friend on Facebook. I got such a kick out of it that over to my blog it had to come. Consider yourself forewarned on this one: it’s a tricky bugger to play depending on your name. One of my friends (of whom I tagged) called [...]

Hey, I’m Alive!

Welcome to the middle of the week!
Just in case one had a doubt, I’m still alive. (hey, stop booing already before I swat you – haha) I’ve finally gotten off my butt and back to my blog. Who says miracles don’t happen? ;P I’d tell you where I’ve been, etc. but I’d rather not bore [...]

It’s scrabblicious!

In case you aren’t aware, yes, I am one of those people that enjoys grammar-based activities. ["Shout out":  Red Ink, Inc.!] Scrabble has been really good to me lately [online]. Spelling has been a passionate hobby for more than half my life. How could resist this little blogthing?

Gone Political

I’ve done it now. I’ve taken a quiz recently that shows which presidential candidate(s) one aligns with according to current U.S. political issues.
Here’s the quiz link  – http://www.electoralcompass.com/v/wsj
My results: Closest in views to Hillary Clinton and furthest from Mike Huckabee.
I’m not sure if I should tell my family about this one. It might frighten some [...]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Yeah! Oh, how I wish I can show you all how my lights turned out, but my camera won’t cooperate. So, we’ll have to exercise our imaginations.
[insert twinkling white and colored lights making pretty star and cross patterns]
Christmas Eve fast approaches…which means (for me) going out to see other peoples’ lights, and of course, Christmas [...]

Gone Silly

As some of my frequent readers / visitors may have noticed, I’m involved in this little venture called National Blog Posting Month aka NaBloPoMo. It’s almost “NoMo” (no more), as it’s in the last week, and I’m still wondering what I’ll do come December First. In the meantime, I continue to enjoy. One of the groups [...]

Muttering on Sunday – Free Association #150

“Oh, boy, yet another meme”. No, wait, it’s not quite as it’s appears. It’s a “Free Association” exercise. Yes, I’m using this meme, but only as an exercise to build up my writing/cognitive skills, as well as somewhat control my jumbled thoughts, not for fishing for something of which to write. And, because I like [...]

Adventures in MemeLand

Trying to decide what to post at times can be like pulling a hamstring to me. It’s not that I’ve not ideas, or can get to them through a variety of Internet sources. However, the ideas jumble into a gnarled-up string ball of thoughts. (No, it’s not exactly a pretty picture I’m painting, that much I [...]

My Dream House

When I was younger, one of my hobbies was drawing, specifically the insides of houses. These drawings were like one might see in the Homes section of a paper, detailing the living room, kitchen, bedroom, etc. For a while, I thought that it might mean I was supposed to grown up and be an architect. Unfortunately, other [...]
