Shhhh. I’m not supposed to be here. I have reports to edit and copy to write and miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep. But it’s time for a new Awesome Things installment, and so away we go. This list comes courtesy of my friend, Cocktail Maven. She has…Continue Reading

More “My Awesome Things.” Now, Richer and Creamier!
See, this is why I don’t do serieses. I don’t serieses because I’m not serial about it. I let some little distraction, like a backlog of eight 50-page reports to edit, to sidetrack me and screw the whole consecutiveness of my serieses. But here I am anyway, because thank God I made people I…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #38: My Awesome Things
So obviously, I’ve veered from my typical PROMPTs these past two weeks. But that’s all part of being creative, right? Departing from the norm? Mixing it up? Puttin’ on the ritz? (I don’t analyze this stuff, folks, I just blog past my bedtime and hope it all makes sense in the morning.) Either way,…Continue Reading
My Awesome Things Series
I’ve long wanted to poll my favorite people and ask them about stuff they like (I apologize for clunky writing. Still a bit under the weather and all.) And then I wanted to post their answers for everyone because you might see something new and cool to try. So today, I’m starting the “My…Continue Reading
Interlude
There’s all kinds of things wrong here today. There’s the urinary tract infection, and the sinus infection, and the barf infection. The barf infection is particularly loathsome and detrimental to my person. And I’m not even barfing yet. I meant to write muchly today, and as I made my way to the shower, I…Continue Reading
I Need A Dristan Drip…And A Cribbie
So I learned how to post videos to Vimeo. You fortunate people. So now you get to hear Toots read a bedtime story! May its soft melodious nonsense soothe you to a sweet slumber. Also, be ye warned: I sound mannish, and say chaste things like “Speak slower so God can hear you.” Because…Continue Reading

Don’t forget the Children’s Place Gift Card Giveaway! ************************************************************************************* On July 5, 2007, I decided to quit a lot of crazy things cold turkey. These things included caffeine, sugar, white flour, corn syrup solids, sucrose, fructose, lactose, and whatever the hell else I decided to lump into my insane dietary experiment. At…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #37: Book Club
This is a little more unorthodox than my usual PROMPTuesdays, only because I recently saw a list of 101 Things For A Mom Blogger to Write About, and the starter “The Best Book I Ever Read Was…” jumped out at me. Now I know it’s not a fresh topic, nor bawdy nor random, but I…Continue Reading
It’s Not Easy Being Square
Don’t forget the Children’s Place Gift Card Giveaway! ************************************************************************************* I’m having a hard time making friends at my daughter’s preschool. Because I tend to be the sort of person who hangs back a bit a first meet, I just can’t integrate into the group. It doesn’t help that I get nervous around “new” people,…Continue Reading
Another Rock Gift
My husband is aces at picking gifts. He considers the personature of a person, which I guess could also be referred to as “personality,” if you weren’t given to making up words, and selects just the right thing. Sometimes he takes risks, too, and they usually pan out. This was a risk. I don’t typically…Continue Reading
Can’t Wait to Read
The Rock got me this for Christmas, and I am beside myself with anticipation. Of course, I need to find a minute or a brain cell in order to read, but I’m looking forward to reclaiming my life as a reader. Also, if you haven’t read it yet, I Know This Much is True, also…Continue Reading
