Have you done PROMPTuesday yet? If not, here you go! May my exciting and scintillating prompt responses inspire you. (Just don’t get all “wanting to be exactly like me” on my butt.) 1.

PROMPTuesday #215: ME-ME
Memes used to be huge, remember them? Back in 2008 when I was newly San Diego Momma, they circulated around the Internet like bloggy wildfire and if you weren’t “tagged,” you felt like a failure. Happily, Heather at ThetaMom and Elaine at Miss Elaine-ous Life are resurrecting the “Eight Questions” meme that was…Continue Reading
Saving for College with My New Friend, ScholarShare
This post is about saving for college and may be a little more panicked than usual because I just found out my health insurance premiums went up $100 and HOW DOES ANYONE OF NORMAL INCOME LIVE IN CALIFORNIA? So then NOW we’re supposed to put money away for our kids’ college? It’s all…Continue Reading
A Writer’s Dream
You put your pen down. The windows give signs, but you forget to look for days that become rings on trees. There are desperate drives to clear the fog; and where you strain to see striated rock and cavern vistas that portend of vastness and peas under the mattress. You are the pea…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #214: Happy Trails
This is a repeat prompt that I’m posting again because we just returned from a vacation to Southern Utah and I’m quite certain it’ll be one of those trips my kids remember forever, probably because we stopped in VEGAS! first and once we arrived in the mountains, it was the coldest my San Diego kids…Continue Reading
The BlogTHAT Scene
OK, here it is: a scene from the comedy web series I’ve been writing for…a year? ever? SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME YOU LIKE IT! I know that last part wasn’t a time reference. The thing about being creative is that eventually you have to “ship” your work and the putting it out there is…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #213: Kodachrome
I wrote the below a year or so ago and it often makes me think of indelible moments – those mass of seconds you remember forever, down to the vinegary smell of just cleaned counters and the temperature of the hot chocolate your mom pressed into your little hands as you watched the Banana Splits…Continue Reading
Workout “Gear”
Although my foray into losing pounds hath forsaken me, I thought I’d at least share some helpful things I discovered while on my pointless diet-and-exercise journey to nowhere. Maybe they’ll work for some of you. I’ll just sit here and expand further into butt oblivion while you read. Nuun U Natural Hydration…Continue Reading
