Part 1: The Prologue (Thursday, Jan. 22, 9PM. I am at a Cocktails in Historic Places event, sitting alone at a table, nursing wine and texting The Rock. Please note that I did not publish his responses, requiring you to use your super powers of deduction to fill in the blanks. Footnote: Rhonda is The…Continue Reading

Upping the Ante
I’m worried. Lately, I’ve been feeling uninspired and lame. Also, non-creative. For the past year or so. And it’s as if I can sense my creativity conduits drying up, akin to hardening of the arteries. Fresh synapses refuse to fire and I’m stuck on a track and I can’t even come up with words…Continue Reading
The Interview
San Diego Momma (SDM): Hi, My Creativity! It’s nice to finally sit down with you. You’re always coming and going. My Creativity: Yeah, well I hate to be tied down. SDM: I noticed. So let’s get started! Where were you born? My Creativity: I was born in the fertile peat of your…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #39: The Interview
This week, let’s do something fun! And fakeducational! Or loopy! Depending. My friend Kizz inspired this PROMPTuesday, even busy as she is working her way through all the PROMPTuesdays of yore. So Kizz’s idea was to do something funny. And THAT came to her as she watched Inside the Actor’s Studio with Ricky…Continue Reading
Finding the Balance
I often accuse my husband of not thinking things through. It’s a lame thing to do, because I’m no full-circle thinker, God knows, but I guess it’s easier to point the finger than to look at it wiggling back at you. I tell him he needs to set goals, make plans, move ahead in doing…Continue Reading
A Bad Apple
Macs are supposed to be wonderful, right? So can someone tell me why I’ve spent more on my 18-month-old MacBook Pro than if I’d bought four PCs? And can that same person tell me why my freaking track pad and keyboard are stuck and don’t work for nothin’ and why I’m contorted on my bed…Continue Reading
Even More “My Awesome Things.” Stop It Some More!
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
