I’m itching for a good old fashioned style prompt and so I’m going to indulge myself today. In 200 words or less, describe a day in the life of an obsessive twitterer. I know it’s been done, but the Twits in Twitterland are so asking for it. Please post your submission in…Continue Reading

PROMPTUESDAY #73: Silliloquy*
After a recent evening out, The Rock and I arrived home at 12:06AM and wondered aloud what to pay the babysitter. She’d arrived at about 7PM and since we were between hours, the payment protocol was all off. Should we pay her from 7PM to 12AM? Or, 7PM to 12:30AM? Or 7PM to 12:15AM? And…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #66: Love, Me
Once in my early 20s, a cheating buttwad of a boyfriend lent me his grey Toyota Tercel hatchback. I drove it from Los Angeles to my family’s home in San Diego and planned to meet him there because he was a marine and often stayed at my mom and dad’s place between his Camp Pendleton…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #64: Eeeeeevvvvvviiiilllll
Lately, I’ve found my pockmarked brain really enjoying children’s programming. (Except for Yo Gabba Gabba. Do not watch Yo Gabba Gabba. My friend, Island Girl, is right when she says that show is like a kid rave.) That, and Kidz Bop, are why all our children are making out in second grade bathrooms. At…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #63: Looking Back
Hi, it’s me. No, don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s just there’s so many holes to patch (oh, metaphor), and paints to brush, and cartons to pack, and whines to have, and frozen dinners to artificially warm that make me feel like less of a mom. What? When will I ever not have an issue…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #62: Whose Line is it Anyway?
I got the below line from somewhere and can’t recall from where. Can you imagine a greater treason if you’re a writer? Still, it’s a great prompt starter and I can’t resist, even if I’m unable to give the original author credit. So please, write a story using the line “Flying through the streets…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #61: Imagine That
I’m scared to fly. Best of all and super exciting is that I get to do it next month for my brother’s wedding. In New York. (Can’t you people get married where there’s easier ground transportation? And in a city of closer proximity not necessitating air travel?) For God’s sake. At any rate,…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #60: Lie to Me
We got a meme this week, folks. And I’m going with it because the topic intrigues me and I love to lie for sport. So by way of Green Girl, this meme/PROMPT is as follows: “Sometimes you can learn more about a person by what they don’t tell you, or from the things they…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #59: Decisions, Decisions
The Rock and I are in the process of making some major decisions on our future. Really BIG decisions. Ones that can change lives. Alter the trajectory of our existence even. We might move to the suburbs. I know. But this is good, right? Costco proximity? Cul de sacs? Girl scouts? Crazy…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #58: We All Need One

Do you have a friend who makes you laugh and is a guaranteed good time? Write about this friend. Tell…Continue Reading
