Sharing some humor, a bit of writing and way too much information

PROMPTuesday #187: Stolen/Found

This writing prompt is simple: Have you ever stolen anything?   Tell the story.   Or if you prefer, a flip side: Tell us about something you found.   I have tales to tell of both.   Post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #186: Which Movie was as Good as the Book? (+Giveaway)

Giveaway is closed! And #20 — Dora — is the winner! I’ll email you Dora!   The other day on Facebook, Julie asked what we thought about the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, if we’d seen the movie and how the two compare. I loved Extremely Loud, the book, a quirky and touching adventure…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #185: Belief

  I believe: 1. You can tell a lot about a person based on how they treat people who can’t do anything for him or her. 2. Writing is fumbling around a dark room searching for the light switch. 3. Imagination is more valuable than reason. 4. Comparing yourself to others saps your focus and…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #184: Way Back When

Dull lights twinkled in the grey distance, illuminating the jagged skyline. I watched it blur by as I sped along Route 55 in my white Hyundai, heading home late from my bank job in Southside Chicago. It was 10PM and my roommates waited for me at our apartment. We were 25, and it was never…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #183: Chicago, Etc.

Today I’m doing something a little unorthodox with PROMPTuesday: I’m sending you somewhere else.   This prompt comes from the Write Practice, and asks that you write inspired by the word, “Chicago.”   I left my submission there. I’d love to read what you write, too. You can say I sent you. Or not. You…Continue Reading

My Prime: And Don’t Let Life Pass You By

The Rock and I recently joined our good friends for a casual dinner, ordered a hefty order of pub food, and settled in for some easy conversation and laughs.   I expected silly talk mostly, because a long week just passed behind us and we all seemed prepared to empty our minds of the drivel…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #182: Get it Out

What’s the one thing you’ve alway wanted to tell someone but never have?   Maybe it’s a profession of love or a confession of guilt. Perhaps it’s something you need to get off your chest. Or words you’ve practiced in front of a mirror that you never delivered to the person for whom they were…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #181: The Prime

The other day at dinner, a friend asked when I thought the prime of my life “happened.” I scanned my memories and tried to come up with an apt answer, which I did, and will post in answer to the below shortly.   As for you, when is/was the prime of your life?   And…Continue Reading

A Terrible Waste

I knew it was over when he told me he’d been killed. I received the email at work, the Monday after Thanksgiving, a day usually reserved for catch-up and slowly easing into the week. I grabbed my coffee from the break room like I always did first thing and settled at my PC, ready to…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #180: Another Finisher

This week’s prompt asks that you finish the below sentence with a story or a line or a paragraph:   “I knew it was over when…”   The “over” doesn’t have to be a relationship, it can be a phase in your life, a job, a party, or a discussion.   Or anything for that…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #179: The Senses

PROMPTuesday is a weekly creative writing prompt from San Diego Momma blog.

PROMPTuesday #178: Hair Atrocity

Something befuddling happens to me every five years that I’m hard put to explain. I get a most strange tingling in my hair follicles and am compelled to cut everything off my head. In other words, I go short. And every single solitary time, I hate it, and every time I forget I hate it…Continue Reading

Highlights: learning about Mezcal at @enfuegocantina, sampling new @lalospirits tequila, catching the sunset at @monarchdelmar, amazing ceviche at @coya_peruvian_secret, and the most delicious gluten-free birthday cake from @shanjo! Recommend this for next year - was the best best most good time.
