My NaBloPoMo Adventure is a Wrap!
This month I “ran” a word marathon, well this is my last lap [insert Rocky music here]! My victory lap, if you will. Now actual runners might think that’s a pretty wimpy marathon, but I dug deep, I scraped out the bottom of my brain, I begged words from strangers, I scrapped the bottom of…

On Second Winds and Finish Lines
I love this photo. I have no idea if that runner is getting his second wind, but looking at it helped me find mine. I would have liked to get that second wind last Friday, but I’m just glad I got it. One thing about living long (and sometimes prospering) and finishing things, is understanding…

It Wouldn’t Let Me Go – Why I Wrote OUT OF TIME
It sounds kind of crazy now, but the germ of the idea for Out of Time got planted while I was watching The Last of the Mohicans. I can’t quite connect the dots between the movie and the finished book. See my blog post about my mental real estate for possible explanations why. I do know…

Doctor Who…Loves the Show, too?
I’ve already “come out” as loving quirky, so it shouldn’t be a huge shock to find out that I love Doctor Who. I can’t remember how old I was when I first saw the strange man emerge from the blue police box. I know I wasn’t young, because we didn’t get British shows on the…

Lessons from HGTV
I’ve been working on this blog post for some time (i.e. watching HGTV), so I had some words in reserve (i.e. making notes as thoughts come to me), but let me first say thank you to everyone willing to share their extra words with me during my recent word shortage. I’ve never let my supply…

Blog’s Regular Wordage Returns Tomorrow
In the meantime, I bring you a great photo and something to think about. “Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow what a ride!” ― Marjorie Pay…

Caption This Photo and Refill My Word Well
I had another photo planned for today’s post, but thanks to a severe word shortage I am going in a less wordy direction. The hubs asked me to help with his mini emergency. He has a photo in need of a caption. So when you’re coming up with words to help me refill my word…

In Chaos There is…Chaos…
Day 22 of the NaBloPoMo Blogging challenge and I will admit that I’m scraping the bottom of my brain. The hub’s picture is my brain on the blogging challenge. Okay, I don’t know if it’s green, but there is for sure chaos. Let’s face it, this week I blogged about bras. There were a couple…

Bridges to Somewhere?
Bridges. As I was mulling this post, of course the first thing that came to my mind was The Bridges of Madison County. I’m happy to say I never read the book or saw the movie. I did read the Doonesbury version (The Washed Out Bridges of Madison County) in the comics. It was pretty…
