Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
Thank you veterans. To all those who have served, and all those who currently serve. The back of this picture says, "Boat leave. September 1945"I miss you, Dad. Be sure to check out "8 Ways to Express Appreciation on Veterans Day" from Military.com to see suggestions for how you can say, Thank you veterans. Like... Continue Reading →
Oops, I did it again. Oh, and apologies for the ear worm. Every fall, I decide this will be the year I take tons of amazing foliage pictures, and two seconds later, all the trees are bare. I call it my Fall foliage fail. I usually manage to snap a couple before getting distracted by... Continue Reading →
I realized this morning that my posts so far this month for NaBloPoMo have belied my blog's tagline of, "G33k. Witch. Wordsmith." I have the "Wordsmith" covered, but I should give some equal time to the other two, before they complain. So here's my something witchy. If you haven't guessed by now, I am Wiccan....

I was poking around my computer files this morning, procrastinating cleaning things up a bit before catching up on some NaNo writing (my goal today is 4,000 words. *gulp*). I stumbled upon the very first prompt I sent out to my old writing group, called "The Black Velvet Box." It was supposed to be 500... Continue Reading →
A month or two ago, I heard the song, “Tangled Up in You” by Staind, and immediately fell in love with it. I thought about posting it on my hubby’s Facebook wall for our 25th anniversary, so I went looking for an official video. Apparently there isn’t one, but I found this lyric video -...

I call this bit of creative writing, set in a fantasy land where my depression is almost entertaining, Melancholutopia. Chapter 1 Once upon a time, there lived a princess who believed as soon as she met her true love, married him, and had many royal kidlets, she’d live happily ever after. Belle’s library and an...

Back in those dark days of the not too distant past, the weekly need to do our laundry affected my whole day (and, to be honest, bled over to the days before and after as well). We’d been spoiled by many years of having our own washer and dryer, before downsizing an extreme amount to... Continue Reading →
Today, in addition to being hubby's birthday (happy birthday, hon! I love you!), was the first time our eldest got to vote. Needless to say, proud momma managed (with permission from the gentleman in charge) to snap a picture as she entered the booth. It was also a bit of a trip down memory lane,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was one of those days. Before this month crammed full of writing began, I had plans that I’d get my daily blogging done and posted before noon, then spend the rest of the day doing fits and spurts of NaNo writing. But my body decided Daylight Savings be dammed, and I slept twelve hours... Continue Reading →
First, a clarification from yesterday’s post - my fourteen year old said she was less “appropriately horrified” and more “mildly inconvenienced” (her words) because she had to keep her hand in front of her face to hide my mad dancing skills from her eyes. I guess my ability to trip the light fantastic intimidates her... Continue Reading →
And so it begins… I’ve made breakfast and packed a lunch for hubby. Cleared the clutter off the front porch, and washed the dishes. Made a cup of coffee, two fried egg sandwiches for the youngest two teens, and ate a Portuguese muffin with a second cup of coffee (my idea of breakfast). Poked around... Continue Reading →
How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? ~ Dr. Seuss It's hard to believe it's been 366 days since my last blog post. Needless to say, there's much... Continue Reading →
