(photo: zastaviky.com) okay. so i have been slacking over here. a lot. i know it. it’s been a weird summer. but it’s now a new month and i’m determined to get my mess back in gear. to that end, i’m making every effort to post (nearly?) every day. and you’ll probably see a lot of […]
Morebreak out the Cristal, bitches. it’s a wrap! i can’t believe i survived. why didn’t somebody stop me from rolling straight from Blogtober14 into NaBloPoMo? i mean, really. i said back at the beginning of the month that i must be crazy and now, i’m completely sure i am. good. now i can officially use […]
Morewhile i hate every single thing about yesterday’s shopping shenannigans with the white-hot intensity of 1,000 suns, my feelings about today’s shopping cause is equally as strong in the opposite direction. running a small business — especially retail — is hard. and i love to do anything i can to support those businesses owners whenever […]
Moreokay, okay. for those keeping score, this is less of a bonus post and more of a make-up post. call it what you want. with just 2 days to go, i’m officially caught up on this 30 days/30 posts NaBloPoMo insanity. whew. so, i usually try to stay as far away from work here as […]
Moreomg. literally. i can’t think of anything i’d less like to do than stand in line for 16 hours in the freezing cold in the middle of the night probably surrounded by super-annoying people, face a stampede of said annoying people, risk getting crushed against the automatic doors of some big box retailer, then run […]
Moreyeesh. last night was late. after my work party, there was a lengthy gabfest with Spy, who’d just gotten back from a quick trip. and there was a lot of wine. and well, it all was completely fantastic until today when morning arrived way too early. so i headed over to The Daily Post in […]
Moresuper quick check in here, y’all. i have a big launch party tonight for a project i’ve been working on most of the year. i can’t really talk about it yet, but suffice to say a lot of hard work went into it and it’s amazing to see the combination of videos and apps coming together on […]
Moreeach morning when i wake up, pretty much the first thing i do (after peeling the cat off my head) is look at my phone to see what has happened overnight and what my schedule is for the day. this morning, i was surprised to find a sweet little piece of news that truly warmed my […]
Moresorry, y’all. call me vapid. call me unimaginative. call me greedy. but if i had a “. . . a key that can open one building, room, locker, or box to which you don’t normally have access. How do you use it, and why?” (thanks, The Daily Post!), i sure as hell can’t think of anything i’d […]
Moreyep. i completely blew this one off last weekend. Sunday shorts was a totally stupid commitment on top of NaBloPoMo. and i have never been called an over-achiever, y’all. so not sure at all what i was thinking, except that there was some kind of writer’s high and bizarrely non-religious, but god-must-hate-me kind of guilt […]
Moreat the end of a lazy Saturday morning of sleeping in (at least for me — yay!), grabbing breakfast out and meandering around Westside Provisions for far too long for a day when i had a hefty to do list, we made one last unplanned stop on the way home. we’d seen the “Coming Soon” […]
Moreabsolutely loved this writing challenge i saw yesterday on Daily (w)rite: Write a scene of ten sentences and include in each sentence a numeral. If you’ve reached ten sentences and you’d like to keep going, you can make this a scene of twenty sentences, or thirty — the idea is just to write within this pattern. […]
Moregetting caught up on missing posts (only behind by 1 so far) and feeling good! i wanted to do a quick nod to what i think is my last bottle from the last Naked Wines order. there are several kinds in the wine rack right now, but most are European, so i think they came from elsewhere. i […]
Moreat this rate, my time will come probably at some point next week. i have never looked forward to anything more in my life. ever. goodbye, cruel, sleep-stealing world! okay, i know i post a lot about sleeping. or, more accurately, not sleeping. or sometimes how much everyone else seems to be sleeping while i’m not sleeping. i’m […]
Moresqueezing in a bedtime post here to try and get back on track. day 9 got away from me, so i’m behind a NaBloPoMo post (again). i just decided i’m going to treat these like the stupid abs challenge from June and keep track of how many behind i am, then double up on days […]
Moreit is a gorgeous fall day outside. i’m trying super hard to be productive cleaning, organizing and generally not being a slug. and all day, writing this post has been in the back of my head, hanging over me like the homework assignment i did not want to tackle. in the last hour, i finally […]
Moreyay for Friday! seems like things are finally getting back to normal with Spy back from all his travels and me getting back to some semblance of a routine. as much as i hate to admit it, i thrive on routine. just wish i could be disciplined enough to stick to one for any length […]
Morewell, duh. it was completely foolish to think i’d actually write my post last night after a wine Wednesday out with the girls. creatures of habit that we are, this episode of writers wining once again took place at Baronda, where we were lucky enough to snag our favorite spot at the corner of the bar. the […]
Morewow, only day 3 and i’m already struggling with post topics. not a good sign for how this month is about to go! i searched and searched for some prompts i could turn to, but wasn’t really feelin’ any of them either. so, welcome to a little slice of my daily life. here’s the deal. i […]
Morewow, you guys! i can’t believe i’m actually doing this. in lieu of doing NaNoWriMo this year, i have committed to writing (and posting!) a 500-1,000ish word story or part of a story every Sunday. slacker that i am, i just knocked this one out, um, like right now so there has been pretty much […]
Moremy current situation on November 1 at 11:00 a.m. kind of a mess, y’all. when i finished my final Blogtober14 post on Thursday night and scheduled it for Friday, i breathed a sigh of relief, felt a sense of accomplishment and went about the business of Halloween — without a single thought about what i […]
