MY FAVORITE FLUFFY FILMS
This week can’t end fast enough, yet, we could use a few more days. Nonetheless, we’re halfway and since we just started feeling that we may survive this week (knock on wood!), when the kids finally got to bed, I wanted to shut off my brain and just hang out while doing normal things like…
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: UNFOCUSED
I chose this picture because this person maintained extreme focus but the result was unfocused. WTF – Watch the Force!
BACK TO THE FUTURE – NOVEL WAY TO CAPTURE HISTORY
The other day my daughter and I drove down the street when this caused me to do a nearly- illegal u-turn in the street. We admired every detail as my mind started racing thinking of the increments of time covered in these Back to the Future films. The ability to go back, reliving or rewriting…
12. HAVE A RAINBOW MEAL
Today being Cinco de Mayo, we threw a family fiesta! Trying to figure out a Mexican menu that both kids would eat challenged me. One kid eats quesadillas, the other hates melted cheese. One loves spicy food, the other gets easily burned. I settled on Chicken Fajitas. I immediately thought how colorful and beautiful it…
INFJ – WTF!
Let me introduce you to Meyers & Briggs. You may recognize the implication of these letters – to identify one’s personality type – even if you don’t know their meaning. While researching the colors of my parachute, I tested to see if my instincts and the experts agree about what I do well. This stemmed…
WEEKLY PHOTO CONTEST: TOGETHER
I’ve always wanted kitties that love to snuggle and hang out together! Don’t get me wrong, Blinky (16 years – the groomee) and Moonshine (2 years – the groomer) wrestle with fur flying at least once a day, but then the young’n helps the old’n. Of course, I can’t have this post without some cute…
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: SUN
The first sunny day we’ve had since this challenge was first posted. Not to be ungrateful but I really need it to rain so my daughter’s softball game will get rained out so we can go to my son’s school competition! Thankfully within an hour the clouds started getting thicker. Can next week’s challenge be…
PULLED MOM RANK TO SEE DISNEY NATURE CHIMPANZEE
Somewhere along the way, my kids became jaded before their time. When I wanted to see Disney Nature Chimpanzee and my kids refused, while regularly quoting Zombieland or pointing out when real artifacts resembling those in games, something had gone awry. From the moment I bawled during the trailer, I knew I’d make my family see…
WTF: WAIT THERE’S FIRE!
We mindlessly wander through our routines, hopefully paying attention to what you’re doing, but hopping from place to place. Every so often, life throws a stick in your spokes and knocks you off course. Yesterday I flew so far I landed disoriented, quickly feeling for a familiar path. Wait, a signpost up ahead – next…
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Two Subjects
For “Two Subjects” I’m submitting Two Photos! Ain’t nothing more fun than eating on the grassy lawn at the In-n-Out Burger right by LAX and watching the planes land! Breakfast with one of my furry nieces!

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!
Earlier, I redirected my focus towards personal growth rather than being quick to dismiss challenges. I am making myself accountable to wordpress to challenge myself for 30 days then report back. After 30 days, it forms a habit (although, I didn’t start falling behind with blogging until 90+ days). As with any change in habits,…
