My random musings, crazy ideas, distractions, mental vacations and anything that makes me take pause.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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!
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,…
Through my window I see someone else’s window staring back but sometimes I see through into other dimensions it feels.
UNUSUAL is so subjective that I found it tough to find something to fall under this category. This was unusual because of its location, I found this in Anytown, USA in a store like a Kmart in the middle of the socks and disposable underwear (ok, those were unusual too). Also what was unusual is…
I suffer from an ailment common for women. It strikes without warning and no vaccine exists. It causes trembling, racing hearts, sweaty palms, hysteria, weak knees and passing out. It’s Matchbox Twenty Mania! I’ve kept it under control, but tonight this Facebook post caused a flare up: Cut another song for the new Matchbox Twenty…
Perhaps this isn’t truly distortion though, maybe he really is smiling that big with or without the lens!
