Such a word that is, indicative of choices big and small. I’ve faced more change than choice in the past 30 days or so, thanks to a major relationship change. But there have been choices, and there will be yet more choices in the future—choices that I will be making alone for the first time […]
What was your favourite part about returning to school?
The NaBloPoMo prompt for today: What was your favourite part about returning to school? That’s not an easy question. It wasn’t cool to acknowledge being happy to return to school each year, of course, so while I was glad, I didn’t really acknowledge it to myself. As a result, it is more difficult to access those […]
NaBloPoMo, Again
I’m trying NaBloPoMo again! The theme this month is “Return,” although I’m not at all sure what the heck that’s supposed to mean. I got today’s post in just under the wire, obviously—but I did post! Tomorrow I’ll try to do it much better. And I’ll even include photos of the new kitten! Maybe he’ll […]
Long Time, No Posts
I’ve been gone so long that I doubt anyone reads this anymore. If the feed is still in anyone’s readers, they’ll just be stunned to see something come through! I am still out here. I have notes all over the places where I’ve started writing posts and then…something happens. I get tired or distracted or […]
Say goodbye to Kansas, Dorothy
From LiveJournal’s “Writer’s Block” prompt: If you woke up surrounded by doctors who told you that you’d been in a medical experiment since birth and that your entire life had been a dream, how do you think you’d react? I’d want to see the informed consent forms I’d supposedly signed, and I would go over them […]
Question of the Day: Put it all together, it spells Mother
From LiveJournal’s “Writer’s Block” prompt: What’s the most important lesson your mom taught you? You can’t believe the words, only the actions. No, I don’t ever recall her saying it. It’s something I had to learn the hard way.
Thoughts about what I want in a theme
It’s been way too long since I started, but didn’t actually finish, the process of moving all the old articles on this site over into WordPress. I got bogged down and didn’t really finish, so the site stayed half-done and sucky. Now I don’t know if I should even bother finishing. Part of the trouble […]
Why I’m Thankful for Caller ID
Leaf I’m not avoiding my mother, but I get tense when I see her on my caller ID lately. We tend to stay in touch by email more than by phone, and if she calls it usually means that there’s something that can’t wait on email. We’ve lost five members of our extended family since […]
Oh No, I Have That Itch
No, nothing like that! I’ve been looking at WordPress themes. Again. Lots of them. I have lots of tutorials bookmarked about creating your own themes, too. I even have a couple of books on the subject. One is quite new. Danger, danger, Will Robinson!
September 2010 NaBloPoMo Theme: Art
I received the NaBloPoMo newsletter today and learned that this month’s theme is Art. On the one hand, I thought, “I have nothing to say! I’m not an artist. Blah.” On the other hand, I’m coming to realize that I must have order in my life or I start dying, bit by bit. “Enemy of […]
