When I was in college, my niece lived near my parents and when I went home for vacations, she spent a lot of time at our house. She was the cutest and one of the smartest little girls I had ever seen. I think she was about five or six at the time. [...]

Warming Sun
Posted in poetry, weather, tagged feeble attempt at poetry on February 27, 2008 | 4 Comments »
brilliant, warming sun
breaks through my window
I yawn, close my eyes
roll over, pull the covers
over my head
not yet, not yet
then it hits me!
it’s the sun!
finally, at long last, sun!
birds serenade and greet
the newly lit day
Just His Luck

[Second Chance prompt for Writers Island]
Ricky couldn’t believe his luck!
He always tried to be prepared but it was hard to study for a big test when the weather was so great outside and when his friends were out side his window yelling for him to go have some fun. And that’s what he’d done [...]
Looking At Me
Posted in writing, tagged eyes looking at me, journal writing, someone's watching on February 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Note:This is from a journal write that I came across after a friend posted some of her journal writes. I don’t remember writing it at all but I found it scratched in my hand as if I had done it under some kind of trance. I guess this shows that journal writes can produce [...]
Teachers, Chemistry, And Other Bonds
Posted in life, memoir, tagged high school, students, teachers on February 21, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I remember a lot from when I was growing up but usually it is the negative things that haunt my mind. It is a rare treat to think of …to remember… the happy times…the happy thoughts. High school was probably the happiest time of my life. I was someone. I mattered. [...]

This week’s Writer’s Island prompt is Time Travel. Here’s my try:
Sherry tumbled to the floor next to her bed, immediately realizing that it had happened again. This was the third time she knew of but she suspected that there had been more times of which she was unaware.

And So I Ramble…

A while back I had to have my cable box replaced because it stopped responding to the signal sent from Comcast. When I picked up the new one, they gave me no instructions and no schematic drawing. I figured it was a piece of cake and brought it home. It took me about a week [...]

For this week’s Thursday Thirteen, I’ve decided to give you my list of thirteen movies to watch when you are in a romantic mood (or want to get into one). Each is described in a succinct thirteen words. Maybe you can watch one tonight? I have most of them on DVD. I [...]

Finding things I lost
Posted in Julia Cameron, Morning Pages, about me, lost blogs on February 9, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I just came across a number of blogs I began a while back then forgot, or more accurately abandoned. There were four of them. One of them had only two entries and there wasn’t anything of substance there so I was able to figure out how to delete that one. The others I am keeping, [...]
