Project 2487 He pulled project 2487 from its slot and placed it on the makeshift pedestal. Eyes closed, he directed a pointer at the sphere. Peking, the latest chosen location delighted him. His lips curved slightly upward as his fingers flew across the keyboard. The experiment’s final stage ‒ his favorite. The globe changed with…
Did you do your homework? Are you prepared with a favorite song? One that will surely live on through the ages? Oh, is that not what I asked for? Well, you have a few minutes before you have to share, so if you’re not prepared you have time to scramble. Last week we talked about…
I believe it’s time for a little monster fun. No, it’s not Immortal Monday and I don’t mean the kids as they attack the presents under the Christmas tree. Although, that would be fun as well. I know. It’s not a picture of kids ripping open shiny boxes. But this over zealous “Buddy” reminds me all too…
I have a bad habit. I fall in love too often. Have too many men, and none of them are real. Yep. I hate to say it, but I fall for the hero time and time again in the books I read. Sigh. The thing is, I want to love the main man. Whether the…
The past week or so I started finding the extra time, as summer started winding down and the kids prepared to go back to school, to inch back into a blogging groove. Maybe you noticed. I began getting out there again. I’m trying to visit blogs and keep up with mine while still maintaining a…
Yesterday, across the United States, people everywhere were celebrating a right and privilege we as a people declared on July 4th 1776. The war that followed to obtain that freedom would continue to play on for another seven years. There is another freedom that we should be celebrating as well. The freedom of creativity. It’s a…
Wednesday posts have taken on a bit of a writer’s theme lately. Don’t you be getting used to it now. I can be a fickle girl. But today, I’ll be sharing more writerly stuff. Only this time, I won’t be sharing anyone’s work but my own. Try not to mash your teeth and run away.…
Spontaneity. . . Not one of my best qualities. I am in love with the idea of it, wish to embrace it, yet constantly find the need to plan, organize, plot and formulate. These traits can be awesome when it comes to planning events and organizing one’s day. But sometimes enough is enough! Do you…
When I was young I had a horrible time with history. Hated it. Where did this stem from? I never had a very good teacher when it came to the subject. In high school I had a teacher that I think tried to make class time fun. The problem was he wasn’t making the subject…
A while back, a girlfriend of mine was good enough to introduce me to a foreign film and martial arts beauty, House of Flying Daggers. I’ll admit, when I rented the film I was solely interested in studying the fighting techniques and had little interest in following the movie. If I’m required to read a…
I can’t believe 80 days have passed me by already. Are we truly at the end? Sheesh. Where did all those days go? Tomorrow’s the last day. What did I learn? Since I am writing this in advance, I can’t tell you for sure where the kids and I are. We are playing our…
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Confucius? I’ve been making changes and adjustments now that I find myself at the end of my fourth week. Editing of my first book will be moving up to the front of my priority list for a while. At least…
