I Think Accordions Are Following Me!

How to Survive The Football Season

As if on queue, the weather has turned to fall, perfect weather for the first Sunday of the NFL.  It's an official holiday at my house. As I write this, my husband is doing a touchdown dance behind a wall of minuscule helmets each representing his team picks. In my...

Ever had one of those days where you just know you should've stayed in bed?Unfortunately, I had one of those days all week. To add insult to injury, I had a hard time getting online today. So I spent my time playing around with my blog's design.I'm still not quite...

Stream of Consciousness Post

Hmmm. Today's NaBloPoMo prompt is "How did you feel about the start of the school year growing up?" No. I said I wasn't going to follow the prompts. School is a boring topic. I was lucky though. My brother was, as my geeky friends said, "One of the beautiful people",...

NaBloPoMo – Why are they hounding me? Why? Why? Why?

Its that time of year again. A time that I have to face reality. A time that I sometimes dread and other times can't wait to sit down to my keyboard. It's NaBloPoMo. Well, it officially starts tomorrow. What in the world makes them hang this over my head? Why are they...
