Just wanted to let everyone know I'm taking a break from this blog (in case you hadn't noticed, which was actually the title of my last post!). Anyway, I'm still writing, a LOT! Just in different places and different ways. First, I'm writing 750 words a day at a site called ... well ... 750 … Continue reading Taking a longer break!

Yawn, stretch, try to come alive!
No, I'm not about to break into the theme song from "9 to 5"! Although I did see that move multiple times while I was working at my very first "real" job, as an assistant to the assistant to the assistant to the assistant to the librarian at the UMKC Dental School Library, way back … Continue reading Yawn, stretch, try to come alive!
And whatever happened to Barney Google?
This morning I went for a walk around the neighborhood again. Reseda is really a beautiful place in a sort of shabby chic kind of way. And yes, there are some mansions in our little neighborhood but they're kind of strange mansions, hidden from sight unless you know where to look. I guess the one … Continue reading And whatever happened to Barney Google?
Yet another post brought to you by the new 750 Words!
Good morning, and welcome to yet another day in the Summer of Sizzle! I don't even want to think about eating at Sizzler, even though it was a pretty good place to eat the few times I've been to one. But just the name makes me hot. What are some other hot names to avoid? … Continue reading Yet another post brought to you by the new 750 Words!
Ugly Betty’s In Barbie? I’m In!!
I'm so annoyed when someone uses the word "woke" to disparage something they just don't like. If people don't like a movie, like "Barbie," why don't they just say what they didn't like about it instead of just saying it's "woke" and that's it? Lazy, lazy, lazy. Anyway, it's Tuesday, July 25, 2023 and this … Continue reading Ugly Betty’s In Barbie? I’m In!!
Back in the saddle again!
Good morning and happy Thursday! Yes, I know, it's been way too long since I did a blog post here - or anywhere, for that matter. And there's been a lot of stuff to write about, too. Sad things, weird things, and happy things. Let's start with the sad things and get them out of … Continue reading Back in the saddle again!
Yeah, I know, I totally missed April, didn’t I?
Sigh! Let's face it, gang, I'm kind of out of the blogging habit right now! Sorry about that! I know, I know, when I first started this blog I was posting every week (even sometimes mid-week, when I was feeling really ambitious!). A big part of that was that I had an actual goal for … Continue reading Yeah, I know, I totally missed April, didn’t I?
Oh heck, okay, I’ll write a blog post then!
Yeah, sorry, I keep intending to write another post, said intention having been "at least once a week," but looks like the last one was [squints] January 24, and here it is February [squints again; man, I really need new glasses] 21st! Part of the problem is I really don't have anything interesting or exciting … Continue reading Oh heck, okay, I’ll write a blog post then!
Friday is for cleanup!
Hey, everyone! Didja miss me yesterday? Well, I didn't miss you! Okay, okay, I don't mean you *personally,* just blogging in general! I know I got you all used to Thursday being the "new" blogging day, and now here I am on Friday?? https://www.youtube.com/embed/kfVsfOSbJY0 And now you've got that song stuck in your head. Sorry! … Continue reading Friday is for cleanup!
Today’s forecast: brain fog in the morning, clearing by noon!
Hey, everyone! Well, here we are in beautiful, sunny Southern California, on a crisp autumn day in October, and what do you think I see from my window? That's right-- it's so dull, grey, and gloomy outside I can't even find an appropriate meme to express my feelings! (hee hee!) Anyway, this blog post won't … Continue reading Today’s forecast: brain fog in the morning, clearing by noon!
