It’s all about You

The last Monday in October has me planning for a hectic November. In addition to Book Club, Card Club and Prompt Club, there are holidays on the horizon… 13 days until BB’s baptism, 22 days until Zach’s birthday, 30 days until Thanksgiving, 35 days until Nicole’s birthday, (wasn’t that convenient of me to have both my…

It’s hard to be a Bears fan. (It occurred to me to just stop there. That would be my entire Monday blog. I mean, really, what more is there to say?) But no—I shall blog on! I hope you’ll “bear” with me as I toss out a crazy idea that just might keep folks on…

My favorite times of the year are: My Birthday Week* Holiday Season** Back to School Time*** *Admittedly, sometimes I get longer than a week. **I’m not being politically correct, “Holiday Season” is pretty much all-inclusive for me, covering Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s—although truth be told, I’m usually holidayed out by December 31. ***As…

Wonderful Overwhelming Amazing When I was writing up the proposal for Word of Art, I kept it strikingly similar to Drawn with Words, the Art in your Eye program I had participated in the year before.

An epidemic of challenges is going around Facebook and other social media networks. It’s fun, it’s beneficial, it’s inclusive. Beneath a bucket of ice water, we’re all equal.

You know what I miss? Curfews. Oh! I just got that—I miss curfews because I’m late, lol. No, that’s not what I mean at all. (I’m never late.) I miss curfews and data plans and dial-up. Yes, you read that correctly. I said I miss dial-up. I don’t miss the inconvenience, the interruptions, or *ugh*…

I had an install at 8 am this morning. That’s really early for me. When the doorbell rang and he said he was here with a dishwasher and microwave, I said “YAY!” and he replied, “It’s only a dishwasher and microwave, no need for such enthusiasm.” Obviously 8 am is early for him, too. When…

I haven’t read Danielle Steel in years. More than years, decades. But I used to. Books like Star, Wanderlust, and Kaleidoscope were just what I needed after having the bejesus scared out of me by Stephen King in The Stand and IT, or venturing through the depths of books like Snow Crash and The Diamond…

I’m trying to pace myself– to keep Word of Art on your radar without beating you over the head with it. It’s just… I’M SO EXCITED! I have collected all of the canvases and will begin photographing them for the book soon. (these are just teasers!) For those of you unfamiliar, Word of Art…
