If only I’d known about the In Print ABC Blogging Challenge, http://inprintwriters.com/2013/01/12/the-abc-blog-post-challenge/, last July, I surely would have saved my Eff-bomb blog for today. How sad is it that as I sit here thinking “F,” that is the only word that comes to mind?! F…ef…eff… fa…fah… or should that be fuh…? Fa-fa-fa-Films? Sure, let’s go…

E is for Empty Nesting Despite the fact that I hadn’t planned on having babies when I did, I always liked that they would both be legal adults by the time I was 40. Yes, we were young parents but I don’t think we missed out on anything along the way– individually, together, or as…

I feel like Frosty the Snowman when he first comes to life and shouts, “Happy Birthday!” A bit overwhelmed and quite discombobulated. It’s been a long holiday season—and it isn’t over yet… I couldn’t tell you the day of the week. I don’t know if the clothes in the basket are clean or dirty. I…

I like sleep. I like to sleep. I like sleeping. I like having slept. Two of my favorite times of the day are falling to sleep and first waking. People who say “they’ll sleep when they’re dead,” are missing out on one of life’s pleasures. To me, that’s like saying, I’ll have sex when I’m…
