That would probably be my entire “On Repeat” playlist. The past several years have been rough and I’ve been working my way through a lot of stuff: a break up, trying to learn more about myself, rediscovering who I am beyond being a mother…. I’ve always loved songs with relatable lyrics and if they are in anyway empowering, that’s also a big plus. The topmost...
I reluctantly slid out of bed this morning after having only snoozed my alarm five times. I wasn’t really ready to start my day yet and was feeling quite unrefreshed. Despite how tired I was, I was definitely way more tired of it repeatedly waking me up every nine minutes! It wore me down. Alarm 1, sleeping in 0. My favorite coffee mug didn’t make it into the dishwasher yesterday, so...
I’m an “Acts of Service” gal, I think. At least that’s who I’ve been for most of my life. I show love by caring about the people I love, doing things for them to (hopefully) make their lives easier and happier. I’ve always been a caretaker, I guess. Part of that has (historically) always been cooking and/or baking. Tweaking recipes to suit their preferences...
One? Oy vey! This is a definitely a prompt that has the potential to get real deep, real fast. I’m going to try to avoid falling into that pit, simply because I’m not sure I have the time today to spiral out of control. At pretty much any given point in time, I’m telling myself at least a half dozen lies. This is especially true because of my anxiety disorders (and owing in part...
Yay! I did it! I got all caught up! This post marks my final Bloganuary Catch Up post. The next Bloganuary prompt I respond to will finally be right on time and all by its lonesome! 🎉 I hope it doesn’t get lonely without a little buddy post… Day Twenty-One: Who is your favorite author and why? There are so, so many talented and fabulous authors out there that I enjoy reading, but I...
Day Nineteen: What color describes your personality and why? Oh, wow! I have no idea. Gray maybe? As in, millions of different shades of? I really don’t know. My favorite color though is purple, specifically a kind of dark, dusty, grayish plummy purple (and shades similar to it) like I have featured on my blog! 😉 Day Twenty: What irritates you about the home you live in? The layout. Okay...
Saturday morning. I hoped to be up on the early side today, like I somehow managed to yesterday. But I stayed up too late. And I also left my watch on the charger last night, so it got to ding-ding-ding forever on the other side of the room until I finally heard it and got up. The doggoes have since been fed and let out, and are now once again happily curled up peacefully slumbering in the living...
Day Seventeen: Describe the happiest day of your life. There isn’t a single “happiest” day of my life, but in the spirit of Bloganuary I will share one of the happiest days of my life: the day I finally finished my degree. The road to my degree was a long and twisty one. It didn’t begin the fall after high school graduation. It was supposed to, but I ended up giving up my...
Day Fifteen: What fear have you conquered? Well, I’m attempting to conquer my fear of sharing my writing by committing to this blog. These Bloganuary questions are helping nudge me along, letting me get a little more comfortable, and definitely helping to establish a more consistent writing habit. Not really sure they are doing much for my general confidence levels yet, but I’m going...
Day Thirteen: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it? Okay, so… a billion dollars is more money than I realistically think I would know what to do with! First, I’d probably pay off my kids’ mortgages and any student and/or vehicle loans they may be carrying at the time. If they didn’t each have a home of their own yet, I’d help them get one. Moderate...
Oh, no! Biographical info? Uhhh... gimme a few minutes to think on it...
