What are three (3) pet peeves that you have? I hate it when people chew with their mouths open. Nobody wants to listen to you eat, dude. I can’t stand it when people criticize books they haven’t...

NoJoMo 26
Write about three (3) people you’re thankful for. Appropriate, as it’s American Thanksgiving today. I opened a bottle of wine earlier when I started cooking, and I may be asleep before 9pm at thi...
NoJoMo 25
What is your favorite joke? It’s visual - a meme meant to make SF geeks lose their ever-loving minds. I’ve never learned how to post pictures here, so I’ll describe it and you can google it if y...

(I’m using yesterday’s prompt because I do like it!) What are ten (10) things you are grateful for? 1 - My husband. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea - he can be brash and loud and he’s never afrai...
NojoMo 21*update
I’m not doing the prompt today. My mom fell down twice this week, and this morning she fell down a third time and was not able to get up so the nursing home is transferring her to the hospital an...

Write about your favorite thing to do on a lazy day. Eat good food, read good books, and sit on a comfortable couch in comfortable clothes snuggling a dog or two. What can I say, I’m in to the s...

What is your favorite quote right now? Why? “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-t...
NoJoMo 15
Do you change your mind easily? I can be persuaded with a strong enough argument, but I’m also ornery and stubborn and tend to stick to my guns. So, I guess not. But I can’t stand conflict, and ...

Write about your tattoos and what they mean, if anything. I’ll start at my feet and go up. On my left foot is a tribal tattoo of a hummingbird. It’s a memorial piece for my good friend from high...
NoJoMo 8
Write about what irrationally annoys you the most. Today it’s Trump hysterics and Q-Anon nonsense, but that’s not exactly irrational. Seriously, I’m so relieved that our national nightmare is c...
NoJoMo 7
What was your favorite book from your childhood? I adored the Chronicles of Narnia. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was my absolute favorite. I still enjoy those books, though the over the top al...
