What is one recipe you’d like to attempt before the end of the year? One of my coworkers showed me a recipe yesterday for a type of holiday cookie that I’ve never made, but it looks delicious and...
Do you get up right away when your alarm goes off or do you hit the snooze button? My phone is my alarm, and I literally have to keep it plugged in on the opposite side of the room because if I d...
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...
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...
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...
What are five core beliefs that guide your life? This is an interesting one, because I rarely attempt to quantify my morality. I suppose if I had to pick five things, it would be these: 1 - Be st...
How do you deal with compliments? I’m trying to be better about that. I used to be like, “Thanks, but really it’s nothing,” or just dodge them altogether, but now I typically say thank you and t...
Today’s prompt is “make a bulleted list of your day”. I just can’t bore you all with the details of my routine when I am so bogged down with anxiety about election results. I’m in despair, I real...
I’m going to go ahead and get back on track. Might as well! Do you feel anonymous online? Why or why not? Haha not really. Maybe I did in the beginning, and I still try to maintain some level o...
Yes, it’s late. I told you I’m bad at these things. Plus 11/2 is never a fun day for me, it’s the anniversary of my dad’s death…so anyway, here’s this: What are your top five (5) favorite movie...
What are three (3) things you would do if you weren’t afraid? I don’t think of myself as a terribly frightful person, but there are a few things that scare the ever-living crap out of me. I don’...
NoJoMo prompts in 2020
I’ve never successfully completed either NoJoMo or NaNoWriMo, but I’m going to try this year. I shamelessly stole this list of prompts from KissOfLife! 1) What are three (3) things you would do ...
Preparing for the apocalypse in 2020
I grew up in Miami, which means for the most part tropical weather doesn’t scare me. It’s just rain and wind, and not even that much of either before it gets up here to North Georgia - but Hurri...
Still October in 2020
Sophie is going back to physical school on Monday. She prepped her backpack today, and is very excited. I am also very excited, she hasn’t been out of the house unless she went somewhere with m...
Food Survey in 2020
What’s the last thing you ate? Peanut butter M&Ms What’s your favourite cheese? Brie, especially with really good bread What’s your favourite fish? I’m not a big fan of fish. I do love sushi...
If I have to quit my job to sit on my 13 year old to make her do her schoolwork, I am going to be REALLY FUCKING ANGRY. Oh wait, I’m already pretty mad. Last week, I started getting emails fr...
School etc. in 2020
It’s supposed to be DragonCon weekend, so I’m having a sad. I did see that some people on the DragonCon Reddit were proposing a pub crawl downtown, but I think that’s a spectacularly bad idea an...
Frustrated in 2020
Online school is a series of exercises in frustration. I feel like I can’t complain anywhere but here - every time I say something people are like, “We have to support the teachers!” and “The sy...
My work schedule has changed. Instead of working two full days and two half days, I’m going to work three full days for the forseeable future - Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 10-6. I’m ...
Not surprising in 2020
Online school, day one: school district website crashes as all high school students log in for their first class at 8am. Sigh.
I’m officially the parent of two teenagers now. Good lord. We celebrated last night, or at least we tried to - she wanted sushi for dinner, so I ordered Uber Eats and the delivery person dropped...
Dogs in recovery in 2020
Two of our four weren’t spayed, so we remedied that last week. They had the surgery on Friday, I questioned the wisdom of doing them at the same time but it needed done and we figured we might as...
I’m an insecure weirdo. If I’m not being given attaboys on a fairly consistent basis, I automatically assume something is wrong and something dire is about to happen. This affects me in multiple...
Virtual School in 2020
I was really not excited when our county’s school board made the decision to go all virtual last week. We’ve done virtual school before - my kids were enrolled in a virtual school for the 2018-1...
