We’ve come to the end of the long and winding road

Posted on: Saturday, May 31st, 2008 in: May Blogathon, What? It's Saturday. You expected something better?

Today is the last day of the May blogathon, and it happens to coincide with Corny Cliche Saturday. How appropo.
But don’t think of this as the end. It’s really the start of something new.
We may never pass this way again, but today is the first day of the rest of our lives.
‘Tis better to have […]

About that thick skin…

…we are supposed to develop as writers:
I don’t want it.

There are two blogs I’ve been putting off only because I’ve been extremely busy and I know once I really take the time for more than a cursory visit, I’ll want to spend hours exploring them.
Fit in Real Life is a blog written by Dara Chadwick. In 2007, Dara was the Weight-Loss Diary columnist for […]

This is your brain on blogs…

Posted on: Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 in: May Blogathon

Blogging might trigger the release of dopamine according to Jessica Wapner’s article, “Blogging — It’s Good For You”, published this month in Scientific American.
The combined benefits of expressive writing and being a part of a blogging community have prompted some hospitals to include blogging in their supportive care for cancer patients.
No wonder I’ve been feeling so… healthy […]

Back to work.

Vacation’s over. If you read my earlier post, you know I’m getting ahead on my assignments so I can spend most of the summer doing fun and educational things with my daughter. The only catch is that first I actually need to complete those assignments.
We’re trying something new today. My soon-to-be 2nd grader and I […]

Happy Memorial Day

Posted on: Monday, May 26th, 2008 in: May Blogathon

This weekend, our local lakes turn into small cities with as many as 50,000 people out camping and boating. Aside from the rough weather we’ve had in the evenings, it’s been a beautiful weekend for it.
Not willing to risk life and limb out at the lake, my family is spending a quiet day at home. We’ll […]

Oh, c’mon. It’s a holiday… almost.

Posted on: Friday, May 23rd, 2008 in: May Blogathon

Back in September of last year, I won Linda Formichelli’s Tom Swifty contest. (The accolades, the prestige!)  Actually, it was a heckuva lot of fun and I got a copy of The Renegade Writer’s Query Letters That Rocked, which is a very helpful book to have if you want yours to rock too. (Some of them […]

My dirty little secret: I like to clean.

Posted on: Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 in: May Blogathon

Cleaning makes me feel good.
Wait. Before you label me a neatnik and click away in disgust, you must know this: I am not a neatnik. Actually I quite like letting a thin layer of filth build up before I clean. (Maybe “filth” is too strong a word. Let’s call it debris.) It makes wiping it […]

Yay, I’ve made Jane’s blog!

Posted on: Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 in: May Blogathon

Jane Boursaw writes the Film Gecko blog for B5 Media. She reviews movies and television shows and gives behind-the-scenes info on celebrities. I appreciated her review on the movie Prince Caspian, since it was one we thought about taking our daughter to see. But after reading Jane’s review, I think we’ll opt for lighter fare. (Jane recommends it […]

Need more coffee, but I’ll post anyway.

This blogging everyday thing is hard. Not because I can’t think of what to write but because there’s so much I could.
Yesterday at the grocery store, I tried to find pine nuts. In case you’re also going to make Tyler’s Ultimate pork chops with wild rice pilaf, let me help you out: The pine nuts […]
