What's your favorite cartoon? Last time I checked, I was a middle aged adult. I don't watch cartoons. I read books about death and watch TV series about zombies, vampires, or other supernatural beings. If we are talking about what cartoons I watched as a child, there are a few that stick out as "favorites": …

Rewind and Replay
What could you do less of? These prompts are starting to sound a little too familiar... didn't I already answer this question? One thing that I wish I could do less of, and has not been covered in another post, is replay certain events and conversations in my mind. I am terrible about analyzing interactions …
End of Year Recap
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? "End of Year Recap" is an exercise my family and I take part in every New Year's Eve!! As we enjoy tasty snacks and each other's company, we take a few minutes to create a list of the previous year's highlights, from …
Snow Freaking White
Do you ever see wild animals? Living where we do, I see wild animals on a near daily basis. We have a bunny who likes to race me up and down the driveway, me in the Challenger, him on his little bunny legs. I let him win, sometimes. Every year, Hades, God of the Underworld …
Sorry, Not Sorry
Share five things you're good at. Let's see... five things I'm good at are taking on too much, putting myself last, being annoyed, worrying, and getting my feelings hurt. Some would say "meddling" should be #1 on this list (sorry, not sorry, Alaina). But, in line with my daily affirmation of "choosing to focus on …
Yoga Pants Make Me Smile
What are your two favorite things to wear? I've been in a funk this past week and the last several daily prompts have either been a.) repetitive, b.) stupid, or c.) too heavy. I've written and wrote, and wrote some more but hesitated to post anything. Today's prompt is easy. My favorite piece of clothing …
Subsurface Mental Engineering
Do you trust your instincts? My instincts and intuition are the only things I trust. I fully accept that I have major trust issues. I'm not exactly sure where they stemmed from. Childhood? Negative experiences with romantic relationships? Life in general, probably. Oh, this is no "whoa is me" post. You won't find me whining …
Park It
What is your favorite place to go in your city? "My city". Hmpf. I wasn't going to answer today's prompt. I don't have a city that I would call "mine". I'm back on my streak, though, so no easy outs. Here we go... I have a city I was born in, but I haven't lived …
Impress This
What's the first impression you want to give people? I'm not concerned about the first impression I give people. I probably should be. Maybe a little effort on my part would make it easier for people to get to know the real "Cari". Let's see.... I guess if I did care, I'd want to exude …
Midnight…
What book are you reading right now? Currently, I'm reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, by John Berendt. First, a plug for Thriftbooks. If you've never used this discount online bookstore, you're missing out. "Acceptable" is always good and you can get a hardback book for around $4.50 USD. I love my …
