Have you ever broken a bone? I made it into my late 20s unscathed, which is amazing considering how utterly reckless I am. Er, was. What's the saying? Go big or stay home? My first broken bone(s), I went big. I was dating a guy who thought he was a country boy. He asked me …
I missed the past few daily prompts. I started several drafts but couldn't connect the mental dots into anything logical at the time. So, in Draft Land they will stay. I'll give you a quick recap, though, because the irony is not lost on me. On Thursday, the prompt was "what is the last live …
What do you do to be involved in the community? Short answer? I don't. There's a reason we bought a little piece of property off the beaten path. I hide in my Utopian domicile, the majority of the time. I don't like getting involved. People are messy. Yeah, yeah... enough with the side eye. I'm …
What's a job you would like to do for just one day? Muwhahahahaha <evil laugh> For one day only, I'd like to be the CEO of a major television news media outlet. Or the News Director. Whoever decides what airs. And it would be my day, my rules. The news station would ONLY be allowed …
What are your favorite brands and why? I've never been too concerned with brand names. If something fits, if it tastes good, if it works - I like it.

This morning, I decided to make myself a cup of tea. I always keep this delicious Gunpowder Green Jasmine on hand. It's glorious. The pea-sized BBs unfurl into full-sized tea leaves at the bottom of your mug, delicately infusing the water with soft notes of jasmine. Doesn't that just sound like a hug in a …
My family and I recently booked a trip to Mexico for this upcoming fall. The resort we selected is known for their overabundance of events, activities, and top-notch dining. If my husband and I won't be drinking during this trip, I want to be entertained, dammit, and fed to my heart's content. I want to …
I'm tired, ya'll. Not in the COVID, work, family, life-tired kind of way. It's more of a self-induced, stretching myself thin. Social media is amazing. It promotes. With the right tag, it can launch your words to thousands of different people from every walk of life. If you have more than one platform? It gets …
5:45. Lying in bed during one of those precious moments of in between, not asleep but not quite fully awake, I sensed a movement next to the bed. As I began to get my bearings, I realized that it was none other than Jesse the Cat. At 5:45 in the morning. Full-on psycho mode, bounding …
Happy Anniversary to ViCARIously Speaking! When I received the notification that my domain was automatically renewed, I figured that I must write a celebratory post. It’s hard to believe I’ve been doing “this” for over five years now. And yes, I use the word “this” loosely. The past couple of years my efforts have amounted …
