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 …
Do you vote in political elections? I didn't start taking a vested interest in politics until my late 20's. Even then, I didn't really do my homework. I listened to my coworkers banter back and forth about their political views and I read the "CliffsNotes" that local news outlets posted about the debates. I based …
What gives you direction in life? For the longest time, "the pursuit of happiness" has been my compass. What equated to "happiness", exactly, depended on where I was in my life. Happiness looked like a lot of different things over the years. I chased love over counties, countries, and sometimes continents, all in the pursuit …
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 …
Have you ever been camping? Today's 'Daily Prompt' brought a smile to my face reminiscing, so I thought I would share... I have a strong suspicion my family lineage has more than a few gypsies sprinkled throughout. 'Roughing' it, cooking outdoors, and spinning tales around a blazing fire well into the night comes natural to …
For years, I experienced numerous medical "complications". Think autoimmune, without the official title. About once a year, when the hives, swollen face, fatigue, and other symptoms became too much for me to handle, I would walk into my primary care physician's office with a list of issues, only for him to smirk at my concerns, …
Good morning, fellow Bloggers! We're a dying breed, aren't we? With shorts and reels and stories, less and less written content is being published. I hate it. Don't get me wrong, some of the content I come across is severely entertaining. Some videos are inspiring and persuasive, some have encouraged me to book travel, some …
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 …
