YeahWrite #403 Weekly Writing Challenge is Open for Popular Voting
Easing into 2019 I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve doing whatever made you happy. I had to go to a party at the last minute (I'm an extrovert but not a late-night person so parties are never my choice for NYE) but luckily it was not a crowd we are entrenched...
Blank you, you blanking blankity-blank
Building Blocks December was the season of gifting, and boy did I end up getting a lot of building-themed presents for the kids in my life. Whether you’re working with Legos or Minecraft, it’s still popular to make big things out of little things – and then, um, make...

Squad Goals Remember what babes in the woods we all were at the beginning of 2018? I think I may actually have dared 2018 to "COME AT ME." It did. Now that we're at the nub end of the year, I'm bowing in supplication to 2019, that it might be kinder and gentler than...

Last Call for 2018 Votes! As far as late December goes, it's not terribly cold here in New England, or at least not in Massachusetts. I had to change out of my PJs on Christmas Day to hike with my dogs and it was mid-30s and sunny, which is about all I can ask for...

Storm Before the Calm I'm about to have a week off and whew boy does that sound good. Ok, ok, I don't work in an office anymore. But when kids are off and the husband is off, it's like a vacation for me too. All next week, I can lounge around in pajamas and generally...

Faking it Today at work someone asked me to edit an essay on the new technology scientists use. It was written by a well-respected archaeologist. I just kind of marveled at that for a minute. Well, actually, the first feeling I crashed into was Imposter Syndrome. You...
