Video Skills for the Win: Yes, You Really Can!
22 Takes Later…. So, I’m learning the ins and outs of recording video…. video blogging? vlogging? Whatever you call it, seems I’ll need a bit more practice….. LOL Wanna see what happens when you forget your name, do an (unplanned) Fonzie impression, and…. you’re recording the ceiling?! Oh, and your sweater and coffee cup don’t match!? Holy moly!

The Counting Game….
chicken Crystal Light cat food coffee creamer Creating my list for a quick stop at the grocery store is a mental game for me: Make a mental list. Repeat it a few times out loud. Count the items. Keep the numbered items in my head. Enter the store. Go to it! I’m sure people wonder why I have a quizzical look on my face as I stand between aisles. Actually, who am I fooling? They aren’t paying any attention to me. They’ve got their own lists and looks. I wonder: Are they playing the counting game, too? Yesterday I added Chobani yogurt, celery, and cheddar popcorn to the cart {bonus!}. Seemed to be a C…

I’m Not Creative! So Said She (or He)
Remember when you were little and had that GIANT box of Crayola crayons and endless sheets of blank white paper? Remember how carefree and happy you felt as you drew purple elephants, orange grass, and places no one had ever seen? What happened? For most of us, being creative is a distant memory, and depending on where you’re reading this blog post, you may or may not be tapped into your own creativity any more… you know, that rush to draw and paint and write with abandon… Why aren’t we all there? Why do adults lose that sense of carefree happiness that comes from creating? Why do adults eliminate creating/making from their…

Rusty Butt….
It’s Friday and my brain has been buzzing all week… with all sorts of things. Wanted to share one this morning, before I head out the door for the ‘day gig.’ 🙂 I say that with affection… I love what I do! I recently finished reading fellow blogger, medical doctor, and author Carrie Rubin’s novel, Eating Bull. It, along with a post she recently shared, along with my own food and image issues, have all been on my mind. I look forward to sharing my review of her book (highly recommend) with a little of my own story (real life) thrown in for perspective. Until then, though, thought I’d throw a…

Sunday Funnies… {Why Yes, I AM Hot!}
Soooo….. it’s currently 98 degrees outside and 89 degrees inside. The “Maytag Man” paid us a visit this morning after our a/c bit the dust late last night. O.M.G. That pretty much sums things up today…. Nothing funny happening. (but I’ve gotta find a little humor, somehow) As the technician spoke with my husband about air conditioning and keeping the house cool (a whole new unit being installed tomorrow …. yes, as in neither today nor tonight), I sized him up and figured he was – or has been – a husband – and would get the words that were getting ready to come out of my mouth: I’m a near-50-year-old woman and air…

Sunday Funnies… {National Doughnut Day}
A well known (by some) annual event took place Friday…. did you participate? Do you know what it was? Don’t worry if you didn’t know, but here’s a heads-up for next year: The first Friday in June is known as National Donut Day in the United States. Which brings us to another idea to consider… Is it doughnut or donut? This week’s Sunday Funnies share a little humor and a little history to help put a smile on your face. Here goes…. Seems ‘doughnut’ is the original term, but by the late 20th century, it had morphed into ‘donut’ – due in large part, the story goes, to the growth of Dunkin’ Donuts. Curious? You can read more [here]. Whichever…

Sunday Funnies… {Stupid Drivers}
Here’s a short Sunday Funny, evening edition. After two weekends of highway travel, I thought I’d rant with some funnies. I suspect some many of us will relate….. 😉 Stupid drivers, do us all a favor and get OFF the road!! This concludes this evening’s rant. 😉

Sunday Funnies… {Newspaper #FAILs}
Do you ever notice what I like to call ‘textual mishaps’ when you’re reading something (including blogs… maybe even this one once in a while…oops!)? I sure do. Often, when I’m driving. Business signs are the best…. sometimes on purpose (GREAT marketing technique) and sometimes not on purpose (low literacy/no proofing = problematic marketing). In fact, I saw one the other day I’m saving for a future post. Meantime, here are a few textual mishaps, found in newspapers….. Happy Sunday! 🙂
