TToT – The Interim

Unbelievably, here we are at the end of summer. School begins on Monday for Kidzilla, so this is our last weekend of summer freedom. But I still can’t pull my brain away from the thought that summer lasts until Labor Day and this whole back-to-school before Labor Day thing is nonsense. So for the next…

Six Sentence Stories – The Stage Door

“Look, you have the part and you’re wildly talented and everybody knows it so would you please just stop projecting your insecurities onto his behavior and creating a problem where there isn’t one?” “I don’t know…I guess you’re right…but the way he constantly berates me in front of everyone during rehearsals is beyond directing; it’s…

TToT – The Stuff of Distraction

Sometimes I get distracted. Last weekend, I intended to post a second TToT because I had all the things to be thankful for. Then I forgot where I wrote them. I found a draft in my drafts folder. It may or may not be the intended second TToT. Either way, I’m going to snag the couple…

Book Review – Singularity by Helena Hann-Basquiat with Sara Litchfield, Sandy Ramsey, Lizzi Rogers, Hannah Sears

The subject matter of Singularity is not my usual cup of tea. It’s nothing at all like tea. It’s more like you want a nice cup of tea, but the only thing available to drink is vodka. So you drink the vodka, expecting to feel fire as it washes over your palate and burns its way…

Book Review – P.O.W.E.R. by Lisa A. Kramer

TToT – Friends

Know that song? The one about getting by with a little help from your friends? Well here you go…take a listen and I’ll do the TToT thing for you. Yep, this is the Joe Cocker Woodstock performance. Crazy. Love. I’ll tuck the Beatles in at the end for you, too. You’re welcome. This week, I am…

TToT – Hiatus

Apparently, I’m on hiatus. Not even kidding. Look back at my blog calendar since June and you will see a significant lack of posting. The TToT still makes it in each week, but lately that’s about it. Oh, I have ideas…loads of them. Drafts, too. Half-written, abandoned, “meh, nobody will want to read this” kind…

TToT – Goodbye, July!

It has been a long and crazy month. But in a good and happy way. Most of our activity was centered on Kidzilla’s activity schedule and our little girl has been on the go! She has gained so much from these last few weeks and I think it’s safe to say that we have as…
