Friday Favorites on Thursday Night

Call me a rebel. I realized I haven’t done a Five Friday Favorites in about forever, so I’m tossing one up right now. On Thursday. No fuss, no ado, just five down and dirty favorites of the moment as they fall out of my head. Right. Now. Here they are.

Focus – Removing Distractions

I have been thinking so much about my One Word for 2014 – Focus. My main task right now is to figure out how to take that word and turn it into an umbrella underneath which I have smaller sections, if you will, to work on. This is way harder than I thought it would…

Soup of the Week – Snow Day Stew Edition

I know. It’s not soup, it’s stew. And it’s not the soup I made today, either. (Yes, that one’s coming, too. Promise.) I actually made this stew on our first snow day of 2014. It just seemed like the right thing to do. The signs were all there. First, I read this post by Phyllis over…

Read Any Good Books Lately?

I can’t resist a good questionnaire or survey. Ever. I’ve seen this A to Z book survey about fifty times or more in e-mail forwards over the years, and about that many on various blogs. Eventually, I cracked and figured I’d jump on board and give it a whirl. This was so much fun! Join…

TToT – Warm-Up and Move Forward Edition

So I go hog-wild last weekend and post not one but TWO TToT lists and then… …a very lame Wordless Wednesday (which does indeed have a whole lot of words)… …and nothing else. I have so many drafts in my drafts folder and I am quite excited to finish and post them, but all sit unfinished…

Worst Wordless Wednesday Ever

So, I promised Lizzi I’d post a video of a song I mentioned in comments somewhere the other day. It’s from the play Pippin and it’s a snappy little tune called “Spread a Little Sunshine.” And there should be a video for Lizzi to watch right… …here. But there is no video. Because for the first…

TToT Part Two – A Day with My Daughter

This is a first-ever event, friends. I’m linking up with TToT for a second list this weekend! I’ve seen others do it and wondered, “How in the world do they have two whole lists in that short a time?” Some weeks I have to really stretch my brain to get the first list finished. But…

TToT – Getting the Year Started Edition

Happy 2014 and welcome to the first TToT for the year! In an effort to get to a movie I am most thankful for having received as a Christmas gift, I am dispensing with any sort of crafty and witty introduction. I’ve got popcorn to pop, people. And yes, I’m counting that movie gift up…

What’s the One Word?

I’ve been thinking a lot about my One Word for 2014 – Focus. (Just to get this out of my brain, I have to admit that saying that I’m going to focus on having more Focus is really messing with my head. OK, let’s try to move on.) I chose this for my One Word in 2013. I may…

First Word of 2014

Hello, friends. Welcome to 2014! I’m not quite ready to dive into my new year of posting just yet – I’ve still got some thinking to do. But I am ready to commit to my One Word for 2014 so I can at least put that out there – mostly for me, but if it…
