TToT – Wants, Needs, and Practicality

It is not always possible to do or get what you want. Sure, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? To be able to do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it? To be able to have anything you want right when you desire it? Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Maybe. But then…

TToT/FTSF Mashup – For These Things We Are Thankful

It’s Sunday night and my link-up posts aren’t finished. I’ve spent the last several days alternating between wishing I could come up with something terrifically profound and hoping I just get something on the page and completely forgetting that I need to write the thing in the first place. It’s not that I don’t feel…

TToT – We’re Here Already?

I can’t believe it’s the weekend again already. I also can’t believe that Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone, that autumn is now two-thirds past, and we’re heading rapidly toward Hanukkah next weekend and Christmas not far behind. Time moves so fast… What is it that Ferris Bueller said? “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t…

TToT – The Unexpected

I am not a fan of surprises. Surprise parties, unannounced visitors, restaurant servers gathered around my table singing an unenthusiastic birthday song while I sit in my seat wearing a sombrero and smiling awkwardly at a cupcake holding a flaming sparkler? Not my thing. But as I get older – and I hope wiser – I’m…

TToT – Finding My Groove…and Peace

Wow. Just wow. Well, I muddled through OctPoWriMo – sorta. I somehow anticipated having more time, producing more words, posting more posts…then life happened. I even missed a TToT or two which I truly never do. And now, here we are a week into November and NaNoWriMo I’m feeling a bit like I’m trying to climb a very…

TToT – A Bit of Progress

I skipped the TToT link-up last weekend. I never do that. It wasn’t for lack of intent or even lack of things for which to be thankful. It was simply the result of circumstance. So this week I have plenty to add. Mostly I think I’ve found many ways to acknowledge small bits of progress (remember…

TToT – My People

There’s a lot going on around here right now. The in-real world is pretty stressful and demanding right now and I’d be lying if I said I’m handling with anything close to finesse. I’m not. I’m exhausted. I’m not sleeping. My eczema is springing up like crazy. I’m getting pimples – and that’s ridiculous. I…

TToT – The Last Long Weekend

Friday evenings hold something glorious and exciting. But when Thursday is the new Friday and the weekend is four days long? That first evening of the weekend is even more thrilling. We’ve had quite a few long weekends since the Hub only had to go into work Tuesdays through Thursdays all summer. So here we…

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…
