This Old House
This Old House This old house rests in obscurity at the elbow, on the narrow dusty road, battle-scarred and war-weary, shutters dangle at the windows, flesh-colored paint peeling, contorting, indifferent, detached curiosity, dismissed, not worth a second glance glimpses of the occupant, a rarity. A second glance is warranted, Oh, look past the pummeled shell […]

What I Like About You
I stumbled across this short piece while putting together a portfolio of my writing at Simpson University, as required for my Senior Seminar course. I penned this after my husband and I parted ways, as a self-soothing, count-your-blessings, find the positive, excerise. What I Like About You Good News! I like you again And […]

It’s Saturday Morning–in Honolulu, USA
I didn’t make my Saturday morning blogging goal by Pacific Time, but hey, it’s Saturday morning in Honolulu. I’ll console myself with that. I’m not really the sort to be happy coming in second place, but I am elated to learn I placed second in our university writing contest. Am I maturing? Maybe, maybe not. […]

Manic Monday
I missed my Saturday morning blog reminder again. I’ve been buried in geometry (gulp) communication ethics, and starting my book for my English course. I’m making headway on that book: title and one paragraph of two sentences. I console my self that it’s a start. On a side note, I accidentally omitted the “o” in […]

Font Nerds
One of the things I enjoy about Brick on the television comedy, “The Middle,” is his love and knowledge about fonts. On “The Goldbergs,” Adam had a font showdown recently. I don’t know why I chuckle at the idea every time, but I do. I’ve concluded that I’m a closet Font Nerd. Surmise this admission […]

Saturday Mornings
I’m here. I’m on pins and needles: reading over syllabuses and textbooks 📚 for the upcoming semester.<<<< On the plus side, only three more semester remaining until I will have completed requirements necessary for that coveted Bachelor’s in English and a minor degree in journalism (provided I survive a full four months of Math.) So here […]

Saturday Morning Blog––I’m here.
With all the horrors in the world, what difference does it make? –– Siggy, What About Bob? * I set my cell phone reminder two or three months ago to blog every Saturday morning. It wasn’t a lofty goal and it seemed very practical at the time. By Saturday evening, I would click complete just […]

Introspections and Cracked Pots
Back in the day, I made a dinner dish that my mother-n-law had dubbed “More Casserole.” With four children and a husband to feed, it became my go-to dish because it was relatively cheap to concoct, and I love preparing one-pot dishes. The crowd was divided in their opinion, mostly because it calls for frozen […]

I Broke With 59-year Tradition
I broke a 59-year tradition by setting up my tree before Thanksgiving. I’m not sure why. But I’m not putting it away until New Year’s Day (I think). Some of my favorite evenings are listening to music by candlelight. Playing as I write: Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s rendition of “Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24″ – my all-time favorite Christmas season […]

Spoiler Alert: A Blog Like Seinfeld –– A Blog About Nothin’
Here goes nothin’––I am just here to blog for blogging’s sake. I’m not writing today to rant or complain, I just want to write. As stated in an earlier blog, one reason for this blog site (such an unflattering word) is for posterity. I think my family will appreciate taking a look at my thoughts […]
