The other day I traveled to Boston for work. The flight itself was (amazingly) uneventful, but once I arrived to Logan Airport in Boston, I had FIVE hours to kill as I waited for the auditor’s flight to arrive. You might ask "What does one do for 5 hours at the Boston Logan International Airport?… Continue reading 5…4…3…2…1… Hours at the Airport
It’s Been A Rough Day
Side Note: On the day I wrote this I already had another blog written and ready to go; so this is not actually about last night, but the moral of the story is the same. "Ugh. It's been a rough day," I said to my mom as I was driving home for work at 9:50 last… Continue reading It’s Been A Rough Day
Authors I Love – Ann M. Martin
“Who is your favorite author?” It is a question I get asked a lot, especially once I’ve told someone how much I love to read. I usually respond with a name, but if I’m being honest, that name changes depending on what I’m reading at the moment. It can be near impossible to pick a… Continue reading Authors I Love – Ann M. Martin
The Struggle is Real
I love writing. I love creating these worlds in my head and characters that I instantly fall in love with. I can write character profiles and the beginning of a story all day every day. But in order to be able to share these worlds and characters with other people, they need to have an… Continue reading The Struggle is Real
Spreading a little kindness
One of the things I've been working on in my life is to try to be kinder; both to myself and to others. I recently set a goal of trying to say or do something nice to/for someone else every day. Yesterday I invited my friend Mary on a picnic lunch. It had been a… Continue reading Spreading a little kindness
About those Pickles
Guys. The other day while looking for some foods I could take with me on an outing event, I came across a product that advertised itself as “the portable pickle.” To put it nicely, I was intrigued. This had to be investigated. The product “Munchies” by Mt. Olive is basically a resealable bag of pre-sliced… Continue reading About those Pickles
The Best Gift Ever
While I was considering ideas for the blog, one of the things I decided I wanted to do was use a monthly writing prompt... moving forward, this shall be known as "Writing Prompt Wednesday"! I'm very excited about this! What was the best gift you’ve ever received? As I was browsing the internet, trying to… Continue reading The Best Gift Ever
It’s official!
As some of you may know, my birthday is next month. This year, as a present to me, I decided I would take a little mini-vacation for my birthday. I decided on Chicago (although I almost changed my mind when I realized how much the hotel/parking was going to cost *nervous giggle*), and a visit… Continue reading It’s official!
The Lost Poem
The other day, in an attempt to buckle down and work on my short stories, I pulled an old notebook out of the closet to use for some outlines. The front page of the notebook contained lyrics for a song I had written about 3 years ago. I'm not sure if it is very good as poetry… Continue reading The Lost Poem
Jellyfish and Other Thoughts from the Tennessee Aquarium
This is the first blog in the "Thoughts from Places" category. It is an idea I 100% stole from Vlogbrothers, because I sincerely enjoy their "Thoughts from Places" videos (and I am a proud nerdfighter). Although, to be honest, theirs are better and you should probably check them out on YouTube. 🙂 Whenever I travel, I… Continue reading Jellyfish and Other Thoughts from the Tennessee Aquarium
