Alert and Oriented (x4)

Yes, someday I will write an actual post, with actual content. But until then, play along with Lidna at 2nd Cup with this fun meme.... 1. What was the last song you listened to? How to Save a Life by the Fray 2. Have you ever had “buyer’s remorse” over anything? Many times...most often over 'bargain clothing' that turns out to be not such a bargain when it requires complicated underwear, alterations or it just plain doesn't fit. 3. What is something in your life that you are thankful for now that you didn’t think you would be at the time of the event? (Something that seemed ill-timed, inconvenient or hurtful which turned out to be a good thing) When I first saw the house I now live in, I really didn't like it very much. It was about 25 miles from work and had been left vacant for several months. Now the area around it has grown, and I probably wouldn't have met most of my close friends if I lived in another area. Plus, I love my home! 4. Do you watch the Macy’s Tha...

Linda, over at 2nd Cup of Coffee , has the 10th edition of Random Dozen. Come play! 1. It's early morning, about 2:00AM, and you're driving home. You come to a red light and sit there. There is no one in sight for miles around. Do you wait it out or run the light? Probably run it…unless there were one of those pesky red light cameras. 2. If you had the chance to re-do the last 24 hours, would you change anything? I probably should’ve gone to bed earlier. Otherwise, it was a pretty productive day. 3. When you reply to someone's comment on your blog, do you reply in your comments or go to her blog and comment? (Or email her) It depends on how personal the comment was. I’ve been known to do all of the above. I always try to visit the other blog, anyway…and sometimes with Mary from Monkeys are Funny, we have a regular dialog in the comments. p.s. What about him? What if it's a man? 4. Your favorite Disney movie is: Live action? The Parent Trap (old one with Hayley M...

Linda, over at 2nd cup , has her Random Dozen theme meme up again. It's all about Jr. High. Or middle school. I guess it depends on your time era or your part of the country as to what you might call it. Personally, I went to Jr. High in 7th, 8th and 9th grades. Only went to high school for 3 years. I was the last 9th grade class in Jr. High. Then, in all their wisdom, Albuquerque Public schools went to middle school--6th, 7th and 8th grades. Folks: 6th graders don't belong with 8th graders. And 9th graders don't belong with 12th graders. But I digress. Here we go..... 1. Please share one middle school memory. It can be good, bad, ugly, funny. Pictures or words, I don't care, just share. Um, at the 9th grade dance I was walking in and it was REALLY REALLY windy. This was my outfit: (Yes, I wanted to be at the dance. No, I did NOT want my mother to take my picture) My skirt blew up. OVER my head. And completely blinded me. I looked like someone who had...

Lidna at 2nd cup isn’t feeling well, so she posted a meme, or a fill in. It’s nearly 10:40 p.m. in the big city as I type this and wait for my various bulletins and flyers to print off and my eldest to get home from work, so I thought I’d take part in this. Join if you will… What is your writing process?I don’t think I have a process. I think I mostly just sit down and free associate. I’m sure you can see that by reading some of my blogs. Very under-processed. What are your greatest creative inspirations? Watching the way that God orchestrates both the big and little things in my life and the lives of my friends and family. Being out in Creation. And my silly little dog, kids, youth group and family. What are your greatest creative barriers?I feel like most of what I write is so hackneyed that no one would ever waste time reading it. I so badly want to be entertaining and engaging, but feel that most of the time I end up being just sort of…boring. What is your favorite word? I’ve bee...
