Celebrate Christmas with Love...
Where to start...
This time last year I took the whole month of December off from blogging. I did this advent thing that was more trouble than it was worth.
I actually thought about doing it again this year, but remembered how hard it was to get back into writing at the first of the year. I also feel like I really never got my mojo back.
So I'm just treating this post like it's double dutch and jumping right in.
Judge a book by its cover!
I'm reaching out to you and all of my social media connections to choose the cover for my next book. I've chosen a short "Age 6" Christopherism to represent two title choices.
Thank you in advance for participating in this short survey! Your response is totally anonymous.
Guess WHO?
SEO won't give a crap about the WHO in my title, but WHO cares. I've got a little story to share with ya!
A Cure for Writer's Cramp...
Prologue: Daddy and I were riding in the car on the way out of town to shoot a Marine Corps Ball. He said, "I've got some blog topics to help you with your writer's cramp."
The day the earth stood still...
I have an affliction with benefits. When I am anxious, I clean. When I am procrastinating, I clean. I'm not a neat freak but between anxiety and procrastination, stuff is clean around here. If I am unable to clean, you'll find something else ridiculously organized. Sometimes in the process, I mess up stuff...
Facebook always has the backstory...
I stewed about what I could write today just to get my feet wet in blogging again but I came up with nothing. Then something happened to put the icing on the backstory cake.
Stacked and Undefeated!
We had an awesome season, with awesome coaches and therefore awesome players. We were beating a team for the third time. We were stronger, better and faster. I made an agreement with myself that I was going to be a good sport (football mom) and stop wishing all these weeks away, just so I could get to the next thing and get that over with. I had my eye on the October 26th prize. But as we started winning and winning and winning and winning, I said, "Ut oh, what does this mean?"...
I just want to be with my writing...
How do I loathe thee, let me count the ways...
My day today didn't get off on the right foot. Nothing went as planned. I am sitting in the car at football practice as I write this post. It's raining and it is a swampy 79 degrees. It's Tuesday Ten and National Pet Peeves week and I get to whine about 10 things.
10 Quotes to Love...
Linking up with Tuesday Ten, where the prompt was to link up quotes that you like, that make you laugh, or that inspire you. I've done all three.
Tuesday Ten is a weekly link-up hosted by Lisa of The Golden Spoons and Rabia of The Liebers.
Love & Hardship...
An anniversary tribute to my mom and dad. When I look at my parents, then and now, I'm in awe of their love, hardship and endurance. I am so glad they've been my roles models - for better and for worse.

Breadcrumbs to 10 Random Stories...
I am linking up with Tuesday Ten where the prompt is to pick ten numbers between 1-100, then go here and answer the questions that correspond with the numbers you chose or, just choose 10 questions from the list to answer.
How to Get Away with Murder...
Once upon a time in the marriage of my youth, I tried to kill my husband.
One day I was buying groceries and I said to myself, "I can't do this anymore." Enough is enough right?
