Where is my mind ~ Way out in the water See it swimmin ~Pixies
Well, where is my mind. My mind is on leaving my current job and going to my next one. I can’t say that I’ve got my head in the #reverb11 #resound11 etc game. I wish I did. I wanted too. There are just so many places to visit to find …

it is yet another new beginning
I’m just going to start writing. I’m several days behind. I couldn’t write because what I wanted to write about I’d been asked not to write about. This intersection of work and the internet is a very interesting place. I mean I wasn’t specifically asked not to write in my …

“The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” Bertrand Russell

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct. Carl Jung
While being an adult is all fine and good, there’s something that nourishes the soul when we play and have fun. What’s your favorite kind of play? What do you enjoy about it? When’s the last time you played? Well that’s interesting. I used to play quite a bit more. …

Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times~ Aeschylus
it isn’t that there haven’t been a lot of great prompts, there have been. It isn’t that I haven’t wanted to write on some of them, I have. It’s just that I’m right in the middle of something I can’t actually talk or write anything about until Monday. Because. Oh …

Nope, you can’t make me, no way, no how.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. ~ William Shakespeare
I’ve had an intense week of interviews and I have choices to make. I kinda had a mini meltdown this weekend, where everything I’ve been considering, all the changes I’m looking at hit me. And I was stunned? angry? worried? excited? relieved? I don’t know all five? It takes quite …

There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it~Christopher Morley #resound11 #reverb11
Encapsulate the year 2011 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2012for you? 2010 : Flux 2011: Potent This was from last year. Was it Potent? Yes. And 2010 was in …

I’m just herping and derping around. I’ve messing with my blog plugins. Wondering if I need to change the theme, considering learning how to write a wordpress theme. Except I really like the Steampunk feel to it. I’m thinking about all the things I need to do around the house …

When chill November’s surly blast make fields and forest bare. ~Robert Burns
What is it about November? I can barely stand to read over the previous year’s entries. I’ve been doing Nablopomo since the beginning and it seems each November there is some enormous decision, or some huge situation that demands attention. Inn 2006 things got crazy in the Bean’s preschool and …

A conclusion is the place where you get tired of thinking. Arthur Bloch
It’s one of those days. Days I’m just too tired. I can’t think of what to write, so I’m going to do that thing that I learned to do with kids… I might send them to One Word and get them thinking about one word and writing about it for …

Fangsgiving at the House on Haunted Hill
I cooked for a few hours yesterday and for a few today. I cracked the whip for cleaning and we were eating by almost 5. It wasn’t the most hilarious Fangsgiving we’ve had—some years are more subdued than others—but it was good eats and family. I swear by Alton Brown’s …

Cleanliness is next to impossible!
Better get this up there quick. Getting down to the wire because I/we’ve been cleaning and cooking all day. I swear that child walks around the house with jam on her hands and arms akimbo making a kids high streak around the entire house. Thank god for magic erasers. …
