In 2011 IMA gonna post at least once a week. Have I blown that already? Well I missed on week, but I posted twice the following week, so I consider myself caught up. Yep, at least once a week. Why? Because I like writing and I like the folks I’ve …
Week of January 30th -February 5th We’ve had a lot of snow days this week. A dump of ice and 5 or more inches of snow. I’ve spend a lot of time with the Bean in bed playing on http://www.coolmath.com and curled up with my kindle and the kitties. …

Our daughter is named after her. My mother played her onstage when I was about 2 or 4 and they figured out I was smart because I started reciting huge swathes of dialogue after going to rehearsal. Well, smart or able to memorize. It’s winter and I’m… moody. Unsettled, disjointed. …

December 30 – Gift Prompt: Gift. This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What’s the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year? (Author: Holly Root) I’ve really run out of steam on these. I think because I started with nablopomo the first of November. This …
December 29 – Defining Moment Describe a defining moment or series of events that has affected your life this year. (Author: Kathryn Fitzmaurice) I’m starting to wonder if Reverb 10 is all I thought it would be. I hoped it would connect me with other folks on the web. For …

DECEMBER 26 – SOUL FOOD What did you eat this year that you will never forget? What went into your mouth & touched your soul? (Author: Elise Marie Collins) Well that would be recently. When we went to The Bean’s best friend’s house because her parents invited us. I’m …
