Today is the last day of one adventure, and the first day of another (one yet to be determined). Today is Settle in Sunday, the final post in the Week of Words Blog Challenge. While I have rarely had a conventional schedule with traditional “weekends”, because of the culture I grew up in, Sundays have […]
Today’s prompt for the Week of Words Challenge is called Two-fer Tuesday. The challenge is to describe the most amazing deal we have ever gotten in the form of an ad. Me not being much of a materialist, this is a pretty tough challenge for me … partly because I try my best to avoid […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I have been involved in the A to Z Challenge for three years now, and don’t think I have actually successfully finished it yet. I am finally doing my Z post, only a week late. Oh well. I never was known for living according to schedules. But in the spirit of my Z post, I am going […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] This is an ode to the letter Y. An oft maligned letter, I don’t know why. Y is clever, Y is spry. Y can do it all, on the fly. Is Y a consonant? Know not I. Or perhaps a vowel it passes by? It is both, one can not deny. Of letters it is […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How do words come into being? How did a rock become described by the sound “rawk”? Why is wind not wssshhhhhh? Why do words for mother sound similar in many different languages ? Why does a dog say “woof” (actually dogs, and chickens and cows, make different sounds in different parts of the world. Just […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I have seen many wonders in my life. I have imagined many more. Every day I wake up to wonder … the wonder of life itself. When I sleep, my mind wanders in worlds unimaginable, yet they made it into my mind. Humanity is one of the peaks of that wonder. Beyond the incredible combination of […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The odd thing about beginnings is that they are usually the ending of something else. So who knows where this tale truly begins? But for the sake of reference, we will refer to The Beginning as the beginning. And so it begins. The first man to begin at said beginning was known as The First, […]
Since I once again got of schedule in my A to Z Challenge posts, I am going to combine one of them with this week’s 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups post. That way I am not burdening the blogging world with numerous bits o’ silliness and forcing people to evaluate how much they can […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Once again I am doing two in one. Today is R and S. Not decided yet if I will do them both as one, or have two separate posts today. I don’t have a plan of action for a change so am just typing again and seeing where I will end up. Hope you enjoy the ride […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The monster resides within. Quietly it watches. Most moments are just tantalizing bits of motion. Sensations to feed upon. The monster tastes, explores sensation, looking for that … … that ONE! The flavor it seeks! The image that charges it. The sound that chills it. The pain that awakens it. Some monsters watch and wait forever, […]
