YOU WOULD CRY TOO: A TOP TEN LIST
I’m not a professional home renovator. I’m not even a particularly good DIY-er. So please don’t get the wrong idea by any of the following. It’s all in good fun, to slog along with my slow house progress, see here, here, and here. If there is one thing I’ve learned about home renovation it’s thatContinue reading “YOU WOULD CRY TOO: A TOP TEN LIST”
ROLE MODELS: A TOP TEN LIST
I think we can all agree how wonderful and talented Stephen King is. If you can’t, I’m pretty sure you’ve stumbled onto the wrong website. For those who do agree, I think it’s evident that he can create beloved characters – Stu, Franny, Ben, Bev, Danny, Jake, etc. However, he is just as likely toContinue reading “ROLE MODELS: A TOP TEN LIST”
Guidance Counseling: A Top Ten List
(To be quite honest, I am totally stumped as to this week’s top ten prompt as hosted by The Broke and the Bookish – I’ve already done settings I’d like to see more of, things I avoid, and topics I want more of – so you get the following instead. I am so sorry.) IContinue reading “Guidance Counseling: A Top Ten List”
The Anticipation Is Killing Me: A Top Ten List
I’m too tired this week to come up with anything remotely amusing for this week’s list introduction. So I’ll leave it at this: I hate anticipation. Whoever said anticipation is the purest form of pleasure lied. Who likes to wait? Or be surprised? Or not know something? I can assure you it’s not me. PatienceContinue reading “The Anticipation Is Killing Me: A Top Ten List”
2014: A Top Ten List
2013 was a bit of a mixed bag for me. There were parts that were very good and there were several that were…less so. I’ve spent the year trying to remember that I can’t control everything. I’ve also had to accept that some things just were not meant to happen (and to ignore all ofContinue reading “2014: A Top Ten List”
Best Books of 2013
This week’s top ten list: Best (fiction) Books of 2013 (as hosted by The Broke and The Bookish). I decided to change things up a little bit and do a video/vlog (that word is ridiculous) to accompany my post. I couldn’t come up with a tenth book, but let’s pretend I did. As always, beContinue reading “Best Books of 2013”
Dear Santa, Define Naughty…: A Top Ten List
This week’s top ten list happens to coincide with Christmas Eve, so what better topic to explore than the books I wish to see under the tree tomorrow morning. And I will see them there, right Santa*? I haven’t been this angelic all year just for fun. 10. East of Denver by Gregory Hill 9.Continue reading “Dear Santa, Define Naughty…: A Top Ten List”
Thankful: A Top Ten List
I debated whether to take this week’s list seriously or not. I debated even participating (it was not a good day, it involved a broken appliance). The prompt? Things I’m thankful for. I can assure you, at this moment, that my washer is not one of them. But otherwise I’m thankful for a lot ofContinue reading “Thankful: A Top Ten List”
