Today’s Bloganuary post is: How do you show love? I’m not sure I show love the way everyone would prefer I show it. I’m not big on public displays of affection, for example, or even a lot of private displays of affection, although I am a hugger.  But I am sure that I love big, […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What’s a lie you tell yourself? I don’t tend to lie to myself about things. I’m pretty realistic most of the time. And even when I do try to lie to myself, I know it’s a lie. I know what the reality actually is. But I suppose if I must answer […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What was your dream job as a child? I didn’t think much about adulthood as a kid. I spent a lot of time reading, absorbing, and learning, but I didn’t wonder how any of that would translate into a method of making money in the future. I was content with just […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: Who is your favorite author and why? There are quite a few authors who have written many good books that I’ve enjoyed. People like James Patterson, Jonathan Kellerman, David Baldacci, Dan Brown, Lisa Gardner, and Harlan Coben spring to mind.  And then there’s Anne Rice. She’s the only author whose books […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What irritates you about the home you live in? I love everything about my home. There is absolutely nothing that irritates me about it. Two years ago, I was lucky enough to find my dream home. (My realistic dream home. I mean, it’s not a castle on a private island, after […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What color describes your personality and why? My first reaction to this prompt was to write about my favorite colors, but that wouldn’t necessarily answer the question. Maybe one of my fave colors describes my personality but maybe not. I decided to take an online color personality test. Of course, I’m […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What’s your favorite meal to cook and/or eat? I don’t have a favorite meal I like to cook. I do have two recipes here on my site for dishes that Gail likes me to make. But I’d rather share one of my favorite meals to eat rather than cook. I say […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: Describe the happiest day of your life. October. Just a few months after Obergefell v. Hodges, requiring states to license and recognize same-sex marriage, I married the woman of my dreams. And that wedding…oh let me assure you, we definitely did it OUR WAY.  We’re old hippies at heart, you see. […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? I could probably think of many smells that evoke memories, some good, some bad. (Bad = Bourbon St. on any given night). But the one good smell that brings back great memories would have to be the smell of a mess […]

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What fear have you conquered? I drive around the parking lot several times. There’s a spot available not too far out, but it’s in the shadows, so I continue circling until someone under a street lamp leaves. I pull into the spot, gather my things, place my car keys between my […]
