Day 6: I Vote For…

…Chocolate. And coffee. Mix them together if you want. That’s fine by me. What? Did you really think I was going to tell you who I voted for? No way, Buddy. I like to keep my politics hush, hush. I don’t get to keep… Continue Reading “Day 6: I Vote For…”

Day 5: Half Way

Day 3: Sugar

Today is the third day of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). You can read a little more about it here. This morning, I realized the beauty of scheduling a write-your-novel-in-a-month for November. It is ever so “conveniently” right after Halloween. Candy is super cheap… Continue Reading “Day 3: Sugar”

What’s Your Story — The Mullet and The Feline

I’m not too proud to tell you that in 1998, I got a mullet. Yup. You got that right. The short, feathered hair in the front, long and wavy in the back. Let me explain. I got dumped. But that’s not the story. The… Continue Reading “What’s Your Story — The Mullet and The Feline”
