Things I Like

2015-07-08 13.18.58It’s another list today. Why? Well, because I’ve been reading Things We Like I think it’s pretty cool. Also? I’m in the midst of revising not one, but two WIPs, and my brain is a little fried. Also also? Life is crazy right now, and a list of things I like seems like something I can manage.

Short, sweet, and to the point. At least that’s the theory.

So, without further ado, here are some things I like:

  1. Writing. I love to write stories. I love to write poems. I love to write anything and everything under the sun.
  2. Reading. I love books. I loved reading them as a kid, I love reading them now, and I love writing my own.
  3. Music. I used to spend hours playing my flute, but I haven’t practiced regularly in a very long time. I should get back to that.
  4. Photography. I come from a family of shutterbugs. When I was growing up, Grandpa didn’t look quite right unless he had a camera up to his face. My childhood was very well documented, and my children are growing up the same way.
  5. Video editing. I like making home movies out of the many video clips on my phone. It’s a fun way to spend an afternoon, and a great way to look back on things I’ve forgotten.

How about you? What things do you like?

I write because…

nostalgiaI write because…

  1. I have a story to tell.
  2. I want to discover what and how and why I think.
  3. I need an adventure.
  4. I crave an escape.
  5. I can’t not write.

What about you – why do you write?

How’s it going?

Dear blog,

Please to enjoy this cute kitten. :)

Please to enjoy this cute kitten. 🙂

Hi!  How are you?  Lonely?  I’m sorry.  It’s been a long time since I’ve visited, hasn’t it?  I hope that, despite my long absence, you’ve still been having fun and doing all the things.  I didn’t mean to be gone so long – really.  But life happened?  And I’m still trying to get a handle on it all.

It’s been an eventful month.  That’s both good and not-so-good.

Also?  I’ll be back with more stuff real soon.  In the meantime, happy Hump Day!  (Thank God it’s almost over.)

Love,

Moi

How did September treat you?  Are you looking forward to October?  Let’s catch up in the comments!

Seymour had our sandbox filled yesterday as a surprise for the boys.

I haven’t seen them this excited since Christmas. 🙂

What kind of surprises make your kids happy?

I’ve had a headache for a week, and today it’s absolutely kicking my butt.

*sigh*

So in light of that, and the fact that my brain won’t work, here’s a fun picture of my kids in our tractor bucket.

Everyone knows it’s not a party unless you get out the tractor and give the kids a ride, right? 🙂

Hope your day’s going better than mine, and hopefully I’m feeling better tomorrow!
