Bookish Destinations

What are your future travel plans? My husband had initially been talking about going to one of the best beaches in the world for our 20th wedding anniversary. While I can roll with that, I’m not as keen on a beach holiday as I was when I was younger. It could be the hot flashes,Continue reading “Bookish Destinations”

A Little Bit of (Crawfish) Monica in My Life

What foods would you like to make? The thing about books and myself is that, from my tween years (back when “tween” wasn’t in anyone’s vocabulary) I’d formed a (possibly unhealthy) habit of partnering reading time with snack time. I read books every day, but nothing beat the joy of Friday afternoon reading. On Fridays,Continue reading “A Little Bit of (Crawfish) Monica in My Life”

Cat Lady Post: Mid-level Cat Lady with Some Seniority

Dogs or cats? It’s not that I don’t like dogs. In fact, I love them. I wouldn’t mind taking care of one or two.

New Wave was okay, but I’ve always just had a hankering for nostalgia even when I was about knee-high toContinue reading “Eclectic with a Large Dollop of Bangtan”

What, Me Worry?

What are you most worried about for the future? Let’s hear it for the GenX folks who grew up on Mad Magazine? How did I get to read a lot of it when I wasn’t even allowed? Shout out to my uncles (my mom’s brothers who were only six and eleven years older than me)Continue reading “What, Me Worry?”

Surgeries I’ve Had to Deal with

Have you ever had surgery? What for? This is my first time answering a daily prompt! So here goes everything, all sorts of TMI you probably want to be spared from. 😀 I hadn’t wanted any surgery at all, but my last two children (my sons) were both almost ten pounds and, being a hair’sContinue reading “Surgeries I’ve Had to Deal with”
