Earlier this week I wrote a blog post about the smell of books. Normally I try to use my own photos on my posts, mostly because it takes forever to find royalty-free photos. For that post, I knew I wanted something book-related, so I pulled out a few of my older books, and in oneContinue reading “Why Aren’t There More Pictures?”

Words I Like
Words are funny little critters. Maybe my fascination with them began during college when I worked at the local bookstore. The part-time job supplied me with access to unlimited books, just enough social engagement to make me happy, and a little pocket money to buy things any college student needs, like beer and pizza. EveryContinue reading “Words I Like”
Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Six
Week six has been fun. If you’ll recall, each day during week five, I read a poem about sleep, which in some cases meant death. Since that was depressing, I promised to look for something a little lighter this week and my son helped me pick the theme: Fish! You’ll notice I also included aContinue reading “Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Six”
Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Five
Great things come in fives. Five traditional elements. Five Olympic rings. Five senses. Most of us have five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. And now entering week five, my weekly poetry readings! In the last post I hinted at a theme for this week: sleep. Unfortunately I forgot most traditionalContinue reading “Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Five”
Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Four
Week Four into my poetry reading challenge and I need to tell you the past few days have been difficult for me to keep my part of the bargain. Last week I picked up a cold from somewhere and now both kids are home sick. When that happens, I tend to just go through the motions. Do theContinue reading “Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Four”
Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Three
I’m on week three! I’ve also added a photo :). I read somewhere that photos are a must, so I tried to add a photo last week. I dumped out a bunch of those magnetic poetry pieces on the table and tried to make a small poem. ‘Silver angels smiled’ and then something else thatContinue reading “Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Three”
Weekly Poetry Reading – Week Two
When did time become so fast? Two weeks have already flown by. It was harder to keep up with the challenge this week. A couple of my days didn’t go as planned, but I’ve stuck with it and I’m proud to say I’ve read seven more poems. My reading selections for the second week:
Weekly Poetry Reading – Week One
At the end of last year, I made myself a resolution to read a poem a day. As I said in the original post, I’m not a poet. I’m not sure I want to be a poet, either. But I have great respect for poets and words. In an effort to learn more about both,Continue reading “Weekly Poetry Reading – Week One”
Why I Deleted Everything on My Pinterest Account
One of the first emails I saw this morning came from a mail autobot. It told me someone had left a comment on one of my pins over at Pinterest. This never happens. I get emails all the time about people re-pinning pins I’ve pinned, but never a comment. I opened it. It was from another Pinterest user, telling me IContinue reading “Why I Deleted Everything on My Pinterest Account”
