Day one… Again!

Dear Reader,

Because of the holiday festivities, I temporarily stopped posting to this blog. Now, that I have decided to get back on track I realized that I must start over from day one with my original writing exercise. Hopefully I will not have to many more distractions like this one. I really do want to complete the full 21 days in their entirety. Please bear with me and remember, positive encouragement is always welcome

Today I saw a bowl filled with Brownie pieces covered with two scoops of Hudsonville then no ice cream and drizzled with Hershey's chocolate.

Yesterday I saw part of the movie It's Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. All I could think of while watching this was, what if the same type of situation happens to my parents. I must say, this concept is slightly disturbing. The more I think about this movie and the more I think about the writing, and what kind of mind must have come up with this concept.

It sounded like drunken slurs and slips, followed by the song were reunited and it feels so good.

If you lived inside me you would see someone who is blessed with more people and love in her life than she knows what to do with. You would see a person who is slowly realizing at the age of 27 that objects mean nothing and people mean everything.

The most beautiful, terrible thing is… a tear stained recipe card.

The five things that I saw that no one else saw

1.     the inside of my eyelids
2.     the way the Angels that fly around my bedroom.
3.     The layers of paint applied to the stars in Vincent van Gogh's starry night.
4.     The forgotten coffee cup that sits on my dresser
5.     the uneaten solid milk chocolate M that sits under my television set, and the annual gift from my grandmother.

A Date with Modern Art

A Date With Modern Art CHARACTERS BILL ANNA SETTING Just inside the doors of a modern art exhibit. A Date With Modern Art [BILL and ANNA have been at the modern art exhibit for just under an hour.   They are classmates who were assigned to critique the positive aspects of a particular sculpture for an Art 101 class.] BILL Why exactly do we have to do this again?

Celebrity Name Game

When mom met me up this morning, she was asking me which celebrity was my favorite, you know favorite female actress or male actor. It reminds me of a one, of one of those  party games that are meant to catch you offguard guard. She asked me a bunch of other questions, I answered accordingly. At the end of the game and after I was done using the toilet and eating breakfast… I wished that I would have been able to come up with better responses.  I think I said Jim Carrey and Julia Roberts. Looking back however, I would have changed my answers. Jim Carrey would have been a contender but Matthew McConaughey would have knocked him off of the top spot. As far as favorite actresses go, and still would have been Katherine Hagel, even though her career has been put on hold because of her desire to have a family. Mom then switched to questions that were of a more personal nature. That game reminding me of something I saw on one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Charmed. I think the s...

The End of The Bucket List

Noah finally reached #99 today. The reporter and photographer from the local paper had just left, when I arrived. “ The basket hit the ground safely, I see.”             “Yes,” he replied. “As you predicted, it would have been more fun with my Emilee. All the couple I went with wanted to do was swill red or white, and talk of his promotion. Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next? I was there at the beginning when you had me write the blasted list.”             He was sitting on the edge of the bed when he looked over at me. Tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. “Ah, my boy, I wish I had more time on the clock, more things to tick off.     ...
