Angie Cruz challenge – Day Two

Today I saw a man who bore a remarkable resemblance to Santa Claus call his son out on national television. They were on Doctor Phil over some type of financial dispute.

Yesterday I saw the detectives of TNT's Major Crimes try and almost fail to solve a drive-by shooting. I can't get the image of the victim out of my mind. his knees covered in his own blood, his eyes closed as if sleeping.

If it has sound it would have been a mother's anguished cries and a father's shout of despair

If you lived inside me you would see someone who is craving a soft batch chocolate chip cookie complete with M&Ms. They remind me of childhood and a simpler time.

The most beautiful, terrible thing is the end of a good song, when the last echoes of the singer's voice leaves your ears.

The five things I saw that no one else saw


  1. that most of the people featured as winners on casino commercial are unbelievably overweight.
  2. The color of canned peas is a true Sage.
  3. That the inside of my old purse is reversible. I like the side with gold monkeys best.
  4. That Macauley Culkin, star of home alone eats his ice cream Sundays the same way I do.
  5. That apparently there is a door stopper on the outside of my closet.

I have recently started reading Nicholas Sparks’ latest novel The Longest Ride. As far as I can tell, this novel is written from the perspective of different characters. In the first chapter, we meet Ira. I believe he is in his early hundreds. He spends much of the first few pages talking about the close relationship he had with his father. What I liked most about this particular section was that it showed how human Ira was. He is an elderly man who was shaped by the guidance of his parents and the love of his wife. Of the only part I didn't particularly care for was the appearance of Ira's late wife. It seems to me that Sparks used this premise in his last few novels but I can be certain. One of the things that I enjoyed most about this first chapter was the amount of history that was involved in it. It seemed slightly reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks’ first big novel The Notebook. I didn't get through his last novel so I planned on doing a series of blogs about...

I remember...

 When things used to be simple. They would visit every Tuesday. I would miss them ,the kids would fill up the house with noise  and excitement. Then we got custody and the world changed.  I learned how to share. I learned how to teach. I  and others learned how to dream big for them. We all watched them grow experiment and change

Dream catcher

. Dream Catcher She awoke from her dream, a male voice saying, "I thought our mothers' always won."             Above is the only snippet of information I can remember from a recent dream I had. It at first sounded like the male voice or someone I knew, from high school or below. Now however, I can't place it. Maybe it's to remind me that my mother has always fought for me, and she will continue to win every war.             I collect dream catchers, I've always wondered whether they really work. Several years ago now, I was searching through some of my personal items and I found a legend about dream catchers on some stationary. It was a legend out of South Dakota. To quickly paraphrase, it said that the person's nightmare is held in the web of the dream catcher. Then, the dream or nightmare parishes in the early morning light. Prompt cre...
