Day 31: Free day. Whatever you like! I’m so tired writing this now (and Coraline just threw up in her crib) that I’m drawing a blank as to what to write about. Aha — how about some of the stranger search terms that have brought people to my blog? In…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 30
Day 30: Your spouse or significant other. I’ve been pretty open about expressing my fondness for Rich in the past. And since I’ve already poured my heart out like that, I’ve resorted to creating a fake profile for him based on how well I know him and what I love…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 29
Day 29: Your dream vacation. Years ago, my dream vacation would’ve been to see the pyramids and Valley of the Kings in Egypt or to traipse through Spain. More likely, it would’ve been to Atlantis in the Bahamas. Don’t get me wrong — I still hope to go to all…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 28
Day 28: If someone gave you $1,000 to spend on YOURSELF, what would you buy? Bzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Sorry, that was my drool shorting out my laptop keyboard. One thousand dollars? To spend on myself? Lawdy, I have no idea. Last time I spent that kind of money on myself was when…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 27
Day 27: Your favorite meals or recipes. My specialty is lasagna. My mom taught me how to make it ages ago, when I was in high school. I tweaked the recipe a bit in that I now make it with ground turkey instead of ground beef (since it’s leaner) and…

Then later in the summer we’ll likely take a week-long vacation…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 24
Day 24: Your favorite book or author. I have to say, I really can’t pick just one author, so I’ll break it down a bit. As a kid, I devoured books by Beverly Cleary. The Ramona Quimby series was my favorite. And when I read Ramona Forever and the Quimby…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 23
Day 23: How you came up with the name of your blog. I originally started my blog while living in Virginia to keep our family here in Knoxville (and elsewhere) up to date on what was going on in our lives. I also started it at Rich’s behest to hone…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 22
Day 22: Your favorite holiday. Most people would say Christmas, or maybe their birthday. I’m going to go with Thanksgiving, because that’s when I get a chance to shine (food-wise, anyway) in that I eat my own weight in turkey. I’m almost always the last person left at the table…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 21
Day 21: Something you love about yourself. My warped sense of humor. It comes through better in person than it does in my writing, believe me. A lot of telling believable stories has to do with delivery. Which is why I have friends who believe Rich and I met in…
