Welcome to my blog. I will post whatever I am working on, whether it be a creative writing piece, random blip that has made my day, or an opinion I would like to share with the world. I hope that you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

I started this years ago, and am seeing if I want to make it into an author's blog.


Remember, today is not simply something to get through, but something to treasure. So smile and enjoy it!!!

"Crap" Booking (a.k.a. Intense Scrapbooking)

Do you scrapbook?  Compiling photos, stickers, and the occasional item such as a ticket stub.

For me, I use scrapbooking to keep pieces of important moments of my life, which also helps me to de clutter.  Instead of saving every balloon, card, and piece of wrapping paper, I cut a piece of them and put them along side photos and stickers.  My scrapbooks are places to keep these items in a meaningful location I will actually look at again.

Do you crapbook?

Thought(s) of the Day: Word Irony

Why isn't "palindrome" spelt the same backwards and forwards?

Why isn't "phonetics" spelt the way it sounds?

Why doesn't "monosyllabic" have one syllable?

Why is "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" (fear of long words) so long?

Why isn't there a common abbreviation for "abbreviation"?
