Spoiler warning: I saw Lion King today. I'm going to reflect on it halfway through the post. If you're planning to see it and have avoided all discussion/criticism of it to this point and don't want my opinions coloring your view heading in, this is your heads up. Whoops, forgot it was Sunday and I … Continue reading Lion Around

Prompts 289-290
Write about your first day at your current job. Most jobs these days are pretty similar on day one. You go to HR, finish filling out any paperwork you need to complete, get your name tag/badge/ID, and sit through orientations. Sometimes you get OTJ training first day, sometimes you don’t. Usually you meet your boss … Continue reading Prompts 289-290
Technical Difficulties
So uh, my computer has been acting up lately and this is the newest development in a string of technical difficulties. It's very old and cranky but I thought I could fix it anyway. After fighting with it for a bit, I have surrendered. (I'm currently writing this on my phone so I apologize if … Continue reading Technical Difficulties
Prompt 287-Childish No
Write about a time you said, “No!” as a child. Mama always said there was magic in the world if you knew where to look for it. She said that most people forget how to see it as they get older. It seems silly that they should forget, when they’re the ones always reminding us … Continue reading Prompt 287-Childish No
Prompt 286-Favorite TV Series
What is your favorite TV series? I don’t watch a lot of live TV anymore, let alone syndicated series. I couldn’t even tell you what the popular sitcoms are these days. Big Bang Theory finally ended, right? I used to watch reruns with my husband after dinner, but I wouldn’t call it my favorite series. … Continue reading Prompt 286-Favorite TV Series

We are in our 6th day of a heatwave (90F+) and as blasphemous as it sounds I am very much looking forward to early fall where the temps are closer … Continue reading Too Hot For Blog Titles
Prompt 284-Present Past
Write about an event going on in your life right now, but see if you can write about it in the past tense. The night was hot and sticky as I sat down to my evening ritual. Despite the fan moving the air around, my office was stuffy. While my computer powered on, I opened … Continue reading Prompt 284-Present Past
Prompt 283-Noteworthy Teacher
Write about a teacher of yours who did something noteworthy. Back at the beginning of June, I wrote about grief and how my father passed away when I was only ten years old. It was a very personal piece, and I think it resonated with a lot of people. I’m about to get personal again. … Continue reading Prompt 283-Noteworthy Teacher
Ahhh I’m Melting!
How's everyone doing this fine Sunday afternoon? Staying plenty cool I hope? Drinking lots of water? It's much less humid today than it was yesterday at least. I just felt like a puddle all day Saturday. I spent the morning on my makeshift patio in the backyard drinking my coffee and browsing Pinterest before the … Continue reading Ahhh I’m Melting!
Prompt 277-Grinds My Gears
What grinds your gears and really annoys you? For a self-proclaimed “super laid back” chick, I certainly find myself in a state of annoyance more often than I care to admit. Maybe it’s a hyperawareness thing; I recognize when I’m annoyed more because my mental image of myself is serene and imperturbable and then it … Continue reading Prompt 277-Grinds My Gears
