We ended up walking, slowly because 50s, to The Brass Balls for lunch. Sat outside under the umbrellas, with little birds flitting about like ninjas after crumbs left on the floor. And I say ninjas, because they have mad skills without the fuck-it-all attitude that seagulls have. Seriously, have ya’ll been to a boardwalk? In … Continue reading M.I.A. – Part 2
Where I’ve Been
M.I.A.
My motivation to get up and go, got up and went. This is my current metaphor for my writing. Even my private journal is abysmally empty and then that becomes a bigger problem for when I do feel like blogging and can’t remember a damn thing AND have no place to reference. As it is, … Continue reading M.I.A.
Gone to the Dogs
When’s the last time I had a “My Life is Shit” post? Well, apparently the doggo gods have decided we’re overdue. But first – a trip to the Mart of Wal. Or you can skip the next five paragraphs. The choice is yours. You do you. I bought a raven lamp a couple of years … Continue reading Gone to the Dogs
Another Day, Another Dollar
You know, I’m a little offended that the paparazzi has not once reported my absence on social media. There has been no speculation on my whereabouts, or rumors of my disappearance. There’s no excuse, really. Where have I been? Isolating. Traveling. Apathy. Busy. Writers block and all that. It’s conference season for Todd and this … Continue reading Another Day, Another Dollar
I know I Don’t Want to Die
I know because I voluntarily went out in the truck with Todd on a dark, soggy night last night with questionable visibility and I wasn’t driving and I was three heartbeats away from a full-on panic attack. I’ve never had a panic attack before but I think that is what it would feel like just … Continue reading I know I Don’t Want to Die
Crawling In My Skin
Been wondering where I’ve been? I’ve been everywhere and nowhere, all at once. Today is a strange day. It’s also National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day and we all wore something to work to commemorate the occasion. I made (technically a sweatshirt) the Christmas Vacation Fried Cat sweater. Google it. I bought a small battery-operated pack … Continue reading Crawling In My Skin
Nashville Sightseeing
Sightseeing I googled self-guided walking tours in Nashville and found one that seemed doable and gave loads of background info, so Todd and I set out on our first full day with warm, sunny weather. First word of caution – walking is The Way. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. We walked down First Avenue which … Continue reading Nashville Sightseeing
Nashville!
Nashville! We went and stayed for three days. The End. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Intro, body, and conclusion – Aunt Dianna’s suggestion. Now, for the meat. Nashville has been on my bucket list for several years, as well as the desire to … Continue reading Nashville!
The Road to Music City – Part 2
Sunday morning we rose at a respectable hour, Todd made coffee in what I’ve come to recognize as the standard hotel coffeemaker – the little black machines that are smaller than a toaster, with the little slide-tray packages of coffee – but he engineered his coffee by cutting open a k-cup of caramel vanilla cream … Continue reading The Road to Music City – Part 2
The Road to Music City
It’s eleven hours to Nashville.The halfway point for us was Roanoke, Virginia. I booked a hotel room with easy on/off access to the highway and did my usual research about the area we were staying in. I plugged the address into my GPS and Todd wanted to connect his iPhone to my car because “it’s … Continue reading The Road to Music City
