I've been screwing up in such odd ways lately, I think Lumosity is going to kick me out. It'll say, "Sorry, love, there's nothing we can do for you, you're on your own." For some reason, Lumosity thinks I'm in the 99th percentile for my age group, which, it really needs to re-evaluate that. I still love it, though; I know I'm better at names than I ( Read more... )

Hey, I won this month's stillnotbored 's paragraph contest! Wow, huh? what a thing. That's just the happy little pick-me-up I needed, lol, as it's otherwise, One Of *Those* Days.

I feel so accomplished :)

Hey, stillnotboredis hosting her monthly contest with a really fun first line; well, fun if you're into the very thin, that is. I have my entry in already, though it's a tad cryptic/silly. I did work in the word "olphalanges", which sounds like a communicable disease, but better mean 'toes'.

Our 25th wedding anniversary was on the 28th, and we had a wonderful ( Read more... )

We had a great day yesterday, we ate pizza and watched the "Groundhog Day" movie and just hung out, perfect!

My closet is almost done, so I've been moving things onto the racks and stuff. I love it! We still need a floor, but the flooring has come in, we're getting the Allure laminate from Home Depot, the "Traditional" wood look, which is maybe a ( Read more... )

Ooo, stillnotbored has another contest going, poetry, and you must use the first line: Grackles gather in the trees to feast on dreams

Poet I ain't, but there are some lovely examples already there on her blog, plus the full rules, plus the prize.

Grackles gather in the trees to feast on dreams
Because the ground's too low
Or they'd be down there with the worms, ( Read more... )

The scenes that I know are good and I have those on the cards, but I'm having a heck of a time with the surrounding parts and then there's the whole wondering if I can even write what I know that's making me feel wobbly. Today I'll work on actually writing out the beginning, just pretending that I have more than I have. My theory is that, since I ( Read more... )

Hey, don't forget to go for the gusto with stillnotbored 's contest here: http://stillnotbored.livejournal.com/817480.html . Today's the last day, and there's some awesome entries, but I'm sure she'd appreciate more. There's still plenty of time; it's only a paragraph and includes a cool prize, and who's not a prize whore? No one I know, lol! Good luck and love ( Read more... )

stillnotboredis running a very cute contest here: http://stillnotbored.livejournal.com/817480.html?view=4293448#t4293448 . Apparently it's going for the whole week, so she should have lots of entries. I'd hate to be her, trying to pick the winner, though, as there are some really good 'uns. I have my favorite so far, and am curious to see if it places. She just ( Read more... )

Tracy is celebrating her friend's, Terri-Lynne DeFine bogwitch64  's  book, Finder, so I wanted to help with that. Go here, http://tracy-d74.livejournal.com/63556.html  for the details, but basically she's asking about your fave spice, fave song, and fave treat, and then will put you in to win the book. Sweet, huh?

I adore curry powder, my favorite song ( ( Read more... )
