Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Photo Source: allposters.com / Pinterest I hope everyone will be enjoying time with family and friends this thankful holiday! On this day, Thanksgiving Day, I pause to reflect on what I am thankful for this year. 1. My husband, who loves me unconditionally and who is not necessarily perfect, but who is perfect for me. 2. My babies – Dakota, Daisy, and Doc (and yes, they are all dogs), who bring such joy to my life. 3. My family, who supports me in everything I do. 4. My job and my co-workers, who are all freakin’ fabulous! […]
Movie Remakes I Want to See
I was watching Pitch Perfect the other night and Skylar Astin’s character, Jesse, was bragging to Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, about movies with great soundtracks and he mentioned The Breakfast Club. The song, “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds, is awesome, and I love the part in that movie when Judd Nelson triumphantly thrusts his fist up into the air as the credits began to roll. This same song was “mashed up” with another song in Pitch Perfect and was performed by Beca (Anna Kendrick) and the Barden Bellas. I won’t reveal any more details in case you […]
Welcome, November!
Photo Source: Pinterest Most stores already have their Christmas decorations up, and advertisers are already pushing the latest and greatest Christmas gifts. My question is: What happened to celebrating November? November is the start of college basketball season. We celebrate Veteran’s Day this month.

What I’m Listening to Now
When I’m writing, whether I’m writing on this blog or working on a short story or a script, I have to have music or the TV going on in the background. Sometimes when I hear a particular song, I can tell someone exactly where I was and what I was doing when that song was playing. Or there are songs that evoke a certain memory and I think, “Wow, this song belongs on the soundtrack of my life!” Then there are those songs that just make me move, and by move, I mean tap my foot, shake my booty, clap […]
My Favorite Things: A “Smashing” Idea!
One of my favorite things is reading and re-reading magazines and then pulling pages of interest out of the magazine to re-read a third time. But all those loose magazine pages can get lost or torn, so I decided I need a way to smash all of those pages together! Remember the “Slam Book” in Mean Girls? It’s the book that the “mean girls” plastered photos in, and wrote mean and cruel things about their peers and the teachers. Well, my “smashing” idea is not so much of a “slam book” but a “smash book”. It is a smash of all […]
