Let’s go everywhere

Today’s NaBloPoMo prompt asks, “Where would you want to retire if money wasn’t an issue?” Well, since that’s a rather unfair question for someone who hasn’t really traveled a whole heck of a lot (seriously, how could I possibly decide on one place [continue reading…]

#MicroblogMondays 64 – Hopping aboard a different ship

I had flash of insight this past weekend. I suppose it wasn’t particularly deep or world-changing, but it was a bit of a lightbulb moment for me, so I thought I’d share in the hope that it might speak to others.

Today’s Gratitude List + November 2015 Gratitude Linkup

This has been a horrific week in our world, full of violence and heartbreak and loss of life. At times like this I often struggle with expressing gratitude – not because I’m not grateful (quite the opposite, in fact), but because my trivial little lists seem so [continue reading…]

Sketchy Saturday No. 2

This past week’s Draw & Sketch class was excellent – one in which I feel as though I learned a tremendous amount in such a very short time – so I have lots of fun stuff to share for today’s Sketchy Saturday post.

Cleaning. ALWAYS cleaning.

Today’s NaBloPoMo prompt asks, “If you had a personal assistant who would do your most dreaded tasks, which items from your to-do list would you assign out?”

Tangled Tuesday No. 67

Hooray for time off… especially time off with very few commitments, allowing one to do whatever one chooses with said time… in my case (as you might well imagine), plenty of tangling! Happy Tangled Tuesday!

#MicroblogMondays 63 – My Latest Splurge(s)

Over at Stirrup Queens today Mel is asking her readers, “What was your last splurge?” I had to laugh when I read that question (especially after reading about her splurge!), because anyone who knows me well will almost certainly guess that [continue reading…]

Sketchy Saturday No. 1

Just a quick one!

After working all day and then scarfing down a quick dinner, I am now off for the evening to my first of seven Draw & Sketch classes with a friend. Unfortunately, due to my rather poor planning (or rather lack of planning ahead!), I’m afraid I don’t have time for more than a quick, “Hi, this is me satisfying my NaBloPoMo/NoMo commitment to post every day in November, and I’ll see you tomorrow with something better!” kind of thing.

Sorry it’s not more exciting. 🙂

But P.S. – If you want to hear all about how tonight’s class goes, check back here at Alphabet Salad on the weekend, as I’m planning to launch a “Sketchy Saturday” series of posts which will follow each of my seven classes this fall (and might possibly continue even when the course is done – we shall see).

How’s your week going?
