I’ve wandered for 144 days now, and am still amused – regularly coming across refreshing new blogs. I wanted to share my observations as to everything that I’ve discovered blogging is to me. Please, wander with me for a bit, I’d love to learn about the gems you’ve found along the way too! Blogging is……
I’m half-Korean. People don’t quite know where to place me. My skin is too dark to be white (You can’t spell Caucasian without Asian…), my green-ish eyes aren’t Asian, my Hungarian cooking scrambles their brains. Honestly, not being brought up Asian, and turned off by some stereotypes for Asian women, I identified with American Indians,…
When I was a kid, what was the first thing I did when I heard my parents would be out of town? Mom, if you’re reading this, the answer is Picked up my room, Asked for extra credit homework assignments, Rested, Told my friends no parties when my parents were gone, Missed You! I’ve heard…
The other day my daughter and I drove down the street when this caused me to do a nearly- illegal u-turn in the street. We admired every detail as my mind started racing thinking of the increments of time covered in these Back to the Future films. The ability to go back, reliving or rewriting…
Today being Cinco de Mayo, we threw a family fiesta! Trying to figure out a Mexican menu that both kids would eat challenged me. One kid eats quesadillas, the other hates melted cheese. One loves spicy food, the other gets easily burned. I settled on Chicken Fajitas. I immediately thought how colorful and beautiful it…
Ever since working 5 minutes in the pool snack bar 30 years ago, I couldn’t wait to do it again. With the heat turned up thanks to the increased responsibility of an oil fryer and nacho cheese, I was nervous that I’d wind up ruining someone’s mouthwatering vision for their fries or taco boat. As…
Rather than a new post tonight – I’m introducing a new page! Inspired by Spencer the Caterpillar, our nature-loving neighbors, the desire to get back to nature, and the memories of an unplugged, fancy-free childhood, comes: Naturally, Kids! If you have any ideas to add to the list, or favorite adventures to share, I’d love…
The Mega Lottery jackpot hit $500 million! The community buzzes with anticipation for Friday night’s draw and the endless possibilities! My son drafted a plan for our winnings – he assures me he’s a big money financial whiz. Everywhere I go, people cannot stop talking about their hopes and plans. LOTTERY STRATEGY: 1) Picking numbers…
How many favorite family traditions can you think of from the last third of the year? Then, turn the corner into the new year and the barren first months leave us in withdrawals. This year I’m eager to define a fun tradition for my family to implement this spring, in addition to our shamrock shake…
Numbers and I remain cordial. By accident, or my ethnicity, I usually score well on math tests. However, the more I think about numbers, the faster my head spins. I started this blog for the daily discipline to write and to live the joy discovered by breathing life into creative tidbits that I wander across,…
I boldly committed to writing 365 words a day for 365 days, and leapt onto the page, typing enthusiastically until the screeching realization about 10 days into it, that 2012 actually has 366 days! Dang it! I could write 366 words for 366 days, or write 366 words every 4th posting. Perhaps I should blaze…
Blogging rides up on my butt every night threatening to run me over and derail me. Recently back working again, I haven’t retained the mental space to prepare a prominent idea cultivated while wandered during the day – and I don’t want to blog about my work as I’d love for it to transform into…
