Misc Monday ~ in which dreams are not always goals

Let's talk in a little depth about one of my 101 in 1001 categories today: the Writing category. When I started the 101 in 1001 challenge, I was planning on working on my dream of becoming a published novelist. Therefore, one of the main categories of my challenge is writing. And yet, now that I'm…

Misc Monday ~ in which we have eclipse linkity

Let's do some brief linkity about the Solar Eclipse today! Yes, I know, the eclipse was a week ago, but I had other plans for last week's post. First of all, the USPS has Solar Eclipse stamps! And when you heat them up (say, by holding your thumb over the image) you can see the…

Misc Monday ~ in which I try a new BuJo layout

As you have read in prior blogs, I am into Bullet Journaling. I really love it; for me, this is one great way to keep on track. I can record all of my plans and goals in one place, and know that it's all where I need to see it. ~*~        ~*~…

Misc Monday ~ in which my weekend was derailed

Well. Life happens sometimes, you know? And accidents happen. This weekend's accident involved broken china, deep cuts, and three stitches. I'm not going to go into more detail that that, since the accident is Mr. Wyrm's story to tell more than mine. (He's fine now. Otherwise I would be taking care of him instead of…

Misc Monday ~ in which we play Desert Island Discs Tag

Jay at This Is My Truth Now tagged me last week to play in a blog tag. (He's got some great book reviews, and if you're interested in reviews you should check them out. He also posts non-review stuff too, but the reviews are what first got me visiting his blog.) This one is the…

Misc Monday ~ in which we discuss reading preferences

Let's talk books today. But not book reviews; let's go with something more general. Specifically, genre. Do you have a favorite genre? How about a hated genre? One of the items on my 101 in 1001 Challenge is to read a book in each of six genres (hard sci-fi, western, mystery, biography (non-memior), memoir, and science…

Misc Monday ~ in which Seanan McGuire is awesome

I wasn't going to post anything today, since yesterday was Father's Day and so I didn't make the time in yesterday's schedule to write a Misc Monday post the day before like I usually do. (Holidays and such will throw wrenches in blog posting schedules. You know.) And then I visited some of my blogroll…

Misc Monday ~ in which I watch a Disney documentary

So I don't know about you, but I am a fan of the Disney company. (Those of you who have been following along will already know this. Newer readers might not, as I haven't talked about it much lately.) And one of the things I love is Disney animation. They do, and have done, some…

Misc Monday ~ in which I miss spring

I don't know about the weather where you are, but it seems we in Northern California have kinda skipped the bulk of spring. Well, our spring, anyway. We got someone else's spring. A California spring usually involves sunny-but-not-too-hot days and cool nights. Perfect for evening walks. And very little rain. Some, yes. But our usual…

Misc Monday ~ in which we have a winner!

The random number generator has spoken, and the winner of my giveaway is Trix! Yay! Trix, I will email you as well, but please send me your mailing address by email so that I can send you this fun bunch of goodies. And... I just realized I didn't screen cap the random number picker or…
