    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 25: Hard stuff

    We’re on the 25th day of National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) and it’s getting harder and harder to come up with interesting things to write about. It’s times like this that I realize that 1) I’m rather boring and 2) I don’t really have a wide variety of topics that I write about. (Any more…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 23: Memories

    I am what I call a Recovering Recovering Catholic. I wrote about it once here. In essence, I was raised Catholic. I stopped going to church for many, many years. Then 5 years ago, I returned. And I stayed. The main reason was because of one particular priest. (You can read more about why he’s…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 22: Tired

    This has been a rather long day. I got up early to see “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″…again. (Review to follow in a day or two.) Then I spent a good portion of the day baking cookies. And then I started searching for cookie recipes that are low carb and sugar free for…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 21: “The Family Games: Mystery – Part 2″

    As promised, I’m here to provide you with part 2 of “The Hensley Siblings Mystery.”  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you might want to read my previous post. So, we left of with me receiving a call from Marie at the St. Joseph’s Center in Scranton, PA regarding what she found when…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 20: “The Family Games: Mystery – Part 1”

    I’m paying homage to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 by breaking this particular blog topic into two posts. I, however, will not make you wait a full year before you can read Part 2. Instead, I will post the second installment tomorrow night. But first, the set up. You’ve all been made aware of…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 19: Interstellar (Review)

    I went to see Interstellar last week. We have a theatre in the area that not only has $5 Tuesdays, but their early matinees are also only $5. Even their regularly priced tickets are only $9.50 – so I try to go to that theatre the most. It will come in handy as I strive…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 18: States

    I’m currently on my way home from a quickie trip to Kansas City, MO to see a friend’s presentation. I started thinking about all of the traveling I’ve done this year…more than usual. I know a lot of people are doing these memes and quizzes online about how many states they’ve visited. So, I thought…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 17: World Premiere

    Short post today.  Busy, Busy, Busy! But I wanted to put it out there that I will be attending the Pre-Broadway World Premiere of “First Wives Club” in February! This excites me. I usually see plays and musicals in their revival…or after they’ve been on Broadway for a while. But this time, I’m going to…

    NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 16: Free eBook Download!

    Now that I have your attention…. If you have found your way to this blog post by doing a Google search that looks something like this – “[Author] [Book title] Free download” – well, let me tell you, friend, you have come to the wrong blog. What you are doing is partaking in piracy. And it’s illegal.…
