NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 30: Success
November 30, 2014. The last day of National Blog Posting Month. I did it! 30 posts in 30 days. Yay! It was tough. Some days I just didn’t have anything to write about and I had to fake it. Some posts are pretty good. Some are okay. Some…well…they suck. But I still did it. And…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 29: Bothered
I’m actually not in a mood to write a blog post today. If I do, it will be a massive, unkind rant. And I don’t want to do that. Others may. But I will not. So, let me just say that I will be back tomorrow – for the final day of National Blog Posting…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 28: Black Friday
Once upon a time, I would go shopping on Black Friday. The first year was 1998 with my mom. I wrote about it in a blog post 2 years ago – weeks after my mother passed away. I don’t do Black Friday shopping anymore. Not the kind that requires camping out at stores or getting…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 27: Storms and Calm
To those who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving. This has been a very long day. I was up at 2:30am to prepare the turkey and put it into the oven. My intention was to go back to bed, but that didn’t happen. By that time, I was wide awake. So, I just ended up staying awake. I…

NaBloPoMo (11/24) – Day 26: Thankful
It’s the night before Thanksgiving in the United States. I’ve been prepping and cooking and baking….and I still have some cooking to do. Around 2:30am, I need to prepare the turkey and put it in the oven. I’ll wake up to the smell of a roasting turkey. Yum. Before I head off to church, I’ll…

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…
