NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 29: Fruitcake – It’s not just a doorstop anymore
We’ve all heard the horror stories that come around each Holiday season about ridiculously bad fruitcake. That cake that gets re-gifted time and time again because, really, no one wants it. Eventually, it simply doubles as a doorstop. It’s the stuff of legend – or urban legend. Fortunately, my grandmother’s fruitcake was not fodder for…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 28: Trying to stay committed
People who know me well probably think that I should stay committed. In a nice facility with padded walls and tight, white jackets. But, really, I’m probably one of the more sane people I know. It’s a scary thought, really. But, in this case, staying committed refers to National Blog Posting Month. Not including this post,…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 27: The Creeping of Memory
I went to see Fun Home almost 3 weeks ago. (Read my review here.) Since seeing the show, I’ve been listening to the soundtrack almost constantly. “Alexa, listen to Fun Home – A New Broadway Musical” has become my most frequent request of my Amazon Echo. Honestly, it’s sort of an obsession. While the circumstances are very…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 26: “Oy, with the poodles already.”
So, today was a total wash. I got absolutely nothing accomplished – except for watching 1/2 of the very first season of Gilmore Girls. And napping. I’m one of those people who has been waiting for the revival – Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life – to be released on Netflix. That day finally came and…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 25: Okay! Now it’s official….
If you’ve been keeping up with my blog posts of late, then you know that I’m a huge fan of Hallmark during this time of year. Their “Countdown to Christmas” has been going on since Halloween. And I have been all in! The Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries have been on my “favorite…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 24: A Good Day
Aaaahhhhhh! It is done. The food was prepared. The family gathered. Prayers were shared. Food was consumed. Naps were had. It was a good day. As predicted, I woke to the fabulous smells of the roasting turkey. I got up early enough to get the turkey out of the oven to cool and prepare the…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 23: ‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving
Well, I’m still in hyper-drive mode. The stuffing is almost ready. I need to clean the turkey. Once the turkey is in the oven, I need to clean the kitchen, which will consist of washing pans and bowls too large for the dishwasher, and putting everything else in the dishwasher. Then, I will get to sleep…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 22: Big Gay Thanksgiving Agenda
Tomorrow is the day before Thanksgiving in the United States. This will end up being one of my busiest days of the year. (Until Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.) So, what exactly is my “Big Gay Thanksgiving Agenda?” Lemme ‘splain. First thing in the morning, right after I get up, will be to take my…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 21: Tempus fugit. Tempus TOTALLY fugit!
My refrigerator is being delivered tomorrow between 12 pm and 4pm . I’m not even CLOSE to being ready. The plans for thoroughly cleaning the living room have gone right out the window. Now, the plan is to organize as best as possible and make sure there is a clear path, completely free of obstructions…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 20: A white woman, a Hispanic couple, a Middle-Eastern woman, and a Black couple walk into a grocery store….
Tonight was “shop for Thanksgiving” night. Sunday nights are usually pretty good at my favorite grocery store for getting in and out. People are either at home watching Football or they are getting ready for work on Monday. The same held true on this Sunday before Thanksgiving, though the store was hopping a tad more…
