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…

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,…

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,…

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…

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…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 19: I’ll just leave this here…
Still in my pajamas. I put on socks and shoes to remind myself that it was, in fact, daytime. But, other than that, just my jammies. Didn’t go out of the house. Didn’t do anything of importance or purpose. I watched TV and napped. I did answer the phone the…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 18: Going to my happy place
The last few blog posts I’ve written have dealt with fairly serious, heavy subjects. I think they were warranted, actually. This month has brought about some serious, heavy emotions in me. In many of us. And since I don’t have a lot of people that I can just vent with…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 17: How to make a Catholic priest come close to tears
The pastor at my church called a meeting of all the Liturgical Ministers this evening. Since I am a Liturgical Minister, I went to the meeting. I could have done without it, to be honest. The first 30 minutes was spent going over logistics – put the Gospel book higher…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 16: “Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”
As time goes by, any hope for anything positive in the new administration is being rapidly ripped away from us. More and more people with extremist points of view – who are completely unfit – are being nominated for positions of power. It’s frightening, to say the least. However, I am…

This is my friend, Beth. Beth is smart. Beth is pissed. I love Beth. Be like Beth. HI Guys, You’ve let me down again. I’m not actually surprised. I’ve been trying to make peace with you for most of my life and I know how fruitless it is. I’ve tried…
Got any book recommendations?
