2019-12-28 MFA Res Day .998 – Serious Shrug

(They can’t all be winners.) I did a little catching up with some of my peeps last night but was hampered somewhat by a slight headache and a lack of desire. Desire for what I’m not sure. A few folks were talking about being nervous and or excited but it’s their second term. This is…
2019-12-27 MFA Res Day 0.5 – Midnight in December

6PM on December 27th in Nowheresville Nebraska and it might as well be midnight. Last time I was here I had to request a new room after 3 days because of a wasp problem and this time? It might be a neighbor problem. Time will tell. I’m not next to my friends anyway so they…
2019-12-27 MFA Res Day 0

Why day 0? Cuz I’m a numbers nerd and all good counters start at 0. Today is my last minute mad scramble to get my act together and haul myself and half my world to Nebraska City for the start of my 4th official Residency for my MFA.💃💃💃 Festivities kick off this afternoon and I’m…
2019-12-24 Party Time 🎄❤️🎄

It’s Christmas Eve ya’ll and we’ve got lots of people to see, stuff to do, and food to eat. All the wrapping and baking and running here and there for last minute errands has finally come to a conclusion and now it’s time to just try to relax and enjoy it all. But we all…
2019-12-21 Winter Solstice Baby

We had a great Friday night last night hanging out and talking and randomly flipping through shows to watch, though we never found one. It feels a rare treat to get that QT with my fiancé with no kids and no obligations to go anywhere or do anything. For a long while we just hung…
2019-12-20 The Answer is Pizza 🍕

You know how sometimes in life you get a feeling or a vibe or you notice a trend or a connection that defies explanation but you just know in your gut that there is something to it? Like intuition about something that makes no sense or random deja vu. There’s a reason we have a…
2019-12-17 So Much Sweetness

Today I’m doing a happy dance as my seemingly never ending semester is finally.. FINALLY over! 💃💃💃 Yesterday was my last class on campus and we had pizza did a fun little exercise where everyone writes a line of a poem on a piece of paper and then fold that over and pass it to…
2019-12-14 These are Not the Christmas Spirits You Were Looking For

It’s the weekend and I’ve been awake since about 7. The house is quiet and it’s just the cats and I milling about. I’ve finally made my way to the room with the treadmill and wowza is it cold in here. 62 degrees. We don’t run the heater in here unless people are going to…
2019-12-13 Island of Misfit Divinity

When I was a wee lass my grandmother (my mother’s mother) always spent quite a bit of effort at Christmas time making cookies. It was part of her tradition and there was always a healthy spread of festive plates piled high with treats on card tables in the back room of the basement on Christmas…
2019-12-12 Channeling the Chocolate Chip

This post must be dedicated to Michelle without whom I would not be inspired to try and be a Chocolate Chip cookie – today or ever! 😉 (Thanks for being a great accountability partner and an awesome human). I love a good chocolate chippy as much as the next girl, but for some reason the…
2019-12-11 An Infestation of Peanut Butter Christmas Mice

Why? Because Baby it’s cold out there and the mice have scrambled around looking for nooks to squeeze into the house, under the foundation, cracks between brick and wood and drywall and now!?.. Now they are in the walls and scurrying above our heads in the rafters and finding places to huddle together and nest…
2019-12-10 Miss GingerSnap Speaks Her Mind

This might end up making me sound like a person with a multiple personality disorder but I was inspired to “try on” some different cookies by my friend Michelle. So from now until Christmas (or the end of the year), I’m going to be a different cookie every day. Yay!!! 😃 *** Yesterday I had…
