Taraxacum officinale, that's the fancy name. A lot of folks just call it a weed. But me? I call it a wish flower. I don't really know how dandelions became synonymous with making wishes, and a quick Google search revealed no ready answer, but I know I've been blowing those seeds into the wind as…
C is for Cruising
Let me just say this loud and proud: I love to travel! And I'm not too picky about how "travel" gets defined, as long as I'm going somewhere. Fly cross country for a long vacation, road trip through a few states looking at balls of twine, weekend in the next town down the road, it…
Back to Basics
Oh my gosh. I don't really want to start talking politics and stuff here, because the world is crazy these days and probably doesn't really need one more voice blabbering on about things with little to no actual knowledge of said things. And, trust me, there are a lot of things I really don't know…
Once More, with Feeling
As I think I mentioned not long ago, way back in 2011, I made the only New Year's resolution I've ever totally managed to fulfill. I wanted to stop eating so much junk food, exercise more, and lose fifty pounds; I actually ended up losing just over sixty throughout the course of the year. Whoo-hoo.…
B is for Baby . . . Sort of
If you don't have any little folks in your life, you might have missed out on the phenomenon sweeping through the pre-school set these days: Baby Shark. If you really have managed to escape it, just know that it's an earworm of a song that will bore into your brain with a single listen, so…
Wow
I mean, there's really nothing else to say about a perfect 10. I'm not even particularly a fan of gymnastics, but I can't stop watching this. (Though, for the record, my body kind of gets achy just looking at these moves!) If you have somehow missed out on Katelyn Ohashi's amazing performance, do yourself a…
Super Saturday
Every January, Plexus hosts Super Saturday, a nationwide training day--live events in multiple locations throughout the country and live stream viewing for those who aren't close enough make it to any of the venues. Ostensibly, the idea is to get a bit of new knowledge along with a bit of inspiration, all designed to help…
It Starts with A
Here we are, at the beginning of a brand new ABC Wednesday. Having let my blogging go by the wayside for several years, it's obviously been a while since I participated, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go again. As I mentioned before, I enjoy this particular linkup because the available topics are…
What’s the Word?
Before we get into today's actual topic, I first have to say that we just finished watching Clemson roll all over Alabama, and that made this Oklahoma household pretty happy. Not that we don't have reason to hold a grudge against the Tigers, too, but the bad feelings for the Tide are more raw, so…
The First Snowfall
Today brings the magic of the first snow of the season. Though, truthfully, we don't get much snow around these parts, so sometimes the first snow is also the last, you never can tell. But since it isn't common, when it does come, it's usually an event, though not in a good way. The first…
