Looking back at the weekend

This weekend was one for the books. I had moments of introspection, loneliness, happiness, pure anger, annoyance, creativity, frustration and tech savvyness.

1) The Loneliness led to intospection...which led to blogging Today's Lesson

2) Creativity and Frustration came out in Still Not Sleeping

3)Annoyance and Pure Anger was covered in Anger and Frustration...and I'm not sure exactly what I am going to do about it. The person envoking this wrath is a friend of a friend, but he and his little entourage of friends are just plain rude. I'm hoping it won't continue to be an issue,but if it does I'm going to do.

4) Creativity alone created some great leaps forward with the novella.

5) Frustration, Annoyance, and Tech Savvyness are all part of this need to fix a laptop. For some reason it kept locking up on Saturday night (luckily this is not my laptop). Now all the laptops lag every now and then...I know part of my laptop's issue is it is on Vista, and I have an older version of VDJ. I experience some lag especially when my monitior is extended to a TV. This however is something totally different. The laptop in question is on XP and should have plently of memory as well. Of course I was unable to replicate the issue...so I wasn't able to totally determine the cause of the lag. I'm hoping some disk clean up on the external hard drive will help speed things up.

6) Happiness was interspersed throught out the weekend. I tried to stay focused on that even in the less than happy moments. The happy moments are the ones we live for...the not so happy ones are just hurdles we have to fce.

Writing Prompts: 1.)  Six Word Memoir : Write about a significant time in your life in just six words. 2.) “One need not be a chamber to be haunted, One need not be a house.

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

Image
On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
