LJ Idol Week 6--Topic: Ghosts
I don't have a ghost story to tell. I know and have known many people who have seen ghosts, had unexplained events happen to/around them, and otherwise experienced supernatural phenomena. But, not me. I have yet to see a single spirit, unless you count bottles of rum. I've seen (and helped consume) a lot of those. ;) Still, I'm terrified by ( Read more... ) -
Vote again?
I ended up in a three-way tie for last place in my tribe, so now there's a voting run-off. Deadline is tomorrow, 4pm. Could you please swing by and vote for me again? I actually have an idea for this week's topic and everything, so I'd like to get a chance to write it for the competition ( Read more... ) -

LJ Idol Week 2 Topic: "I Don’t Care About Apathy: What I "Should" Care About - But Don’t"
"They're having a gas shortage in Charlotte, you better check on that before you go to make sure you don't end up getting stuck there!", mom says with more than a hint of glee in her voice. What I didn't say, but thought quite loudly was, getting stuck in Charlotte would be fine with me. What I did say was "A gas shortage isn't going to change ( Read more... ) -
Never Say Goodbye--LJ Idol Week 1 Topic: Saying Goodbye
I don't remember where I heard it, but a number of years ago I heard something along the lines of "Never say goodbye, always say 'see you later'". The idea behind this is that "goodbye" seems very final, whereas "see you later" leaves room for getting together again. This has been my philosophy on goodbyes ever since. For instance, when my ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol -Week 0 Post - Introduction
I'm a 35 (for another month) mother of 2 girls, ages 6 and 3. My husband, darkwolf69, was a contestant last season after I pointed him to the community. I was still reluctant to officially sign up myself, but decided to play the "home game". I didn't do many of the topics though, so I figured if I signed it up this time and had a real deadline like ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol--Tossing My Hat in the Ring
I'm a long-time reader, first time contestant. I don't expect to make it past the first elimination round and, if I manage that, not much past that, but I figured, what the heck. Might as well give it a try. :) -
I Am Mama Bear, Hear Me Roar
Ok, I didn't roar. But I did stare down a normally persistent stray (?) dog into leaving me (and, more importantly, Snoopy) alone this morning. There's this small dog that sometimes roams our neighborhood. It probably isn't stray because it's not always outside and but it has been outside off and on for months now, but it doesn't wear a collar ( Read more... ) -

365 photos
I got seriously behind in posting 365 shots, got updated, then got behind again. They're all up now at Flickr, but there are so many that I don't feel like re-posting them all here too. So, if you want to see the last week and a half or so of my 365 photos, go here. Note: I did skip July 4th, on accident. I decided to go forward with the ( Read more... )
