MACRO-blogging on weather, apps, an iPhone feature, death and Halloween
I had more to write than I thought I did, so today's post can't be considered microblogging. As the title reads, I'm talking about the weather (a great opener to any conversation), iPhone apps, an iPhone feature, death and Halloween. It all ties together somehow.... while reintroducing The Christopher Chronicles.
Microblogging on the perfect cup of Joe and Scentsy stuff...
Excerpt: I've found my new favorite Scentsy scent. I'd been wishing to find the perfect scent. But I can't take the credit for finding it. Daddy sniffed it out.
A Race Against Time
A couple weeks ago, I got the bright idea to do a then and now photo. I had to beg Christopher to participate. He asked, "Are you going to be sharing this in social media?" I responded, "Yes." In the end, my idea cost me $5.
There's bigger fish and then there's microblogging
The concept behind microblogging is to just write a few sentences of this and that, something you may have shared on facebook or didn't. BLOG about it, then you have a whole rambling post...
What's Going On
Excerpt: I have white friends, I have a white sister-in-law, half of the members at my church are white and the majority of my blog readers are white, all with whom I'm careful in what I say or write about because I don't want to be misunderstood....
Pray For A Cancer Cure
Has God ever spoken to you and told you do something and you didn't follow through? Well my spirit has been nagged long enough and again today right on time.
Where The Story Begins
This story was shared here nearly five years ago when my daddy asked me to write a blog post about him. I said, "Really? Okaaaay."...
A Presumption Of Guilt
Excerpt: "Excuse me" the grandmother charged, "you're sitting in our chairs!" Not alarmed, I said, "Really? We've been sitting here all day." The grandfather yipped like a chihuahua right behind her, something about that's why they put their t-shirts on the chairs so people won't take them...
My Week, In Reverse
Thank you for being a holiday. I wish I could say I was chillin' but weather kinda of threw the weekend off. I'm gonna take a break to blog before I figure out what's for dinner....
Vacation Memories Captured
One of my favorite vacations this summer was not planned. I'm not a fan of impromptu, so when Papa Bear asked if Christopher and I wanted to come with him to Florida and hang out while he attended a photography seminar, I said, "No."
This Chapter Continues
Recap: I've lost my writing mojo, so I've been Netflixing, organizing stuff and putting puzzles together. This summer I've put together six puzzles, cleaned out two closets, completed a major overhaul to Papa Bear's office space and tweaked mine to death. No lie!
Catch Me If You Can!
A story with two truths and one lie.
I was tagged by blogger friend Jamie Miles to participate in a challenge to tell two truths and one lie. I don't usually play along because I don't like to tag a bunch of people but in this challenge, you only had to tag one person and Jamie chose me.
This is going to hurt me more...
Excerpt: It felt like a sauna in the gym. I didn't drink anything because I didn't want to need the restroom. I sat and sweat in there like a hostage, and had to put eye drops in my eyes every so often so I could blink...
Chasing the clouds away...
I can't remember all of my thoughts in my walks and talks with God, but the feeling that comforted me most was knowing that God's blessings are our protection. That's what I have to hope for, have faith in and believe with all my heart. In this post I am sharing 10 bible verses to lift us up and remind us that God Is the ultimate blessing.
I've literally been in the closet... that and other lifestyle changes
Apparently I'd rather clean my closet than blog these days. My son asked me if organizing my closet was my new hobby...
Google Diagnosis Reveals A Common Problem
At this point, I was itching between my toes. Feelin' like Pookie from New Jack City, "Ish just be callin me man, callin me man. I just gotta go to it."
Coffee Break With A Special Guest
I have a special guest today! Over a month ago, without running it by mom, I called daddy directly and asked, "Can I have mom for a week in May?" I completely caught him off guard so he was super cool about it...
Jazz, Peace, Tea Time & Blogging about Borrowing Stuff
I just clicked over to the BlogHer Writing Lab prompt for today because I don't feel my coffee break writing flow coming. I'm going to roll with it even though I got nuthin'.
DWB - it's a thing...
Driving While Black... I remember allowing my brother to drive me around in my 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse but I seldom let him borrow it. One day I had to run a quick errand to return something to a department store. My brother's friend rode along and I sat in the back seat. When we got to the store, I said, "I'll only be a few minutes" telling him that he didn't need to park. I hopped out of the car and ran into the store. When I came back outside, there was a police car sitting there but I didn't think anything of it. When I got back in the car, my brother had been questioned about whose car he was driving, why he was sitting there and why I ran into the store....
Coffee Break: On Busy Weekends with Family
A daddy visit rarely goes by where he isn't the star of the show on my blog. This post was originally going to be about his particular need to have Amy's pizza on Friday nights and doctoring it to his liking while listening to his music...
