Writing Update

Hm.  I tried posting this at Studio30Plus, but apparently I can't post an update of this sort in their blog system. They'd rather have this kind of thing in the activity area that I'm not convinced anyone would ever see, so what's the point?  (Edited to add:  I posted a link to this blog post on the wall system to see if anyone would actually follow the link or comment...if you're visiting from Studio30Plus, please let me know in comments!)

Luckily, I have this blog that will allow me to post whatever I want. 

I am trying to get rolling on book #2.  In order for this to happen, I need to finish re-reading book #1 and take copious notes. My goal, which is what I was trying to post at the writing community, is to read at least two chapters a day. 

When I originally announced my goals, I was just getting ready to read Chapter 9.  That was on June 15th. 

Current Reading Location:    Chapter 12.  

Where I Should Be:    Chapter 17

As you can see, I'm not quite reading and documenting at the pace I should be.  Hopefully I'll find the time to get caught up because the fall semester is quickly approaching and my time will be even more limited when I start this second-to-the-last batch of graduate classes.

    Yeah, that activity thing is serving no purpose. Unfortunately, I can't get rid of it.

    I was surprised to find my blog entries there refused based on content. I was hoping to use that blog as a means of communicating writing-related topics, including goals and status updates, but apparently that's not going to happen. I must admit I'm a tad bit disappointed.

    Oh, well. At least, I've got this blog!

They saved the finger..

This was supposed to be an easy, carefree weekend.  One of those rare weekends where spontaneity is possible because plans were not made ahead of time.  We could lounge on the couch, work on our hobbies, or even do a little shopping.  And, no, I'm not referring to the necessary evil of grocery shopping, but the much more enjoyable version where you get to buy things that actually make you happy. Because the oldest boy needed some pants and the youngest could use a new pair of shoes, I decided to head into the city to do some shopping at Kohl's.  Of course, my decision to shop there was not quite so altruistic.  Mama needed a new bathing suit! So, I pack the kids up and head into the city.  The youngest picks out his shoes . The oldest tries on a few pairs of jeans and ends up with two in the basket.  Did I mention we have to shop in the men's department now?  That he's wearing size 29?  My baby is growing up! Then it was Mom's turn.  I was looking ove

Camping with Little Boys

  Our first travel trailer. I don't remember camping much with my family as a kid. This is likely because we always had the same vacation destination: a family plot in Baldwin, MI. There was no cabin there. Instead, there were two structures: a small, silver camper and an old single-wide trailer. The silver camper is gone but the single-wide still sits there and is used by extended family members to this day.  It wasn't until I was a teenager that my step-mom and dad bought a pop-up trailer and we started camping elsewhere in the state. My memory isn't the greatest, but I'm almost certain they got the pop-up after I started dating Ken. Eventually, my parents upgraded to a fifth wheel that my dad still pulls around to various nearby camping spots. Ken, by contrast, didn't have a set vacation destination growing up. His family camped. They started out with a truck-bed camper, I believe, and eventually upgraded to a fifth wheel.  Ken and I vacationed both in Baldwin an

It Should Be Our 28th Wedding Anniversary

I had to do the math twice. Probably because I'm really bad at math. Today should have been our 28th wedding anniversary. We only made it to 26, which is so impressive when you consider how many marriages end in divorce.  So, because I have no doubt in my mind we would have been married still today had cancer not taken him, I want to honor our special day. So, here's a Happy Should Have Been Anniversary to my hubby in heaven.  Today, as I recognize what should have been and think about what was, I figured I'd share not only some lovely pictures from our wedding day but I'd explain how this widow plans to move through October 15, 2022.  In just a little bit, I'm joining another Millington widow at a Widow's Luncheon, which is being hosted by the Amish Church in Millington. I'm a bit nervous, to be honest, because I don't know what to expect. On my best days, I consider mys
