Love, Love, Love

February is upon us, Valentine's Day is on its way. I can't believe it!

Time really has been flying--it's been a month since I last posted. As I have said before, I am a terrible excuse for a blogger. But somehow my inane rambling keeps getting posted on the internet...it's weird, right?

I had a thought today, since I have resolved to write more this year. I have already written more this year than last year--I wrote for almost two hours yesterday {I still can't believe it}. Unfortunately, none of that writing was on this blog. So, to remedy that, I am going to do something similar to my December posting. I am going to post every day until Valentine's Day about something I love. Probably mostly things, because no blog post is quite long enough for me to wax poetic enough about all of the lovely people in my life, and I would be too afraid I was leaving someone out. So it's going to be about non-people, unless I decide to change the rules, which I just might, because I can. So there.

But I'm thinking movies, books, songs, foods, shows, books, animals, items of clothing, books, wines, etc., etc. And I would LOVE to make it more of a conversation this time, so please comment, either below the post or on Facebook, and add to the love. Because I think we need a little more of it right now, especially on Facebook. 

To begin our parade of loves, I'm just going to leave this song here to inspire you and get those creative juices flowing. Because the song is true:  it's really all we need.
~Stay Gold!

Being Kinda "Knotty"

Image
I have a confession to make. I'm about to bore you to tears. Okay, maybe not literally, but I'm writing about something I find terribly exciting, and there are those of you, dear readers, who may not agree. So I'm giving you an out. Right now, just stop reading. Is anyone still there? Good. Because we're about to get "knotty." I love to knit. There, I said it. If I could do nothing but knit, read, write, and drink tea, I'd be a very contented person. Not exciting, just contented. I've been knitting for a few years now. I wish I could say I learned from my grandmother or something that sounds much better than "I learned from Youtube." Actually, that doesn't sound too bad--Youtube is pretty indispensable when it comes to knitting. You can watch videos of all the stitches, which makes it easier to catch on sometimes. Up until recently, though, my knitting has not been varied. I knit scarves (the essential beginner project). I've

Who do you think you are?

How much do you know about where you came from?  I'm talking big picture here, not what you know about your home town or state. Genealogically.  Most of us know stories that have been passed down. We know that our grandmother's family has Irish roots, for example, and that our several-greats-grandfather fought in the continental army or that our great-grandmother's cousin just disappeared and there was never any trace of him after the Crash of '29. But how much do we really  know about our ancestors?  I am a bit of a genealogy nut--most of my family seems to be--and I have an ancestry.com account, which has proved most interesting to peruse. But all I know are names and some dates--I don't know anything about the kind of people they were, what they liked or disliked. They had children--were they good parents? Did she have a special recipe that she made at Christmas? Did he have a hobby like whittling or playing the guitar? Were there places she alwa

Questions: Round 1

In my last post, I asked for questions from my readers. I didn't have ridiculously high expectations--not because I don't have faith in my readers!!! But I know that if I read somebody's blog and they invited me to ask questions, I would be very hesitant to do so. Nobody wants to be first. Nobody wants to think that the blogger (me) is sitting there, laughing out loud at the questions and judging the asker. I get it. I promise I understand. I only had one intrepid reader who gave me some fodder for my blog posts, which is fine. I actually was not surprised by the fact that this reader gave me so many questions to answer. Of course, to understand why, one must go back to our time at ISU when she was working a late shift at the Info Desk in the student center and I was sitting in our dorm room when a Facebook chat window popped up, begging for some kind of question/answer quiz she could take before she died of boredom. Add to that hours and hours of Sporcle quizzes (hence
