Gravity
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? I used to play a lot of Minecraft. My kids got me into it, and we’ve spent countless hours on there, literally hundreds, even through COVID, when we’d hop on our server and play and chat over Discord. There were…

Dream Home
Write about your dream home. It would have lots of sunlight… Trees all around… Like black walnut, and weeping willow… A lilac bush and a garden… But the best part of it would be the people that would be there. That’s what makes my dream house a home. 🙂 What would be in your dream…

If I Got Great News…
I’d share it! I’d be texting and calling my family. My friends. I’m not much of a social media sharer these days, but I keep in close touch with the ones that matter most to me. 🙂 What would you do?

Circus Peanuts
What’s your favorite candy? Spoiler alert- circus peanuts aren’t actually my favorite candy. But they have been on my mind a lot lately, and I’ve been eating them almost every day. Circus peanuts are old school! They are an American candy that’s marshmallow-y, fat, peanut-shaped, and orange. They taste like what I imagine styrofoam would…

Information/Breaks
Do you need a break? From what? We all need breaks from time to time. I’m finding lately that what I want a break from is information. There is so much. All the time. At our fingertips. And it’s not always good, or accurate. There are times too, when I just want to stop and…

A Perfect Day
What’s a perfect day like? A perfect day is waking up, having coffee, time for praying and meditating… reading… writing… eating toast… going for a walk… writing and reading some more… drinking more coffee… eating pizza for lunch… going to a bookstore… time with family and friends… time for arts and crafts… going out for…

Significance… and Perspective
There are 4 or 5 events that have a lot of significance to me. The birth of each of my 2 kids. My marriage. My divorce. The day I graduated nursing school in the middle of a pandemic. Those are the big ones. More than anything, those events show me how much I have to…

Favorite Foods to Cook-Cacio de Pepe
Pasta. Cheese. Pepper. Pasta water. That’s it! That’s all that goes into this dish. I love it so much, I could probably eat it every day. Along with pizza. But that’s another story. I’m an Italian girl (mom’s side), and chalk up my love of Italian food and obsession with pecorino romano to my ancestors.…

Meet the Commodore 64/128
Oh, she was a beast. My first computer, along with the printer, the disk drive (which took my all-time favorite, floppy disks), and all the rest of the stuff, was huge by today’s standards. A lot of it was the monitor. But I had a lot of fun on that computer. We had a game…
