Disrespecting parents (Prompt 18)

My views on disrespecting parents ... Well I think that parents should be shown respect. They are the people who brought us into the world, and if we're lucky, raised us and cared for us as we grew up. They are the people who changed our diapers, cleaned up after our messes, made our colds go away with crackers and Sprite. So disrespecting them is out of the question in my opinion. I know there are many people out there that do not have the best...

Three things you are proud of about your personality (Prompt 16)

So I've been trying to hash out this post for quite sometime, and I really don't know why it's so difficult for me to come up with just three things I'm proud about my personality. I think I have a twisted idea of the kind of personality I have, and I've taken to heart what people have said about it that I don't think it's all that. But here's what I've come up with ... 1. I know that I am a shy person, but I like that when I have to be outgoing,...

(Prompt 15) The best thing to happen to you this week

The best thing that happened to me this past week happened on Friday. It was a typical Friday and I made plans to go home for the weekend. I got a call from my mom in the early afternoon asking me to drive to Hobbs, N.M. instead of Lovington because one of our family friends was having a surprise birthday party. Of course I said I would go and I was looking forward to spending time with some of my favorite people and as a bonus my Aunt Susie was...

Something disgusting I do (Prompt 14)

A date I would love to go on (Prompt 13 out of 30)

A night under a blanket of stars, a bottle of wine (or beers) and a fire nearby ... 'nough said. I fancy myself a simple gal. I don't need a gourmet meal or anything extravagant.  But I am definitely a romantic, as much as I try to deny it, I am a hopeless, hopeless romantic.  The first line I wrote on top sounds like perfection. Me and a sweet guy grabbing a couple of blankets and heading out into the sticks away from everyone else...

My current relationship, if single discuss how single life is

I am single. I've been single most of my life. I guess I’m not big on relationships. I've never really been good at being in them. I feel like I am good at being single, it’s easy. Yes, it does get extremely lonely. And I think the older I’m getting the toll of the loneliness is setting in. I've never really cared about not having a boyfriend when I was younger, especially when I was in high school and then even more when I was in college. In high school I enjoyed being a kid. I did have a couple of puppy love flings, but it was never anything...

The Ex Factor

(Prompt 11)Things I want to say to an ex...You'd think that if I was the person who ended the relationship it'd be easy for me to move on, forget about the guy and keep living life? Evidentaly not. How have I managed to be so hung up on you and allow you to string me along, after all the lies you told me. After hiding the fact that you were in a relationship but still treated me like I was your one and only. How could you treat me...

Hugs Not Drugs

My Views on Drugs and Alcohol (Prompt 10) ... So I've never done drugs, but yes I've had alcohol. Drugs have never been attractive to me and I've never found people who do them attractive either. Maybe it’s because my parents (more my mom) scared me out of even considering trying drugs when I was growing up that I just didn't ever want to disappoint them. My dad always tells his story of how he’s never once in his entire life tried drugs and I guess...

I've Got Death on my Mind ...

My mom and I were chatting last night and the topic of discussion was death, well more the topic of funerals.  My mom is a bit of a weirdo and she’s always said that she hopes she doesn't live to be old, which old to her is 50, evidently (Not funny to me and my brother, BTW). She told me last night that she was going to write a “death book.” When I asked her what she meant she said she was going to write down the specifics of how she wanted...

American Sniper: A Movie-going experience I may never forget

(DON'T WORRY, NO SPOILERS) Many of you who know me well are aware of how much I enjoy watching movies and especially going to watch them in movie theaters. I've always said, besides my parents house and the Catholic church movie theaters have always made me feel comfortable, feel at home. Cinemas have always allowed me to open myself up to other ideas, gave me a view on how other people live their lives — though they may be fictional. It has always...
