It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult - Seneca


At The Movies

Shamelessly stolen from Sandra 1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times. Hmm, there are several but I’m going to go with The Fifth Element for this one. 2. Name a movie that you’ve seen multiple times in the theater. Easy one, I just recently saw Iron Man twice! 3. Name an actor that would make […]

Manic Monday

What is your ideal age? Good question. I’m not sure what I would call my ideal age. I guess that means I’m long past it and have forgotten or I haven’t gotten there yet. Take your pick! What is your best excuse for being late? I’m rarely late. I always try to leave plenty of time when I […]

Manic Monday

If you knew that every minute of the next 24 hours of your life would be recorded on camera is there anything you would change about your habits? I don’t think I’d change much of anything. I live a fairly transparent life. I try to be honest about who I am and what I believe. I […]

Manic Monday

If the statement, ‘You are what you eat’ was true, I would be a? Sadly, I would probably be a pizza or a cheeseburger. I eat far too many of each! If you had to have one piece of music (softly) playing in your mind for the rest of your life, what would you want it to […]

Thursday Thirteen: Movie Reviews

I’m focusing on structure and disciple. Not THAT kind of discipline (though I do enjoy reading Mistress Matisse… hmmm)! Rather, I’m just trying to establish good habits of writing on a more regular and predictable schedule. Although I missed Wednesday. I am only human after all. I’ve seen Shephard and Stacie do the Thursday Thirteen, so […]

Manic Monday

I’ve decided to start doing Lisa’s weekly meme, Manic Monday. It’s short and sweet and the questions tend to be interesting. So here goes… What name would you want have if you were the opposite sex? Tatyana… I had to provide e-mail support to a customer at work named Tatyana last week. It may be the […]

One Lonely Word

I said I was going to do this meme a week or so ago and have been so busy I hadn’t gotten around to it. The idea is to answer a series of questions with one word answers. I like these kinds of memes because they really make you think. And, unlike some people, I’m not going to cheat with hyphens… ;-)
