The Loss of Prince and Amy
On the day Prince died, a little girl named Amy was murdered in a bathroom at her high school. I want to apologize to Amy that I did not give her the attention she deserved. I was too busy thinking about my lost youth and how Prince had been a large part of my teenage soundtrack. While I was reminiscing about my high school boyfriend you were being beaten to death at your high school. I’m not sure what the connection is I’m trying to make but it is extremely sad that while an entire generation was thinking about the joys of first love you were dying for one. It’s…

Shotgun Wedding
Living in Appalachia hearing the word honorable makes me think of a shotgun wedding. The ones where a young girl’s daddy, who just happens to be cleaning his hunting rifle, asks the boy if he is planning on doing the honorable thing and marrying his daughter. My daughter’s were a big fan of Zoey 101 when they were growing up. For those of you who don’t know, Jamie Lynn Spears (Brittany’s little sister) was the star. When she got pregnant as a teenager the show was cancelled. I find it interesting that on her first album release she has this song all about her “Shotgun Wedding” Today’s Just Jot It…

Guest Post: Vinny and Chiquita Bites
Today, I have a guest blogger/reviewer, my daughter, Beth. You can find her blogging over at Glitter Attitude Thank you, Eclectic Evelyn, for letting me be a guest blogger to talk about the proper care of small dogs. I own two dogs Chiquita is a Pomeranian Chihuahua (Pom-Chi) and Vinny is a Pomeranian mix. Chiquita has major aggression and is very territorial like most female pom-chis, Vinny is timider and tends to bow down to her partly because he is a rescue dog and partly because she was here first and she lets him know it. Pomeranians and Chihuahuas are known to be territorial and sometimes quite aggressive. So to…

Expect the Unexpected #SoCS
Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “expect/unexpected.” Use either or both words in your post, or simply base your idea on them. Have fun! “Expect the unexpected.” she said reaching for a condom. “Don’t worry about tomorrow, there is only now.” he said smothering her in kisses. “Congratulations! It’s a girl” the midwife said. “Expect the unexpected.” she said stashing the money in a coffee can. “Don’t worry about tomorrow, there is only now.” he said pocketing the money after she left the room. “sleep little baby” she softly sang as she rocked the baby and waited for him to come home. …

Amber’s Hands
Just woke up a few minutes ago. Trying to get myself together to get my day going. Fleeting memories of Amber’s hands pass through my peripheral vision. They look rough from years of dishes. She says they are scarred now because she shoots up in her hands. Those tiny little perfect hands that look like generations of women’s hands in my family. Our hands look like Momaw’s and probably her Momaw’s. Long piano fingers everyone calls them even though none of us play the piano. Long fingers with perfectly shaped nails that grow long and strong. Hand model’s hands except for the wear. Years of dishes and babies and husbands…

Review – Bounty with Dawn
Through my participation in BzzAgent, I recently was selected to try the new Bounty with Dawn paper towels for free in exchange for my unbiased review. I come from a long line of Bounty user’s and was very excited when I was picked by BzzAgent to try out the new Bounty with Dawn. This new paper towel is the same strong absorbent “quicker picker upper” that we have all known and love with the awesome cleaning power of Dawn built right in. Yes, the Dawn is made into the paper towel. No need for additional cleansers with these paper towels. You just get them wet and the…
