On Writing……

March 7, 2011 by Elaine

I used to write a lot in high school.  Poems mostly and a few short stories here and there.  I always liked writing, even papers about books that we had to read in school.  I never won (or even entered I don’t think…) any writing contests but I do remember one poem I wrote that…

At The Ocean

March 4, 2011 by Elaine

Water gives life. It also takes it away. Write a short piece – fiction or non-fiction – inspired by one or both of these statements. I sat at the edge of the surf, just in the right spot for the water to hit my feet every time the tide came up. The sand was cooler…

Technology – You Capture

March 2, 2011 by Elaine

It seems as if TECHNOLOGY kinda helps us get through our mornings around here. Especially THIS machine.  It makes my coffee and FAST.  It also makes lattes, cappuccinos and hot tea. Cocoa too. I ADORE this machine.  This is what my “work station” looks like on any given day.  iPhone, laptop, little boy socks (REALLY…

Park Date

March 2, 2011 by Elaine

“Baby” K (that name isn’t going to work much longer, is it?) turned 17 months old yesterday. We “celebrated” with a little trip to the park with our friends.  And snacks. And well, you know, Mardi Gras beads had to come along too… K has definitely entered the “language explosion” phase and pretty much every…

I Hate That Room

March 1, 2011 by Elaine

This week’s prompt:Think of a room from your past.  It can be any type of room at all. Take a mental picture of that room. What happened there?  What is it like?  What is the atmosphere there?  What are the smells, the sounds, the sights?  How does it feel? ************************************************************** I stood in the sterile hallway…

“BEES!”

February 28, 2011 by Elaine

Mardi Gras season has begun in Louisiana which means that my living room floor will be littered with Mardi Gras beads for the next few months.  That is until they break and/or I throw them away.  Whichever comes first. We joined some friends at the Krewe de Chienes parade on Saturday afternoon.  Chien means “dog”…

Movies for Sale…

February 25, 2011 by Elaine

The prompt? We want you to imagine you’ve just had a fight with a friend, a co-worker, husband, significant other, child – you get the picture. You’re mad. It’s time for revenge. What would you sell? Write a humorous listing for eBay or Craig’s List. Talk about the history of the items, why they must…

“L” is For… (You Capture)

February 24, 2011 by Elaine

I’m still joining You Capture this week even though I’m a day late and a few pictures short.  But on well, better late than never, as they say, right? He was trying to make her LAUGH. It worked. 😀 This was my LUNCH the other day. I know, it looks more like breakfast but no,…

Banged Up – WW

February 23, 2011 by Elaine

Baby K does have a small bruise to the right of her chin where she took a little tumble over the weekend… However, what I’m really referring to is her hair…. notice anything different? Yeah, Tim and I decided on Sunday night to trim her bangs so that hair would no longer be in her…
