Back to the Blog

Well, we're well into 2012, and it's time to get in gear with one of my resolutions: "write more."

So I spent a few hours today ordering, oddly, business cards for myself. A strange incentive, I know. But having a card that screams, in about five different ways, that I'm (trying to be) a writer - well, I think it just lends itself to making me (more of a) writer.

So, cards are ordered and new iPad is more than just a fantasy- I'm even closer than ever to pulling the trigger and making that major purchase.

Next on the list: get my butt in the chair and do some (more than ever) writing, dammit!

But as always...I'd rather be reading.

    As you can tell, I'm currently NOT writing, and instead reading . . .your blog! Good luck with the writing and if you find a magic button let me know. (This is Cindy C. SiSi is my secret name so I don't get caught up in all that supermodel drama.)

 Well. See above blog post of a couple of week ago. How fun! I was heading to Jerome, AZ, for my 2nd Annual Lew Wilson Remembrance Trip. I promised to write about a few topics, including travel and Millie. It never occurred to me that those things would merge, in a very scary way. There I was, sitting in a patient room at my vet's office, awaiting word about...but I'm getting ahead of myself.  Friday, July 18th     The plan was to meet a friend for lunch, make a quick shopping stop, then home. Dinner that night with my friend/pup-sitter, George, after which I planned to slip out, leaving Millie in his capable hands (with his dog, Snowy) for the weekend.  Things did not happen the way I planned it.  I got back from lunch around 3pm or so. Millie was not herself. To be more specific, her breathing was a bit labored, and she was looking at me like she was...scared, maybe. Or worried. Or asking me to help her.  I called George and asked him to come over, t...

Celebrating Sendak & Children's Book Week

What better time to think about Maurice Sendak than Children’s Book Week ( http://www.bookweekonline.com/ )?   Never met him, but he’s one of those icons, those amazing “I grew up with this book!” author/illustrators from our youth. And who hasn’t read his books to kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews? Lord knows I have. We all remember the big hoopla surrounding In the Night Kitchen, don’t we? How shocked we were when some library somewhere banned it? It was because the small boy, falling dream-like through the sky, was sporting the full (albeit teensy) monty. How hysterical to think of that now, right? Those were more innocent times, I guess. While I was working at Borders in Oak Brook, Sendak was developing his Where the Wild Things Are opera in Chicago. So one day, since I had to head to Chicago from the ‘burbs anyway, I brought along a poster of Where the Wild Things Are . Just in case I could get to the rehearsal studio, meet him, and get him to sign it. Amazin...

T hus, it begins: my new blog. I know, I know, we've been down this "Look, my new blog!" road before. My bad. But now that I'm retired (!), I'll stick with it more. Promise. What will you find here? Oh, stuff and nonsense. Meanderings and musings. Whatnot. Photos I'll take with the new camera I just bought like an optimistic dummy. Thoughts and crumbs and flotsam and jetsam. Poems - won't that be a shocker!  But first, I have to reacquaint myself to this thing called a blog. Posting an entry is all well and good, but I want to include photos and links and stuff like that.  You know - bloggy things. I figure it will include lots about Millie, travels I've planned (Vegas in October!), new creativity goals I have or may uncover or just do and foist upon unsuspecting readers. For now, stay tuned for my first official post as a newly retired Blogger Lady: my 2nd Annual Lew Wilson Remembrance Trip, to Jerome, AZ , next weekend.
