Each month, members choose books from their own shelves—no pressure, just progress—and have the option to follow a fun…
“To sleep, perchance to dream.” – Hamlet/William Shakespeare So apparently, Hamlet is speaking about death rather than actually sleeping and dreaming but it seemed like a fun way to intro this latest installment of 20 Days of Me. I’m not sure what this says about me but my dreams generally fall into one main category…
Day 10 of the 20 Days of Me… We’re halfway through the series and I don’t know about you, but I’m getting kind of hungry. Let’s have a snack! Favorite Snacks This is a tough one to answer. I like snacks. Lots of different kinds at different times of my life. So let’s do a…
It’s time for 20 Days of Me again!! Today is all about my first car. Let’s zoom on in, shall we? Initially I was thinking only about the first car that I bought myself but then I realized that the family cars I drove before that also held a lot of memories and I just…
Day 8 of the 20 Days of Me! They say you shouldn’t play favorites but sometimes I just can’t help it. It’s true. I may love all seasons (well, parts of all the seasons anyway 😂) but I do have a favorite. It may even be a cliche favorite but that’s okay because I…

Day 6 of the 20 Days of Me! Do you collect anything? I am a bit of a packrat so I am always collecting, even unintentionally. But I do have a couple purposeful collections. Of these, squashed pennies are the main one. What is it about these flattened pennies that makes me want them so…
Welcome to Day 5 of the 20 Days of Me series… What’s in my purse? Apparently this was a challenge going around on the internet back in 2010. I’m only a decade late to the party! But better late than never, right? My current purse is an Overland Equipment Donner Bag. I bought it to…
“You can choose your friends but you sho’ can’t choose your family.” Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird. The other thing you can’t choose is your nickname! Welcome to Day 4 of 20 Days of Me… What’s your nickname? My name is Mouse. This name was given to me in junior high by…
Day 3 – Music It’s time for another entry in the 20 Days of Me series. The “rules” for day 3 are to put my iPod (or MP3 player in this case) on shuffle and list the first 10 songs that come up. Are you ready? My MP3 is pretty much always set on…
