Hi! I'm Sandi! Turn-ons: I enjoy sushi, kittens, long walks on the beach, and fancy words with more than three syllables. Turn-offs: Bad drivers and people who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're"; "there", "they're" and "their"; ""to" and "too"; "lose" and "loose"... wait, this isn't a dating site? Sigh... I have enjoyed writing all of my life. My 5th grade teacher, Mr. Taylor (RIP), was the first person who told me I had a knack for it, and encouraged me to keep it up. At the time, I was writing poetry and children's stories. Two English teachers in high school also nudged me in the direction of creative writing. Until the birth of social media, I only wrote for myself or sent stories to family members via email. It wasn't until Facebook that I truly began to get into it. The feedback was so positive, that I began to wonder if I could actually introduce myself as "A Writer" someday. Fast-forward 10 years, and my friends and family began to wonder if someday would ever happen. Positive feedback and gentle nudging became outright demanding, and the best of friends took me out for coffee, drinks, and to lunch with the sole purpose of kicking my butt into gear. With the help of my tech-savvy daughter, I decided that creating a blog would be the perfect jumping-off place. If I land on my ass, I figure it will at least give me something interesting to write about...

Fireflies and other distractions

The view from my window is different.  I’m typically not a fan of change.  So I did not change rooms with an open mind.  But as I stretch out across the bed, in the tiny room, with the air conditioner cooling my feet, I stare out into the space between the buildings. In the morning, water drips in front of the window from an unknown … Continue reading Fireflies and other distractions

Room With a View

Funny thing about being a grown up… we don’t always realize our fears.  When we are children, we are clear about what frightens us.  The dark.  What is IN the dark.  What is under the bed in the dark.  The rational and irrational. I had a conversation with a friend recently about how fears (and other stuff) may just be built-in.  Imprinted on our DNA … Continue reading Room With a View

Food Baby

Reveal parties.  We’ve all seen them. The mother-to-be opens a box filled with either pink or blue balloons to let everyone know what’s growing in their belly. So… do they make pasta-salad colored balloons? Continue reading Food Baby

Bubble Girl

I love my patio/backyard. But about a week ago, I stopped going out there because of the herds of mosquitos (if you are not from Texas, I realize they are typically referred to as a “swarm”…however, if you could SEE our mosquitos, you would understand why I use the term “herd”). I don’t want to fog, because I hate killing all the other tiny beings … Continue reading Bubble Girl

Drunk blogging

So I’m flying. For real. I’m like 30,000 feet up. (I have no idea really but that sounds impressive) And guess what? I forgot to eat today. But they serve snacks. Peanuts. And something that resembles crackers . So I’m good. I’m washing it all down with cheap whiskey and ginger ale. Also cheap. And it makes the crackers taste worse. You know, I’m not … Continue reading Drunk blogging

There’s an emoji for that

Sometimes I get tired of taking the high road. Being the better person is far less satisfying than putting a flaming bag of poo on someone’s front doorstep. Evil deserves flaming poo. Just saying. Continue reading There’s an emoji for that

Hic-Hic Hooray!

Let me start by saying… my ONLY super power is that I can cure the hiccups. Sure, it doesn’t sound like much of a super power, but just ask anyone I’ve cured, and they’ll tell you I’m kind of a big deal. In college, people used to bring tough cases to me at my dorm, and I would cure them. (Not to brag, but the … Continue reading Hic-Hic Hooray!
