I am weirdly spontaneous and a planner all at the same time. I love just deciding to spring things on Snake. But I need the idea of planning for the future as well.
Continue reading “M is for (And the) Moment is Gone”B is for Booty
I really do enjoy my morning pictures from Snake. I can’t usually share them online, but once in a while I get one that I can.
Continue reading “B is for Booty”Sweet Surrender….
Once again, she wants to start a game. To see how much torment can be doled out.
“Yes. You do not have permission, of course, and we’re going to test that…”
Continue reading “Sweet Surrender….”D is for Double Vision
A little red dress, a hotel mirror and some edits…
Continue reading “D is for Double Vision”R is for Road Trip
They had been driving all day and had another full day to go tomorrow before they got to his parent’s house. It was pretty, but it was getting tedious.
Continue reading “R is for Road Trip”Sometimes, Collaboration Gets… Out of Hand
I’ve been writing this post for a while now. I have this idea in my head, and I keep writing, putting it down in the post and then pausing to re-read it. It seems like every time I do, you just happen to be there sneaking a look.
We finally sneak into the room, avoiding crowds. It’s been an incredible dinner – so much amazing and tasty food – just enough that we’re full, but not enough that it’s uncomfortable. And that wine… it was perfect. We’ve been wandering the grounds, looking at the clear sky and all of the stars, and even catching some of the shooting stars that happen to be whirling by tonight.
Continue reading “Sometimes, Collaboration Gets… Out of Hand”J is for June Prompt
As the days get longer and the sun gets warmer, summer is definitely almost here in the Northern Hemisphere. School is ending and there seems to be more time to relax.
Continue reading “J is for June Prompt”I is for Irish Nachos
Mexican food is definitely the thing we eat the most here in the Southwest. But, there’s just something about potatoes…especially those covered in cheese and bacon. Mmm…
Continue reading “I is for Irish Nachos”S is for Sunbathing
There’s nothing quite as nice as kicking back and having a drink with the sun warming your skin.
Continue reading “S is for Sunbathing”M is for Mischief
As we were walking along the trail, a stone came down on my head. “Ow!”
Continue reading “M is for Mischief”R is for Running Late
The traffic was bumper-to-bumper and the extra half hour they had given themselves was quickly going away. They were going to be late for the show at this rate.
Continue reading “R is for Running Late”H is for Home
Home is where I feel at peace and happy. Snuggled here on the couch with Snake is just a wonderful place and one of my favorite ways to wind down before bed. Mmm…
Continue reading “H is for Home”S is for Searching
I saw a quote online today that basically said that as a parent you are expected to guide someone else while still trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up.
Continue reading “S is for Searching”D is for Double
When we go to a hotel, it’s always fun to play with the mirrors. This photo was a reflective one that I sent to Snake as a good morning.
Continue reading “D is for Double”Sunrise, Sunset Bootcamp (2)
I really love these life out-takes. I learn, every single time, something more about how you’re thinking, and that whole “anticipatory service thing” we’ve read and talked about. I mean, it’s impossible, really, to know what you want and like until I’ve seen it. Tasted it. Done it.
But that’s also half the fun. Just when I think I’ve gone just far enough, that I don’t want to presume or whatever other excuse is on my mind, you up the ante or change the rules or just flat out stop something that has been a thing before, but now, simply won’t do.
Continue reading “Sunrise, Sunset Bootcamp (2)”B is for Books
Books have been my best friend for as long as I can remember. My mom, who did love to read, could never understand why I’d spend summers reading rather than being outside with the other kids.
Continue reading “B is for Books”W is for Wish
“What should I wish for?” He turned to see her holding a dandelion between her fingers.
Continue reading “W is for Wish”D is for Distraction
I try hard to not interrupt Snake while he’s working–until I feel like it’s time for him to take a break. And then I can be so distracting….
Continue reading “D is for Distraction”Honor is a Strange and Important Thing
Honor may seem like a strange word when it comes to the world of TTWD, but it truly is a core underpinning. I was considering how this might weave into all of this that we all write, read and live about, and it occurs to me that honor is really the base of being able to do these things and make them what you need.
Continue reading “Honor is a Strange and Important Thing”R is for Reflect
Mirrors and candles are some of our favorite props. This one added a vase for a little extra reflection.
Continue reading “R is for Reflect”S is for Sewing
“Jess!” I heard my name called down the hall. He sounded frantic and I ran into the bedroom.
Continue reading “S is for Sewing”Truth… or dare?
“What?!?” I ask… not really sure I even heard you right. Just out of the blue, sitting around binging that latest show, you turned and looked at me.
“I said, truth, or dare?” You hold my gaze, waiting.
I’m not sure I really want to play this game… In fact, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to. Let’s be real. My history with games, and getting any kind of a win, is pretty slim.
“I don’t suppose I can pass?” I ask hopefully.
You giggle. “Nope.”
Continue reading “Truth… or dare?”O is for Onward
“Would you like the check?” he asked as he picked up the empty glass left by her companion. She could tell he was thinking she had been dumped and left with the bill.
Continue reading “O is for Onward”Little of This, Little of That
Just a drop of light, a hint of shadow and a loose strap.

It’s Saturday and my wish for you?
