The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

Fun Stuff (I'm doing now or have done)

L is for Learning to Just Write: A to Z Blogging Challenge 2018

The A2Z Blogging Challenge for L is Learning to Just Write.

It's a lesson I need to ingrain. A lesson to drive away the excuses for not writing. 

But my computer is down for the count. Just Write. Paper and pen, smart phone, typewriter--all are available. Just Write.

But I won't be able to participate in the challenge if I write off-line.  Just Write. You can use the computer at the public library, your alma mater, work (after work hours), or an internet cafe  to post what you wrote off line.  Just Write.

But my spell check has started giving my previous typos as "correct" spelling--making editing a nightmarish chore. Just Write.  You still have a hard copy dictionary. Somewhere. So what if it takes longer. Just Write.

It takes time, practice, determination, and perseverance to learn anything. Writing well is no different. Take classes, attend workshops and conferences, join others with like minds. What ever you choose to do, Just Write.

But I'm behind. Again. And I just don't have the time. So catch up.  Make the time. Write a haiku waiting in the grocery line. Get up an hour early. Go to bed an hour later. All it takes is to...Just Write.

But I don't write well, or the conten is drivel--or any or any other "It's not good enough" thoughts.  Just Write. Do you honestly think everything has to be as weighty (and boring) as The Illiad?  There are so many genres to choose. Pick one. Or two. Make up your own. Turn Drivel into a genre. Just Write.
