I am a jack of many trades, but a master of none.  At least that’s what my mother says. I am also just like every other person on this increasingly crowded planet.  I wake up in the morning, take the kids to school, and spend the rest of the day working and trying to decide which bills are getting paid and which are not.  In the mists of all the chaos I’m trying to practice two skills I find great joy in: painting and writing.  Both are just hobbies since I make no income from either of these great joys, at least not yet.  However, like many hobbies my works and works in progress are metaphorically sitting on a shelf collecting dust.  So, I am creating this blog as an outlet for “The Random Musings of My Sporadic Mind.”  You know the saying I’m sure; use it or lose it.  I hope you all find it entertaining at the least.

Initially, the image of someone trapped under a building popped into my head until it was clarified later. Then their conversation style took some getting used to because Jaxi, the talking sword, jumps into thoughts and conversations, sometimes without warning.  Quick Review:  The book st...

Halloween Havoc

Blood, guts, maggots, and brains are flashing before my eyes as I surf the web in search of ways to keep a group of preteens entertained at the Halloween party.  Today’s kids are so exposed to horror movies and scary music that the things that would have sent chills down my spine at their age are ‘simply child’s play.’  When I was a little girl “Night Mare on Elm Street” horrified me.  In our house at the time we had a long dark hall way.  My older brother, doing his duty as an older brother took it upon himself to hide in the rooms along the hall where I couldn’t see him; when I would pass he would jump out of the rooms behind me yelling “Freddy’s coming” which of course sent me screaming down the hall because I thought Freddy Kruger was after me.  In my defense I was only nine.  My children on the other hand watched that movie and laughed at the special effects.  They become more desensitized with every new horror movie produced now days.  I...
