NoJoMo #24 - My house when I was a kid
Day Twenty Four: What was it like at your house as a kid? (Ex: Clean or messy? Quiet or chaotic? Empty or full?) Oh jeez. I could write a whole book on this one (who couldn’t?) but I’ll try to b...
NoJoMo Day #23 - First Love
Day Twenty Three: Who was the first person you fell in love with? Ah, sweet love. I married the first person I fell in love with. Maybe that’s why the marriage didn’t last. I was very young and...

NoJoMo Day #20 - Best Boss
Day Twenty: Who is the best boss you’ve ever had? Wow! Another hard one. I have been fortunate to have had several really wonderful bosses that I’ve loved. I also had one who was absolutely ho...
NoJoMo Day 19 - Least Favorite Family Member
Day Nineteen: Who is your least favorite family member? Why. Yesterday I joked that it would be easier to name my least favorite family member than to choose a favorite, but now that the question...
NoJoMo Day 18 - Favorite Family Member
Day Eighteen: Who is your favorite family member? Why? My first instinct is to skip this prompt. I don’t have a favorite family member. If I could have numerous “favorites”, I could respond, bu...
NoJoMo Day 16 - Typical Day
Day Sixteen: What’s your typical daily routine? Share some photos if you want. For the most part, my week days are pretty routine, but there are some variables. This is probably going to be pret...
NoJoMo Day 15 - Favorite Holiday
Day Fifteen: What is your favorite holiday and why? I decided to put the day’s topic in my heading because when I go back and look at the list of my entries I have no idea what the topic was on t...
NoJoMo Day 14 (w/note)
Note: I haven’t had time yet to fully absorb the terrorist attack in Paris, or to write about it. Certainly my heart aches for Paris and its people, and I have my opinions about how the world s...
NoJoMo Day 13
Day Thirteen: What is something you love to be gifted? Oooh let me count the ways! It’s hard to list just one. Jewelry would be at the top of my list. Sarah and David gave me a gold heart shap...
NoJoMo Day 12
Day Twelve: What are some traits and looks that you inherited from your mom? This one is easier to answer than the same question about my dad. I look a lot like my mom. In fact, a lot of my hug...
NoJoMo Day 11
Day Eleven: What are some traits and looks that you inherited from your dad? I have to think about this one. I never knew my biological father. My mother was not married when I was born, but sh...
NoJoMoDay 10
Day Ten: What is your favorite restaurant like? What do you eat there? What’s the decor like? I like a good pub restaurant. For the most part, I prefer locally owned restaurants and I avoid chai...
NoJoMo Day 9
Day Nine: What are some of your favorite hobbies? I would love to do really creative things – make artsy things to sell or give away, for example. But I’m really not very creative and not very t...
NoJoMo Day 8
Day Eight: What’s the best memory you have before age 15? Hmmm. How to choose “the best” memory? I’m fortunate to have at least several in the competition here. I also have some pretty bad mem...
NoJoMo Day 7
Day Seven: What do you consider to be your strongest characteristics? While “strongest characteristics” aren’t necessarily “best or most admirable characteristics” that is how I will interpret it...
NoJoMo Day 6
Day Six: What do you consider to be your biggest character flaws? Wow. This one requires a little bit of thought. I have a lot of flaws, because I’m human. So, let me count the ways. I think o...
NoJoMo Day 5
Day Five: What are your favorite comfort foods? This is a bit of a challenge for me to answer, because I’ve been transitioning away from my old way of eating and into healthy choices, no eating b...
NoJoMo - Day 4
Day Four: What was the last vacation you took? Well this is one that I can respond to with enthusiasm. A few months ago I went to Iceland with my daughter, son-in-law and then-14 month old grand...
NoJoMo 2015 - Day 3
Describe the last time you danced. I know it’s been way too long since I danced. The last time I remember, was at my daughter’s wedding in 2006. What a fabulous day that was! But a lot of the ...
Nov. 2 - NoJoMo Day 2
Day Two: What was the last thought you had before falling asleep last night? I really don’t remember. I listen to my hypnosis MP3 as I’m falling asleep so it was probably something along the lin...
NoJoMo 2015 - Day 1
I’ve never participated in this before, nor have I ever done a survey on PB or OD. Just not really my thing. To be honest, I rarely read surveys that other people do, either. It’s not that I d...
If anyone knows "Saving Barbie"
One of my friends here on PB is Saving Barbie. She’s had a lot of health issues and she hasn’t written in a few weeks, which isn’t like her. I’m worried about her. If anybody knows her or has ...

This is a continuation of the diary I’ve had for many years at Open Diary. I am a 60 year old woman who still feels like I’m in my 30s. I’ll update this little CV later – for now it’s just to get started.
