Everyday GA

First of all, thanx to all that gave me noms for the awards. Blew me away. So sweet.   I was blown away when I read an entry from a member that had been a victim of a scam. She wasn't sure if she should have posted it here, but several came to her aid. Once again, kudos GA. You assist your members, regardless and give them priceless tips. It amazes me.   I haven't blogged lately because my life has been total chaos, but it will even out. I'm confident of that.   So much has happened here t

A challenge and a half

As many know I love to cook, and I love watching Masterchef.   I enjoy Masterchef Australia, and am looking forward to Masterchef South Africa starting next week.   One thing I've always wanted to do is create one of the amazing desserts seen on Masterchef Australia. So God help me, I'm going to be attempting one of the most intricate desserts I've ever seen - Peter Gilmore's Snow Egg (see pic below).   I’ve eaten the Snow Egg at Peter Gilmore’s Quay restaurant in Sydney before, so at lea

Great trip

Got back last night - very tired but also with a ton of great memories.   I didn't bring my nice camera on this trip and looking back, I'm glad. A lot of things were first time experiences, and I was able to use my iPhone to capture a few, without feeling obligated to lug the bigger camera around and seeing too much through the camera lens rather than in person.   We made a late start of Friday but it helped avoid traffic so - meh. We ate in Sacramento before heading down and got into San

Second Chances

We don't always get second chances nor do we always take advantage of the first one. I guess that is the theme of my 28 year on this planet. You see I don't belive in New Years Resolutions. Why let some random date dicate when you make changes in your life. (Sure we should be doing that everyday) So I chose one viatal to me, my birthday. I have made a list of things I don't want to waste any more not time doing....well for the most part, a few are just to oblige me to do things I should but don'

Oh Christmas card, oh Christmas card, I got you in February.

Well, some people on here know I enjoy mail. Not junk mail or bills, God knows everyone gets enough of that stuff, but actual mail. You know cards and postcards. Well, to be honest, I am sort of a one man army to keep the post office open and in business.   I have friends from all over the world. When I send cards they go from Connecticut to Texas, from England to South Africa, and from Germany to India.   Now let me say this, there are post offices that work and some that don't. I mail thi

A Short Hiatus!

So, good news and bad news. Bad news is that I'm going to need a short break to be able to write, and good news is that I plan to write SO much while I am away. I wanted to at least address the people who follow my stories and wanting to know what the hold up was. The reason behind my short hiatus is mainly due to the fact of so little material that is written. I want to be able to write as much as I can without feeling like there is a deadline. I like to take my time to write and not feel rushe

A Point of View...

Children and adults

I've just been re-reading Second Wind, by Mickey S, about a guy, Joey, who has a very young child, Connor, and a new boyfriend, Ben, who he's only known a few months: "Although I teased Ben about his ulterior motives about getting a crib for Connor, I was thrilled with the idea. I wanted some 'alone time' with Ben in his bedroom as much as he did. But I was even more pleased about what his thought meant. I had heard single parents complain about the problems of dating when you have kids. It w

Some Winter Tips from a New Englander

Seriously, after reading about how bad the South has taken "Winter", I am quite surprised and shocked at how people don't get common sense concepts to us New Englanders.   So, I thought I would share some basic winter tips from New Englanders to GA members down south, so you guys don't become stuck:   1. Take your time and don't rush, when walking- I know Southerners might never heard of the dreaded "black Ice" that we have in Boston and New York, but Ice can be invisible to the eye and on s

Life's been too busy

Hey y'all, I hope that you all are doing well and that you had a great holidays with your family! Happy belated New Year! It has been a year and a few months since I last time blogged here. My life has been to busy- juggling my education (had graduated already, yay!), job, and family/friends. My girlfriend and Alex (my son) are doing well, and we enjoy our family time.

Overall better

So - still really looking forward to the trip this weekend (San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Monterey). Every thing is set - I've got a friend staying at the house to watch the dogs, reservations are made and kinda packed. Ok, I have to do a couple of loads of laundry today and tomorrow, not only clothes for the trip but also clean sheets for the guest bed. The friend is the only one that's used it, but I figure fresh sheets are the least I can do. He loves coming over, both because he is a big

Wacky Wednesday: Interview With Cassieq

I think one of my favorite things about the GA News Blog is when we have the opportunity to get to know the many authors that can be found on the site. Today is one such day as Myiege came to me not to long ago and told me that they had interviewed one of our newest Hosted Authors, CassieQ. Myiege asked if I would be interested in the interview for use in the GA News Blog and I instantly said YES!   Cassie has also agreed to hang out for a "Blog Chat" from 8pm-9pm Eastern Standard Time on Wedn

Writing? Well a bit

My life in the past two years has been sort of a roller coaster ride. One moment there is a clear road ahead, the next there are so many problems I think dynamite couldn't solve it.   Anyway things have slowed down in the issue department, at least momentarily. I presently have one story that I began to post, Last Christmas. I also have managed to do a prompt a week so far this year and am grateful that something is getting out.   Tonight I finished a story that I have had off and on since O

Lost for words

Finished ward round this morning with the on call registrar, about ten o'clock.   Acute oncology ward, 18 kids in total, with 7 of those being new admissions this morning. I had lots of scans and blood tests to request, a few referrals to be made, and my own notes to update.   I finally finished just before noon, when the duty nurse informed me that one of the kids (a 13 year old boy called Jason, who has late stage cancer) had gone to the toilet about half an hour prior and hadn't come bac

I can't believe it's already Sunday. I don't know about everybody else, but this week has just seemed to go by so quickly and it's hard to believe that January is almost over already.

Based on the comments, many other readers also thoroughly enjoyed the story. If you haven't already checked out Louis' review, I su
