writer’s workshop – these three things

by 4 Comments


Welcome to this weeks edition of Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop! If you’re not sure what Mama Kat’s Workshop is, go ahead and check out her blog!

This weeks topic:

What are three things that we would love to know about you.

I’m not gonna lie. My day has been out of control busy today so I chose an easy easier topic.

So three things that I haven’t said before that I I think you would love to know:

1. Food creeps me out. Especially meat. I cannot cook meat. I hate knowing that what I’m eating was at one point alive. This is why I cannot watch cooking shows. Luckily, as of recent, BF has been cooking for me. {see, if it’s cooked for me, and I don’t see it being cooked, I can eat it} but when I am left to find my own source of nutrition, I end up eating fresh fruits in veggies. Why? Because I am ultra-conscious of the food industry and their lack of awareness for the food-eating population.

2. I have had two full break stress fractures in each of my legs for the last 16 years. The doctors always told me I was having horrible growing pains. So my senior year of high school I demanded a bone scan and sure enough I had had multiple re-breaks over the course of my life. They will never heal because they have been broken for so long. So I just have to deal with it.

3. I think that Robert DeNiro is one of the sexiest men alive. Especially circa Deer Hunter… SIGH. Gor-GEOUS!

Hope that you all have learned something about me from this! {Other than I am a gimp who loves old men but hates food}.

writer’s workshop: what makes me paranoid

by 5 Comments

It’s Thursday so that means it’s time for Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop!
today’s topic – what are you paranoid about?

I wouldn’t say that I’m paranoid necessarily. It’s more or less obsessive-compulsive behavior in regards to time and time management.

I set three alarms every night, for example. Why? Because I’m terrified that I’ll accidentally turn the first one off in the middle of the night (for no reason whatsoever), that I’ll accidentally turn the second one off in the morning instead of hitting snooze, and the third is set in case the snooze doesn’t go off.

When the clocks changed this past Spring, I wasn’t used to having so much sun come through the window in the early morning so I sprung out of bed an hour before my alarm was set to go off and freaked out cause I thought I was late for work. I still find myself waking up in the middle of the night, reaching for my phone to check the time. BF doesn’t get it. He probably thinks I’m nuts and I can’t say I blame him.

This is hardly the extent of my obsession with time. Others include: being at least 30-minutes early for everything (work, social events, dinners, parties, etc); detailing my life in two (yes, TWO) planners to make sure my I’ve allocated enough time to each commitment; and I balance my check ledger about 5 times a day.

I don’t believe in being fashionably late. Promptness is perfection.

writer’s workshop – when i will be happy

by 4 Comments


Time for this weeks edition of Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop! The prompt that I have chosen today is:

3. I’ll be happy when ______.

I’ll be happy when I wake up and I can get this secret off my chest. I know this is probably the most lame answer I have ever given (and quite possibly the most lame post ever) but I just need to be able to get it out there! And I can’t. And it’s killing me. It’s not that I’m even trying to be suspenseful… (cause let’s face it. If I could, I would have just spilled the beans on Monday). I just can’t. And I’m bummed.

writer’s workshop – aspirations

by 4 Comments

It’s time for Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop!

2. What do you aspire to be?

The only thing I can aspire to be is a better person. I am growing. I make decisions every day. I have made some mistakes in the past, but the only thing I truly want to do with my life is to be a good person and to know that I have done my best.

Every day I see people who inspire me. BF is one of those people who makes me want to be a better person. It sounds cheesy, but it’s true. I’m going to keep this short today.

So, in closing, I aspire to be a better person. Everyday. I hope you’ll join me on my journey!

Writer’s Workshop – Current Addiction

by 7 Comments


This is my first installment of Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop!

2. Name your current addiction …. we can get through this together.

“My name is Rachel, and I’m a pita-a-holic.”

BF is going to stage an intervention. Even my manager at work says that it is a problem… he walked past my car in the parking lot and saw a package of pita bread sitting on my front seat. He laughed and said an intervention would soon be necessary.

I don’t know why I love pita bread so much. Yesterday I had pita bread for breakfast. Tuesday I had pita bread as an afternoon snack. Monday I had pita bread before dinner.

I have an addiction to pita bread.

I don’t even require anything to dip it in or to eat with it. Straight up pita (maybe a little toasting, if possible) is all I truly need.

If anyone has any advice on how to overcome (pita)addiction, please let me know.
