WELCOME TO: GEMINI RISING ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() UPDATED INTRO 28 MAY 2024: Just a little about me. I've been married for 32 years this past NOV and currently live in Southern California, but I grew up in New Hampshire. I've got 2 boys who are young adults. I work as a 911 dispatcher for LAPD. I enjoy my job a lot. Still. If you can believe that. I love to write. Thankfully both of my boys achieved Eagle Scout. My Scouting days are over and I'm back to focusing on my writing. I like to get out in nature, drink coffee and watch football. Here's a little bio about my zodiac. GEMINI: Gemini, the sign of the Twins, is dual-natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. On the one hand it produces the virtue of versatility, and on the other the vices of two-facedness and flightiness. The sign is linked with Mercury, the planet of childhood and youth, and its subjects tend to have the graces and faults of the young. When they are good, they are very attractive; when they are bad they are more the worse for being the charmers they are. Like children they are lively, and happy, if circumstances are right for them, or egocentric, imaginative and restless. Their good qualities are attractive and come easily to them. They are affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, and thoughtful towards the poor and suffering - provided none of the activities resulting from expressing these traits interferes too greatly with their own lives and comforts. Geminians can be successful in many walks of life though their general characteristics tend to make them unreliable. They are often skilled manipulators of language, in speech and writing, and may be: debaters, diplomats (though in politics they are more interested in theory than practice), orators, preachers (brilliant rather than profound), teachers, authors, poets, journalists, or lawyers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is me. I am a Gemini. Pure, Raw, passionate. The NEW focus of this blog is to share my adventures, travels, random thoughts, book reviews, thoughts, opinions, and writing adventures from actual writing, writing/editing tips, marketing, research. I'll get there. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() BLOG ACCOMPLISHMENTS: SEPTEMBER 2024: I participated in the

Thought I'd share some random misc thoughts today before I gotta go nap before going to work. CHEESE I like cheese. Mind you, I'm not a fan of the smelly cheeses. Right now I'm eating a Fritos mild cheddar with my chips and really enjoying a quick snack. My favorite I suppose is mozzarella, but I like asiago on my bagels. Bruschetta anyone? I haven't had that in a while. PARTY CAKE PEEPS So I found these at the Ralphs today and brought home a pack. Not quite my Dr. Pepper peeps, but I haven't been to Walmart in a bit. Me and Andy tried a peep and the damn thing was so sweet it made me pucker. I'll have more about peeps in upcoming blogs... HAMBURGER SOUP So it rained a lot today in So Cal and I made hamburger soup for lunch. It was simple but perfect for the day. I'm staying on track with the Weight Watcher goals and the needle has moved a lil but I'll report more in a bit. BASKETBALL Well the NBA doesn't have much left to the season. I'm not a big basketball fan, but I follow when I can. My favorite team is the Celtics, having grown up in New Hampshire. I like the Clippers and Zubacs - never was much of a fan of the Lakers, but I like them more now that they have Luka Doncic. He has to be my favorite player. I got his Mavericks jersey when they announced the trade. Still not a LeBron James fan, but I'll watch the Lakers for Doncic. Can't wait to see what shakes out with March Madness Collegewise with basketball. Last year the USC women's team made it to the Sweet 16 and being a USC fan, that was exciting. I'll be sharing more basketball thoughts as March & April wear on. Question: Why kind of soup do you enjoy when it's raining out? And if you have a favorite Basketball team or player, give them a shout out! See you later... Steph |
