Writing Prompt #16

#16 How could you modify a school bus to make the ride to school a more enjoyable experience?

I am not in school anymore but my hubby is in the room with me and shouted Tacos! I think I'll go with that idea.

My younger self would have been cool with that except that food on a bus is never a good idea. The bus driver never allowed us to have food on the bus. Candy was already a risk.

Anyways lets say safety is not a factor. I would have had a breakfast bar. So many kids, even in my relatively affluent county, had difficulty with breakfast. Some would have the discounted breakfast at school before the day started. Why not allow that on the bus on the way there. It would certainly save time.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

I have a feeling 2020 will be an amazing year. It started out interesting but most years do. This is also the beginning of the next decade. 

I would love to take you through the major milestones in my life that happened in the last decade.

2000- My first move. Started at a new school.
2001- A terrorist attack that changed the country.
2003- Graduated Middle school
2004- First date ever
2007- Graduated high school
2014- Graduated College with Magna Cum Laude honors.(Took me a while to get this one done)
2016- First major car accident
2018- Got Married
2019- Moved across the country to join my husband.

I don't care what anyone says. I accomplished a lot in just 10 years. 

I hope this next decade involves many new adventures. I hope for children and I already know we will be moving at least 3 more times. 

See you in the next post.

One year later

I can't believe its been nearly a year since my last blog post.

HOLY COW!

A lot has happened since I have been away from this blog.

Shortly before my last Writing Prompt I got married on December 15 2018. We are about to celebrate our first anniversary. No kids but we got a cat named Neptune. Princess Nep-Nep for short, though my hubby tells me to stop calling her princess.

I plan to do more writing prompts once the holidays are over. I have answered some of them but have not had the time to type them up. My YouTube channel has been on the back burner this year too. Marriage is a big change. I had to let life take its course and adjust to the changes. (A separate post on that later).

I hope 2020 is filled with more writing and music. We are moving to our new assignment next summer and I am weirdly excited about it. I am not allowed to say where but it will surely be warmer than where I am now. A few years ago I would have been really scared of all the moving. I am excited for new places and the adventures that will unfold. This city had a candy unique to the area. I wonder what new foods and places I will get to see in the next city. I am also excited to see the sites and learn more about US history first hand as we are still on the East coast for the time being.

See you all in the next post.

Writing Prompt #15

#15 Create your own superhero. What special powers would this hero possess? How would he or she use those powers? What would his or her name be?

My fiance decided to help with this one. 

Our hero will be female of the Amazonian build similar to Wonder Woman(trademarked). Her powers would be a combination of incredible strength and martial arts abilities as well as the ability to control the mind but only for purposes of a peaceful outcome. Basically she can only use her psychic abilities if her desire is for a resolution with less carnage. 

Her name is Sara Bella.

Writing Prompt #14

Who is your favorite cartoon character?

I have not watched cartoons in a really long time but back in the day one of my favorites was Doug. He was relatable back when I was in school. In the present time, I watch some animated films and I have quite a few favorites from those too. Merida from Brave is one of my favorite princesses of the Pixar/ Disney line. Followed closely by Belle. I know Belle had a Stockholm syndrome but the fact that she loved to read and grow her knowledge is what makes me connect with her as a character. Merida on the other hand is a strong Scottish princess that is forced to be a prize in a series of contests. They have to fight for her hand in marriage. I just love that they decided to make a movie about a Scottish princess.
