Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    A black and white self portrait I took when I was a nanny in Menlo Park, CA. I am in the fabulous house that I lived in, sitting on the fab couch. Those were the days. I don’t think I realized how good I had it at the time.

    For a time I tried to get back into photography and I bought some black and white film to play with. I think I was trying to finish off a roll of film with this photo. I don’t have any of the other photos from this roll. I wish I could remember which film I used.

    I can’t recall exactly when this was taken. I was probably 25 or 26. So 1994 or 1995.

    I am enjoying looking at these old photos.

  • Plinky Prompt: Name your top 5 writers

    June 19, 2012
    • Favorite Writers
    • 1. Cormic McCarthy
      2. Jess Walters
      3. Ian Mcewan
      4. Margarat Atwood
      5. Jennifer Egan

      So are we talking people who are still alive? Cause that’s what popped into my mind when I wrote those. There so, so many authors that are my favorites. I could never write down just five. Here are some others that are no longer with us:
      6. Nathaniel Hawthorne
      7. H.P. Lovecraft
      8. Edith Wharton
      9. Flannery O’Connor
      10. Kate Chopin
      11. Shirley Jackson
      12. and lots, lots more.

    I watched the documentary, “Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead” a few days ago and now I am inspired to go on a juice fast. I am on my way to buy a new juicer now. I won’t start the fast right away. I am going to give myself a week to prepare. I will let you know how it goes. You can find more information about juice fasting at RebootYourLife.

  • We found one

    June 17, 2012

    20120617-174011.jpg

    For something to do, we thought we would check out the Wildwood Trail in Portland. There is a half marathon on it later this year that I thought might be fun to run and we have never been there. It really is a beautiful park and almost hard to believe that it is right in the city. While we were there we searched for a geocache and actually found it! We looked for another one and didn’t find it. Instead we discovered an adorable neighborhood where parents give their children weird names.
