It was during her sophmore year in college that our daughter Kate was given her own column in the college paper.
Recently she has taken up her blog and her latest project is cute...
Blogging about a new word every day..
Since she can't cook, her phrase, not mine, and since the written word has always been her friend, here is a brief look at her blog.
Also she has a great eye for pictures
Enjoy
"and i quote...the sequel"
THIS BLOG HAS BEEN HOST TO MANY OF MY PIECES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. TODAY, THOUGH, I AM INCORPORATING A NEW FACET OF MY WRITING EXPERIENCE. EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR I WILL BE WRITING A PIECE CENTERED AROUND A SPECIFIC WORD FROM MY 365 WORD A DAY CALENDAR. AND YES, THIS MAY SOUND SIMILAR TO JULIE/JULIA, BUT AS I CANNOT COOK AND WRITING IS MY PASSION, I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT BEST MOVE...DON'T WORRY MORE BOOK REVIEWS TO COME!

CONFABULATE

Confabulate

During college, if you were to ask any student if they have had a favorite or even just memorable professor, it’s safe to say that almost all of them will say yes and then launch into a lecture about what it was that made him or her in such awe of this glorified educator. My senior year of college, I was privy to one such professor that without a doubt made our class chuckle at one point or another during the course of the class.
One of the first days of the semester, after the syllabus had been handed out and reviewed (enough to make anyone sorry they could read), my professor broached the subject of papers and the proper etiquette in which they should be handed to her. She specified that all papers should be stapled and not paper-clipped because paper-clips were “horny little bastards,” and like to get stuck together and it was a pain in the ass to undo them. The whole class began to giggle after looking at one another just to make sure we had heard her correctly. “Horny Little Bastards”? Did I mention she had prefaced this by saying that this could in fact be used as useless cocktail party trivia. Imagine confabulating about that!
