This was a tag from Bella back in the beginning of January, which I'm not finally getting to. (Congratulate me, friend! Two blog posts in March!) It was supposed to be a New Year's Tag, but since I'm so late, it's going to be a "2015: A Summary" tag. So whatever.
1. What was the single best thing that happened last year?
Um, let's see. Honestly, probably going to Carmel and visiting a couple of the missions. That was such a wonderful and epic trip. My older sister and I went for three days and it was just really lovely. Plus, the ocean was gorgeous! (I think I might love the ocean.)
2. What was the single most challenging thing that happened?
I had a two-day jury summons, waiting while the judge and attorneys tried to decide on jurors.
3. What was the most memorable thing?
Christmas. Christmas was definitely the most memorable thing about last year.
4. What did you get really, really excited about?
'Kay, I was able to go to this thing called WordWave, where I got to meet an agent from Fuse Literary. That was really cool and exciting and SO helpful for my query and synopsis.
I was also excited to hear that Prison Break is getting a new season. YAY! :-)
5. What song/album will always remind you of 2015? Josh Groban's STAGES CD. Especially "What I Did For Love" and "Dulcinea."
6. How did you spend your Christmas? Epicly! (Epically?) We had Midnight Mass privately up near where we live, and we got some pretty awesome snow Christmas Eve, so we had these huge soft drifts everywhere, and there was a full moon that night, so I wished on it. Christmas is always glorious in our house. We light the Christ Candle first thing and sing Joy to the World, and put Baby Jesus in the manger. My dad always gets a fire going and makes sausage rolls and puts down a pot of coffee, and we open stockings and eat food and drink mimosa and/or orange juice and coffee and pass out gifts and get really, really loud. We had a lot of people over that day, too. We have a friend who moved to Tahoe from Wyoming, and her brothers came for dinner, which was our traditional gnocchi and ham. We also had a snowball fight later that night, and it was pretty freakishly cold out there, which probably wasn't good for all of us with our wicked chest colds. We were all:
7. What was a hardest thing you to face in 2015?
I don't even know. Maybe... That one time... Or perhaps... Nope, I got nuthin'.
8. What were the best movies you saw in 2015?
Antman, Age of Ultron, and The Scorch Trials, because Marvel, because AVENGERS, and obviously because Dylan O'Brien.
9.What were the best books you read in 2015? What Came From The Stars by Gary Schmidt;The Winner's Curseby Marie Rutkoski.
10. Was there any awesome/fun TV show you discovered in 2015?
I was briefly hooked on Person Of Interest, then a female character was introduced who sort of usurped my boys, Reese and Finch, and I later discovered she was having a relationship with another female and I lost interest. I restarted 24, though. (Still adore Jack.)
11. Did you discover any new musicals?
Yes! Finding Neverland, and A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.
12. Did you write any new books? I am mostly revising books I've already written - namely, DragonFire and Fulcrum. I had been kicking around an idea concerning nightmares, and that one has really taken off this month. I've been actively writing it a few hours each night. I'm pretty excited about it. :-)
13. Did you make any new friends?
14. What was your biggest personal change from January to December of this past year?
15. Is there some change you will have to go through in 2016? Gosh, I hope not. Well, I'd like to move. But otherwise... Gosh, I hope not.
16. What was your single biggest time waster in your life this past year?
Pinterest.
17. What was biggest thing you learned this past year? Life is hard, but trust in God. Worry gives you insomnia.
18. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. "He will always hate me / No matter what I say / And there is no mistaking the love is gone." (This is actually a man's song, so I had to change the "she" in the original lyrics to "he".)
19. What are five things you want to do in 2016? a.) Land an agent. (That makes me sound like I'm hooking a fish. Sorry, agents!) b.) Buy a piano and start composing music again. c.) Go to one of the two SCBWI Annual Conferences in either LA or New York (though since I didn't get tax returns this year, that's probably not going to happen this year). d.) Get a better job. e.) Move.
20. Describe 2015 in your own words.
Truly, not the best year I've ever had. It had it's ups and downs, and I was mostly very worried and stressed during it. I concentrated on trying to be a bit more trusting and take it one day at a time. I sometimes felt like I was doing good with that, but then someone would say, "Are you okay? You seem sad," and I so I guess I wasn't being as brave as I'd thought I was being.
2015 did have some epic moments - Carmel and WordWave and Christmas were three incredible highlights to the year and I want to go back to check out more of the missions in the very near future. That's a definite To-Do. I also got myself submitting to agents, which is an A+ for me in regards to my courage. (Submitting to agents is scary!)
However, I seem to have grown more antisocial. The best thing in my life is going to my little home and being alone, with no people other than my sisters. And Netflix. (Seriously, guys. NETFLIX.)
Happy Halloween everyone! My LOLs this month have been dedicated to Basement Cat in honor of this holiday, so I'm sure you're sick of him by now. So today I have a plain old regular no Basement Cat Halloween-themed LOL for you to enjoy:
It's almost Halloween, are you ready? In honor of the approaching holiday I not only have a new Basement Cat LOL, but this one has a hairless Basement Cat in the bargain.
Can you believe the look on his face? Yeah, that's the point where I would call animal control.
It's been kind of a traumatic week for me. I've had a few minor family emergencies which are never fun to deal with, work has been a little insane, and there's been a few other things that piled on this week.
So when I need cheering up, I turn to Simon's Cat. So for those of you who also need a little uplifting this weekend, enjoy.
The sad thing is I can totally see my cats doing this... which is perhaps why I find it so funny.
I know I kind of neglected the blog this week. Hopefully things will get back to normal a little bit more next week.

I bought my larger cat Brownie a leash and harness this week thinking that now the weather is nicer we could both use a little more exercise. Yeah, this was pretty much the result...
LOL! Aww, I never knew there were leashes and harnesses for cats. My kitty would never let me put one on her though, I'd most likely lose an arm if I tried. XD She's too independent, she goes out and gets her own exercise without me. D:
I'm jealous! When I was your age I'd never heard of the college program. Now as an adult who drags her family to the kingdom yearly to get my fix I so would have enjoyed such a program. Have fun for all of us grown ups out there. And if you're still there, see you in September!
So glad to see from this post that your kitty is at least feeling better!! Good news for you and as far as the before and after Thermometer experience, he will get over it!!!
Finally feeling a little better, although I still got a nasty cough. Back tomorrow with the regularly scheduled contest roundup, but for now, here's an LOL to start the week off right:
Enjoy your week!

So cute. Reminds me of my daughters cat Sampson. He has Displasia ?? the joint that normally bends when cats walk is not there so he walks on that joint and his little paw is flat on ground. He stands like this cat all the time. Doc says he is not in pain as he was born this way. We call him chipmunk or kangaroo. His hind legs are very strong and he can jump and climb as all cats do.
I hope you noticed the football reference. That was specifically for super bowl sunday. And that folks is about as close to football as I get around here.
Aww... so cute! Kittens are so adorable. My brother had one that looked exactly like this one named Smoky. My dad gave him away though because we moved...:(

LOL! That is hilarious but so mean at the same time. XD My kitty would never allow me to do that to her, she'd take off my arm. What a cute (and annoyed) and mellow kitty. :D Thanks for sharing!
Hilarious, this is just hilarious. Looks like my daughters cat Samson with that wicked looking tooth.LOL But Samson is a very sweet kitty so he will not be a cheese burger here or in paradise. LOL
Cats have such wonderful personalities. I know dogs have personalities too, but cats are different. Sad to say though that the first thing I noticed on this picture was the box has a boxtop for education on it. I collect those for my grandson's school so I'm usually pretty quick to spot them.
HA! Great stuff. I just met a friend's cat this week who is INSANE about their gold ornaments. They're only safe 3/4 of the way up the tree. Thanks for making me smile!
