It's getting close to the end of the month, and the alphabet for the A to Z Challenge! I'm excited that I've made it this far without missing a day of posting! I have to say, going by the alphabet has given me some good specks of content and it's helping me to be more … Continue reading Quotes I Love
Today I'm going to share a smoothie recipe, which is actually one of my favorites. It was the third one that I wrote in my "the Smoothie Diaries" recipe book where I wrote down different smoothies I tried, either by following other recipes or building my own from ones I found. Also, keep in mind … Continue reading Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie
I had a good topic for today's post: writing about how I came up with the name of my blog - orangeowldiaries. Then I realized I wrote about this a year and a half ago. At least I realized this before I wrote an entirely new post on the same topic! Then I had a … Continue reading Old Post Love
I have another Hungarian word for y'all today because I literally cannot think of anything else for today's letter. This is one of the first two words I ever learned in this language - nem. It's pronounced just as it's spelled, which makes it easy. Unfortunately this isn't the case for the rest of the … Continue reading Nem means No
Macska (much-ka) is a very common word in our house now, at least since October last year. When we were trying to figure out a name for our black kitten, little Miss Luna (whom we thought was a boy at the time) we almost considered just naming her Macska, because it's Hungarian for 'cat'. I … Continue reading Macska
This past week was National Library Week, as some of you may or may not have heard. I know we have settled into this pattern of making everything a 'holiday' with National 'this' Day and such, but I think National Library Week has some importance. Libraries are an important part of our communities after all. To celebrate … Continue reading Library Week
The best way to 'get back' at someone who mistreats you is by showing them kindness. First of all, it frustrates them more if you don't react the way they expect you to. They might be confused and try again in another way, but if you either don't react or show them even more kindness … Continue reading Kill ’em with Kindness
Jellybeans are a nice treat around this time of year. I was recently at my eye doctor and kept grabbing some from the bowl while I was waiting to pay for my exam and new glasses. Then today I went on a search for the bag of all-black jellybeans and picked up some multi-colored ones for … Continue reading Jellybeans
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Invisibility. Always invisibility. Why? Well, there are times that I'd like to be able to move around undetected (though I usually do anyway because I'm a ninja). Not for anything illegal, mind you, but to avoid certain circumstances or to not be bothered if I'm … Continue reading Invisibility
I've been singing this song since The Lion King came out when I was only three years old. It's probably about time I implement the phrase as my motto. I tend to worry about things more than I should. I know that I need to let go and let God because no amount of worrying … Continue reading Hakuna Matata
"Where are you guys? Text me back." That was the last text Carver Briggs ever sent to his best friend Mars, who was driving back from the movies along with their other two best friends, Eli and Blake. He never got a reply to his text. The police found a half-written response to Carver on Mars' phone … Continue reading Goodbye Days [book review]
The topic of my devotional this morning was about how God is good and He never changes. I am a witness to this many times in my life - so many that I couldn't even list everything He has done for me. Of course, the most important is the salvation I have through Jesus; nothing … Continue reading God is Good
I know, I know... baseball season just started, but you know what? The NFL Draft isn't too far off, so it's a reason to write about football. I'll be honest, football is really the only sport I watch because I think it's the most exciting. I used to watch baseball, but now it seems to … Continue reading Football
