T is for Twitterversary
Twitter hates me.
Today is my five-year Twitterversary. Trying not to take it personally that Twitter didn't send me a Happy Twitterversary letter.
S is for Superhero

Q is for Quit
It's sad that I get so close to the end of the A to Z challenge only to be stuck on the letter Q.
It kind of makes me want to Quit.
There have been many things keeping me away from the computer this month. Most days I haven't even felt like turning on the computer. I caught some kind of chest cold about 25 days ago and the cough is still lingering.
But I can't Quit when I am THIS close to finishing.
Just like I can't Quit binge watching episodes of Brothers & Sisters on Netflix.
You know what I would love to Quit? This cough. Seriously, it really needs to go away!

P is for Precious

| Precious moments in time |
This is my favorite picture. It shows my Uncle & Me playing the piano while my mom (and baby brother) watch. I was 2 years old. I credit him for my love of music. Shortly after this (when I was around 5) I started piano lessons that lasted until I was 18. Which then led to me learning how to play other instruments.

O is for Oreo
I am not really a cookie person. But that being said, I get extremely curious about the different flavors of Oreo cookies that I find. Have you seen some of the flavors they have come up with?
Here are a few that I have come across.
Watermelon Oreos? I definitely did NOT try these. I LOVE watermelon. But Watermelon Oreos? No thank you.
There are Candy Corn Oreos? I am not a big fan of Candy Corn so I really wasn't up for trying these.
Candy Cane Oreos. Let me just say, I am a sucker for ALL things peppermint. I thought these were yummy.
And finally, Lemon Oreos. These used to be a limited edition but I think they have now been added to the list of regular Oreo cookie flavors. Which is pretty awesome because they are my all time favorite. I really do love these cookies.
What Oreo cookie flavors have you tried?

M is for Moon
I love the moon. I always have.
When I was younger, I must have REALLY loved the moon because I remember getting a letter, when I was away at college, from my younger brother and pretty much the entire letter was him writing about how he heard I liked the moon. I guess I may have talked about it a little too much.

L is for Late
Here I am, late again. But that is nothing new. I have always been late. I stay up late and I love to sleep in late. Some days, I work late and so I get home late.
Today, I should be writing all about the letter N. But I am not. Because in typical Me fashion, this post is all kinds of late.

K is for Keepsake
 |
| My mom's old silver lipstick case. They just don't make them like this anymore. The tiger's eye keeps the mirror closed and also moves to push the lipstick up. |
 |
| I have had this button/pin since I was a teenager...and if you know who The Beat were then you know just how long ago that was. ;-) |
 |
| Here is another little treasure I have hidden away. I bought this awesome necklace/pendant quite a few years ago. I think I may have purchased it from one of the local street fairs but I really cannot remember that far back. It is surprisingly in great shape, the similar candle holder I purchased at the same time, sadly is not. |
 |
| Years ago my parents took a trip to Israel. This is one of the things they brought back for me. I love candles and find it hard to burn them when they look so pretty. At least I don't have to worry about anyone trying to light it though, as the wick fell out years ago. |

J is for Journal
I have blogged before about what keeping a journal means to me.
Even though I prefer to write down my thoughts, lately I have been trying out some of the iPhone journaling apps that are currently available. My favorites are Day One and Momento. I love how I can add a photo to an entry and also include little extras like the weather or a little map of the places that I've been. It's all so neat and compact and modern and new, but for me it just doesn't compare to a handwritten paper journal.
Using different pens, the way my handwriting changes, adding little doodles, all of this is what makes a journal so personal to me. Much more personal than a mobile journal. Well at least for me. I feel that when I hand-write my words, my thoughts are more personal and there just seems to be more of them.
Do you keep a journal? What do you prefer, mobile app or written?

I is for Interestingness
It's that time again. Time for me to share my most interesting photos. Well...the most interesting according to Flickr.
I must admit that this post is mainly due in part to my own curiosity, but I hope you may find it interesting as well.
This year, I am pretty happy to see that my top 72 most interesting photos have changed a bit. Sure, some of these photos have been part of my most interesting for many years. But this year there are quite a few new photos and there is even a new top interesting photo! Yay! It is kind of rare for my top photo to change. Usually once a photo makes it to the top of the interesting list, it stays there pretty much forever.
So here's this year's count down:
- 16 photos of cats
- 15 photos of feet
- 12 photos of yarny things
- 8 photos of food
