#PlayInMay Inside My Purse: with Pictures!

Hey y'all!

Today is my last #PlayInMay post, since this weekend's prompt is to look back on your favorites from the month and I'm really not that into looking backwards, so I'm glad that my last post for this challenge is something a little new, and most importantly, easy.

#PlayInMay - Feel a Thing: One Year in England

Hey y'all!

Yesterday marked exactly one year since a girl and her dog set foot in England for goodsies.  The time has moved incredibly fast, and my life is SO MUCH DIFFERENT than it was when I left Texas.  This weekend, the Axis of Ineptitude wants me to Feel a Thing, and somehow it seemed appropriate that I tell you some of my feelings about this past year.

#PlayInMay Raw: The Fault In Our Stars

Hey y'all!

Today the Axis of Ineptitude wants me to be Raw.  Unfortunately, perhaps, that's exactly what I'm going to be.  I have some stuff to talk about that is deeply personal and I'm not entirely sure as I write this that I will be able to push the Publish button, or that I'll be able to leave it posted if I do.  Also, nail art.

#PlayInMay - Make a Thing

Hey y'all!

This weekend the Axis of Ineptitude brings you more THINGS!  Last weekend we cooked Things, and this weekend we are making Things.  I have two Things that were made in the Faff household, one by me and one by Mr. Faff.

#PlayInMay - Cook a thing

Hey y'all!

Second post today, woohoo!  This weekend the Axis of Ineptitude challenged me to Cook a Thing.  I'm a big fan of roast thing, and also fried thing, and baked thing, and once in a while, thing wings.  However, this weekend I tackled a 4.5 lb pork loin and the various ways of serving one ginormous piece of meat for two people.  Not only did this make the single cut of meat very versatile, but also very economical!

#PlayInMay - Define yourself

Hey y'all!

Day 2 of Play in May asks us to define ourselves in an uncommon way.  Well if that isn't a big book of vague, I dunno what is.  However, I persevere.

Come Play in May: A blogwright's right to write, the rites.

Hey y'all!

Forgive the strained title.  It's very hard to get all four spellings of a homophone into a succinct yet catchy title.  Today I'm deviating from the standard nail path, again.  My girlfriends and fellow bloggers Evin and Shelley have been collaborating, only this time it doesn't require the use of hand tools or much mockery of PeopleWhoAreDumb.   They've defined the convergence point of being a blogger and still being a real person, and they've created a "challenge" around it - Come Play in May with the Axis of Ineptitude.  This challenge will run May 1-31, and the only rule is to Be Real in your writing.  Also, because this challenge is created by real people, they know that not everyone will have an entry every day.  In fact, if we're taking speculation, I'm gonna bet that not even the founders manage to do the full challenge, every day, on time - because they're real people.  I can already tell you that I will not make all 31 prompts, but I shall endeavor to join in when the prompt speaks to me and I don't have other crap on my plate.  Are you with me so far?  Good.

The starting prompt for this challenge:
