Ghost Story?


It was a regular night. Yeah, yeah I know I know...this is EXACTLY how most of these stories start. Well, this one is no different. Some of you won't believe this story. You will think I made this up or was under the sway of one too many whiskey sours. But that was not the case at all. Alright so where was I? Oh yes, I remember...
It was a regular night. Nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, I got off work, let myself into my apartment  - no problem. Went around doing all of the things you might do when you get home...locked my door...took a shower...got food ready for dinner...watched some tv...checked the locks again...grabbed a book planning to read a little. For some reason, I just could not fall asleep...book didn't hold my attention so I ended up laying in bed curled on my side waiting for sleep to claim me.
I'm laying on my side facing window, my back to the bedroom door. Suddenly, I felt movement on the bed behind me. Now I'm alone so "who the hell or  what the hell" is all I was thinking.  I was frozen but my mind was racing. I thought "Oh God!! someone broke into my house and is going to attack me or worse!"
I said to myself "you have to see who this is in case you survive... you have to be able to identify this asshole!!" So I rolled over looked behind me and NOTHING! There was no one there but there was an imprint, a depression  where someone had been sitting on my bed! Now I'm freaking out almost hyperventilating and then I look at the foot of my bed. There hovering was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!!
She was dressed in this ethereal shade of white. Her dress was flowing so softly around her. It was beautiful. I sat up straight and stared into crystal blue eyes. She had this bright golden hair that was curled tightly into these super springy, bouncy Shirley Temple Curls...and she smiled at me...the most beatific smile ever. Now I'm thinking RUN RUN RUN RUN!!! ...but my body wont cooperate. I'm frozen, begging my body to please let me move. Screaming but not making a sound. Tears streaming down my face.
I stare into those crystalline blue eyes in panic...panic that she clearly reads because almost in slow motion, she reaches out, places her baby-soft glowing white hand on my legs, nods her head slowly, and then she's gone.
Once she leaves, my body returns to my control! I wasted no time...I jumped up grabbed, my keys and wallet ran to my car (in my PJs) and drove to my grandparents house (the closest and what felt the safest tbh).  I let myself into their house in the wee hours of the morning...curled up on the couch and went to sleep all the while, praying it was over.

Podcast #1

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi
