About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday. No editing is allowed… (painful for me… I usually proofread a post 20 times…) This week, the prompt is ‘save/safe‘… I know I can be overprotective. Maybe it’s not even just that I can be. Maybe … Continue reading →

Posted on 6 October 2017 by what sandra thinks

It’s sad. I know it is. But I find myself wasting time. It’s not that I don’t have anything to do. It’s quite the opposite. I have tons to do. I could list those things (I, in fact, have a … Continue reading →
