Foolish Words 2011

By Susan Andrus On January 6, 2011 · Add Comment · In News

It’s time to get started on the silliness that is the annual Foolish Words collaborative writing project. Each year(I believe this is the eight year!) an assorted group of writers from in and around Bozeman contribute their own unique voices, outlandish twists and 200-400 words to an add-on story. Just like you may have done [...]

January’s nudge is: Losing Weight.

What do you do at the beginning of a new year? You vow to lose weight. Or at least that’s what I’ve been led to believe. Magazines publish healthy recipes, exercise plans, and tips on how to stick to it. The cookies are replaced with salads and people head out [...]

Starting Over

On April 1, 2010 By Susan Andrus

My New Year’s resolutions have turned into a cruel April Fools joke, so this month I’m starting over.

Every now and then everyone wants to start over. Sometimes you can and sometimes you can’t. Sometimes starting over only leads you to a place where you just want to… start over. But sometimes, oh, sometimes you [...]

Being Athletic

On March 1, 2010 By Susan Andrus

I am not athletic.

Maybe that’s not quite true–maybe it’s just that I haven’t found a sport or activity I like. Or, perhaps, it’s because I’m too shy and self-conscious to enjoy things when people might be watching. Maybe, having chosen drama as my extracurricular activity at a young age, I haven’t had enough opportunities [...]

Lace

On February 4, 2010 By Susan Andrus

February’s nudge is: Lace, a fabric that was once carefully crafted by women, a talent handed down by grandmothers, but is now produced in factories with computerized machines.

The idea came to me while thinking about Valentine’s Day. Cards and lingerie decorated with lace. Two lovebirds “lacing” their fingers together. Frilly and fine and fancy.

Happy New Year!

On January 1, 2010 By Susan Andrus

Another new year is upon us. Are you ready? My desk has been cleaned and my resolutions have been made. I resolve to… actually, I’m not going to say just in case I fail miserably. Again.

As we transition into 2010 many people have been reflecting on where they were and what they were doing [...]
