Three Men In a Tub

My challenge today is this...
Three people walk into a bar.....

The first is me. I've decided to meet my dear friend Tamra for a relaxing drink. She talks me into another ( She's just that way).Then the third is my oldest friend Carol who comes all the way from Washington to be our designated driver (She is also just that way). We have a wonderful evening together and the next morning Carol kidnaps me and  whisks me away for a nice visit with her in Washington. I'll miss you all of course, but don't worry, she didn't bring my grandbabies along and I can't go too long without seeing them, as most of you know.




Okay, I know we aren't men and we won't be making it home from the bar in a tub, but it just made me think of it. So Rub-dub-dub ladies!

It's All About Me

From a famous writer or celebrity, to a WordPress.com blogger or someone close to you — who would you like to be your biographer?

I would choose my bestest friend Carol. She has known me the longest and probably understands me the most. She knows the things I have been through, both good and bad, and could probably tell my story with the most accuracy and kindness. I'm afraid it would be a colossal waste of her time though. Who on earth would want to read it?

I'd like to buy a vowel Pat

It's me again. I don't know what's the matter with me, but I've been just terrible about keeping my blog updated. It's time I stopped making excuses and just do better.
Anyway,
Here is the writing challenge I received today....
Pick a letter, any letter. Now, write a story, poem, or post in which every line starts with that letter.
I choose the letter "I"

I have been doing very poorly at keeping up with my blog.
I really want to do better.
I am going to try.
I finally got an offending tooth pulled out yesterday, and
I feel much better.
I think they had something more meaningful in mind when they suggested this post.

Anger

Tell us about a time when you flew into a rage. What is it that made you so incredibly angry?

 That's not an easy question for me since I very rarely express anger. I'm one of those people who stuff it. Not good I know, but anger just wasn't acceptable when I grew up. Even when I do get angry, it's rarely big enough to be called "rage".

I did have a reaction that was strange for me not too long ago though. I recently lost a very dear friend. The evening I found out I was devastated. I cried, hard and a lot. The next morning though, I was so angry. I literally wanted to throw things. I wanted to break things. I've never felt that way before. I didn't act on it of course....not me, but I did have the feeling.

Run For the Hills!

"It's never a good idea to discuss religion or politics with people you don't really know." Agree or disagree?

AGREE!!!!!
And I must say that they are subjects to stay away from with some people you know quite well.
I HATE conflict and I have someone in my life whose conversation with me is guaranteed to include ugly argument if those subjects are introduced.
YUCK! Just don't go there!

Long Time No Hear?

There's either been a lot going on in my life of late, or I got just plain lazy, but either way, it's been a long time between posts. I apologize to the few of you who follow me. I just have been unable to keep up. I'm back and I'll try to do better.

There have been many writing challenges while I've been absent. Most I've deleted, but here are a couple of the ones that I didn't write about.....

Tell us about your favorite meal, either to eat or to prepare. Does it just taste great, or does it have other associations?

 If you know me, you know that there isn't a meal that is my favorite meal to prepare. I'm not a good cook. Given the time, money, and an entirely different kitchen, I would love to practice and get better. I would also need someone around to eat this food though, since who wants to do all the work, get better, and sit down to eat it alone. Not me, especially since that leaves only little ol' me to clean up the mess. I'll just tick with my favorite meal to eat....PIZZA!!!!  

 

 Vanilla, chocolate, or something else entirely?

Well, that depends,,,,Am I at 31 Flavors?  Peanut Butter/Chocolate or sometimes Butter Pecan which was my mother's favorite. Am I buying it at the supermarket? Definitely Breyers Natural Vanilla with plenty of Hershey's chocolate sauce. And finally and best of all homemade ice cream. I'll take vanilla please.

   

So that's it. I'll try to do better and keep up. 

Have a fabulous day ladies! 

Happy Wanderer

What's your travel style? Are you itinerary and schedule driven, needing to have every step mapped out in advance or are you content to arrive without a plan and let happenstance be your guide?
I am able, and have, traveled with itineraries and such, but my favorite way to travel would be with no time table whatsoever. I would just love to take off in my car along with a fun friend and just go. I want to stop whenever I notice something interesting I'd like to check out, stop whenever I see someplace where I'd love to try their food, I want to take the back roads and just amble along with no goal but to see and enjoy things and to meet people along the way.

Someday?
