Slice of Pie

Today I'm supposed to write about PIE.

I'm sure many people taking these challenges will write wonderful things about pie describing the flaky crust and the wonderful fillings. I'm not that great of a writer and I don't think it's an extremely interesting topic, so I'm not going to.
I will add only this....
I'm not a huge pie person. I eat some when it's offered and pass on some too. I used to way prefer cake to pie. Now I don't eat much of either. If I had to choose between the two, I'd probably decide on the one that looked better to me at the time.
Both my girls however, much prefer pie over cake. T
So much so that they both even served pie at their weddings instead of a wedding cake.

There you have it---my post about PIE. How inspiring!

Sixth Sense

I just took one of those tests that pop up on Facebook.
I do them every so often and when I get the results, they often make sense to me.
I just took one that was to determine what my sixth sense was, and it tells me that my sixth sense is Finding Lost Items. HA!
I'm afraid that result isn't even close.
I'm continually looking for something I've misplaced. Drives me crazy!
Makes me wonder if I know myself at all. Maybe the results of all those other tests that I thought were so interesting and right on were way off as well.

Hmmmm

Buyer Beware

Today's Prompt....

The year is 2214, and your computer's dusty hard drive has just resurfaced at an antique store. Write a note to the curious buyer explaining what he or she will find there.

The note on my computer needs to read
"Read with caution and understanding.
The writer here is old and a little crazy.
You have been warned."

Final Craft Show

Today I took part in my fourth and final craft show of the year. Yes, I just completed one yesterday. Yes I had to go directly from there to church, and yes I am really pooped. Today's show was a very small one at the Reno Elks Lodge that I found out about at the last minute (Like just yesterday). I didn't make a lot, but Landon came by for a visit. I got to spend about an hour playing with my very favorite little man. I'm counting that as a win. For the rest of the season I will have things for sale in the Senior Sampler and a few things at The Wet Hen in Reno. Once I have the gumption to unload my car and organize everything I will probably post some pictures of a few things here on the blog in case you might see something there you would like.

 Over and out with this tired old woman!

Tomorrow it's back to work. Must prep for the Card Class I've got coming up Thursday.
You can still sign up if you're interested in coming. Just contact me ASAP.

Bad Signal

Today I am asked...
"Someone's left you a voicemail message, but all you can make out are the last words: "I'm sorry. I should've told you months ago. Bye." Who is it from, and what is this about?




  

I thought about this and it made me think of the effects I have experienced in the past from gossip.
I hate it! It is so ugly!
Anyway, there was a time in the distant past that a very nasty and untrue rumor was being spread around town about me. I knew absolutely nothing about it although I did find that I was being snubbed by people who were my friends. It went on for two years, until out of the blue one day, one of those friends got in contact with me to apologize. I was floored to find out what people were believing about me. Less floored by the reasoning behind why the person who started the rumor did it. I totally got it once I found out. She was really between a rock and a hard place and needed a scapegoat. I get it. It saddens me because I really considered her a super good friend, but I get it. Unlike my assignment, it took two years for someone to step up and let me know what was going on instead of just months, but it's the same idea.

I Protest!!

Here was my challenge today...

"A restaurant that removed your favorite item from the menu, a bad cover of a great song... Write a post about something that should have been left untouched, but wasn't. 

Funny---I was just talking about this with Megan yesterday.

I used to LOVE the show "The Talk"....Tapes it so I'd never miss it. I got such a kick out of it.
Then they replaced my two favorite people.
Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete. Especially Leah. She is hysterical! 
I was so bummed when they took them away that I stopped watching in protest. I even wrote in to the website. Why don't they just leave a good thing alone?
I felt the same way when they cancelled the talk show that Bonnie Hunt hosted. 
I really loved that one to and it's gone.
Color me sad.

Anyway, those are the things that have been changes that totally bum me out. :(

Craft Fair Crazy

Well, craft show number three is complete. It was an awesome show and I'm so glad I got in this year.

Just one fabulous room out of four!

I already can't wait to do it next year.






I was scheduled to do one more show, but it got canceled.
However...
I was chatting with my daughter about it yesterday and found out that a gal she used to work with is in charge of one at the Reno Elks Lodge......TOMORROW!

Yes, I signed up at the last minute, so if your looking for some more fun, stop by and see me there tomorrow from 10am until 2pm. The address is, 597 Kumle lane, in Reno.

After that show I think I'm done for the year unless any of you out there know of any small inexpensive ones who are looking for people. I'm always looking.

I'll get done tomorrow just in time to make it to church at 3:30 tomorrow for practice.

I'm a Crazy Woman!

Stop by and see me if you're out there looking for hidden treasures. Who knows what I will find there. I've never heard of this one before. Let's hope it's a hidden gem!
