You Can, But Should Ya?

Ya ya ya… I know… I have puppy on the brain after this last weekend! You’re gonna have to put up with this for a few days, I fear. Sorry, not sorry…

The dog images should hopefully leave the impression with you, of thinking before you act on a thing.

I was watching an episode of Joyce Meyers the other day, and something she said stuck with me, regarding God’s guidance. There are times when we are about to say something, we might hear God whisper, “you don’t need to say that”, and when Joyce went on to talk about whether we listen to him or not, I felt like she was looking right at me through the television screen!

I’ve been studying a great deal about wisdom and thinking before I say things, lately. This chatty wordsmith has a tendency to say too much, or talk at the wrong time, so I’m a work in progress. I hope this satisfies the prompt.

I’m Lazy…

My Chica’s daughter got a puppy, and I’m getting my flurby fix this morning. 

It has been confirmed, ladies and gents… my future fur baby needs to be a silky Dachshund,  preferably a champagne cream color!

If it’s a girl, I could name her Bailey,

and if it’s a boy, I could name him Gabriel…

yup!  I know it’ll be a while yet still, but a girl can dream.

Is She Here Yet?

As to the prompt question this morning, what I would love for others to say about me might sound something like this…

Is she here yet? Is she here? Where? Oh,Oh!  I see her, I see her! Here she comes, here she comes! (giggling, jumping, and high-pitched squeals erupt)

I love, love, love children, babies… and puppies!  No, this doesn’t have anything to do with anything!  Dont ask me why, but this is what popped right into my brain when I read the prompt.

The World is My Stage…

While I could regale you for hours with all the times I’ve performed over the years, would it be worth the mention if my only audiences were fictional ones?

Well, they weren’t all fictional, to be totally fair about things.  My performance career began very early on, where I learned to hone my speech and drama skills on any and all of my baby dolls.

From there, I branched out over the years to include any living animal that was either willing to stay and listen or coralled long enough to endure my theatrical onslaught!

Eventually, my poor audience members would run when they saw me preparing for one of my performances, leaving me to talk to myself… which I readily did!

If you were to ask any one of my adult children, I’m sure they would attest to my ability to give such lengthy speeches that they wished they could escape, just as all my childhood audience victims had done!

So, there you have it, my friends! 

As the title of this post reflects, as far as performing and/or speech giving… The world really is my oyster.

Monday Messages…

Wiwohka13 Comments

I basically copied and pasted last years Monday Message in here, this morning. Why? Because nobody participated last time… and it was a really good idea, that’s why!

I’m serious, guys and gals… come on, pretty please…for me? I think this could be really fun, and let’s face it, I think we all need something bright to focus on right now. Wouldn’t you agree?

So, here goes… when at first you don’t succeed, try try again (or so I’ve heard):

Well… November is well upon us, and I am setting the stage for our upcoming events. I mentioned before that I wanted to do a Virtual Holiday and I am bringing it up again. I am giving everyone until Thanksgiving to come up with a Christmas Wish List for themselves and put it in the comments anywhere on my site, that is, if you wish to participate.

Anyone wishing to participate can simply use their Christmas Day Post to reveal what they got peeps from those lists… your post is yours so you can present your gifts anyway you wish. It is virtual so the sky is the limit! I thought it would be so beautiful to have the Reader covered with gifts and sharing all across WordPress. Be there or Be SQUARE!

Monday Hugs to everybody!!!!!!

Tonight, Pinky, We Shall Take Over the World…

What are you doing this evening?
View all responses

I loved to watch that cartoon Pinky and the Brain, where the two lab mice or rats (whatever they were) would start their day off with the big dumb one asking the small one the same question from the day before… hey, Brain, what are we doing today? Brain would always answer the same thing, as well… Pinky, today we are going to take over the world!

When I saw the prompt, my mind went straight to that old cartoon… so, that’s my long winded answer for what I’m doing this evening. No, this evening won’t be filled with plans for world domination. I just have no intention of airing my evening activities for all to read!

If we have nothing better to do than to read what others are doing in their personal time, well then, we need to find something to do. If we have nothing better to do than to hand out all our personal business for others to feed off of, well then, we need to stop oversharing so much personal information…

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie…

Please don’t try eating the mice… they’re not cookies!

I spent yesterday setting up the framework for Volume II of my book series, and today I will be building my storyboard on the computer.

I like to have lots of maps and pictures available, making it easier for the writing of the story, itself… my mojo, if you will.

I want to keep moving forward with the storyline, regardless of how long it takes for the first book to get picked up. My desire is to keep everything connected as smoothly as possible for whomever eventually reads the books.

I’m certainly not boasting that I shall become some writing guru that pops out best selling novels like tic tac’s, or anything. I suppose I simply want to have the most positive attitude towards the future that I can, regardless of circumstances or any future outcome… it just makes things look brighter, that’s all.

Besides, I better use it or loose it, as far as putting words to paper… I’m not getting any younger!

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
View all responses

Promises Promises

Have I got a deal for you

It’s a guarantee

I’m doing this for you

I swear it

You deserve it

All I need from you is

If you do this, then I’ll

It’ll be just between us

Anytime there is an overly happy, too good to be true sort of person, acquaintance, sales person or what not… the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end!

I’ll tell you why…

Because, promises are not always promises, not all deals are all that good, there are no guarantees, most people who tell you it’s for your good are about to hurt your feelings, anyone can swear nowadays, no one truly knows who deserves what, there is always a catch or something in it for the one offering… and, it is never, ever, ever just between you and them!

I know, I know… pretty brutal and straight up, right?!

I’m pretty sure everyone has met at least one person like this in their lifetime. Maybe not all of the above in just one person, but it is a self-centered personality trait that I find rather irritating, destructive, and dangerous… I avoid this personality like the plague!

I’ll make it clear here that I’ve no specific person to point fingers at, since the trait can be found in any sort of type… if they let it!
