Tick Tock… Tick Tock!
Will you find presents or coal… inside your socks?

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.
Want a cookie?
Onions With Layers…
So WordPress wants to know what cities I want to visit, do they?
First of all, there’s an awful lot of cities in the world to choose from, and I would probably answer differently on any given day… and for a slew of different reasons.
Secondly, I don’t share this kind of information with just anybody… it just feels weird, that’s all.
Cookies up!
10…
It has begun… the count down til Christmas Eve, that is.
Since nobody sent me any specific wish lists, the window of selections has now closed!
Now is my chance to have fun, as your opportunity to control my virtual holiday imagination has expired.
Were you naughty or nice this last year? Hmmmmmm….
What might she possibly be planning to put in my stocking, you will be asking yourselves?
All you can do now is hope that you know me as well as you think you do… don’t blame me… you’ve tied my hands here… I’ll not accept responsibility for what follows over the next 10 days!
It’s not my fault at all!
10… tick tock, tick tock!
Relax! You can trust me, really you can…
maybe…
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.
Have a cookie…
Honestly, It’s All About the Cookies…
Daily writing prompt
Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.
Whenever I see questions like this one, my mind always wanders back to my childhood. There are few pleasant memories of my early days, but somehow a small bubble of warm memories with my mom survived.
I’ve one where she took me to get my ears pierced for the first time… I felt so grown up!
All the rest of my positive memories mainly revolve around the kitchen, which you may have noticed in any of my writings about my mother.
Whichever way you wish to look at it, that kitchen is where my love of baking was born! The day my mother gave me an Easy-Bake Oven created a monster, if you will… a cookie one, that is!
I was propped up on a stool, precariously balanced on an old Yellow Pages phone book… and handed a large bowl of Chocolate Chip cookie dough, to be exact!
I sat there for the entire day, meticulously baking my cookies one at a time, until I’d emptied the entire mixing bowl!
I’ve never lost that love of baking, and cookies are still my favorite thing to make, to this day!
Have one…
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.
Here, have a cookie…
Wednesday Wonderland Words…
Wouldn’t you know it? Corporate has asked Eustace to be the Company Santa Clause this year.
They’ve even enrolled him in Santa School so that he knows the ropes… or bells, if you will.
Right now, Eustace is having his hair cut, nails trimmed, and a pre-training candy cane infusion!
It does seem rather odd, I know… but I’ve never tried to be certified as an official Santa Representative before, or anything remotely like it, have you?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens after the holidays…
For all we know, Eustace might start turning into a Camelf every time he sees a candy cane!
Tuesday’s Twinkling… I mean Tinkering…
As you can see, it’s Holiday Picture Day in the barnyard!
It is so hard for me to choose between pictures, when it comes to these little ones… their so doggone cute! I’m just going to share the pictures from this mornings photo session and then give it a few days before I make my pics…
Miss Tilly is changing so fast…
She looks so grown up in this dress that it kind of makes me sad.
I like this pic of Dinky, but I don’t think she’s such a fan of that scarf.
Don’t you think she looks happier in this one?
Sooooo hard to choose…
She’s soooo squishieeeeeee!
I think Boomer’s trying too hard to be grown-up in this pic.
Dinky thought so too, and she can change her brother’s appearance in the blink of her eye…
While Dinky thought this was funny… I did not! I told her to lose the ridiculous Santa bangs and try again…
She did a much better job on the next go.
I didn’t need more than one photo of this young lass…
Spot on! This is the Lilly we know and love, wouldn’t you agree?
Auzzie Clawzee kept ruffling his feathers in protest of the scarf…
So it took several tries to get the little guy to settle down.
So I’m now faced with two good choices for the furry bird… I love these shots!
Can you choose? I sure can’t, right this moment!
Oh, and I took a few of Brutus and I, just for fun!
Ha Ha!
Not sure about the red in my hair.
Could I go blonde? I hear they have more fun, but I have a good bit of that already… what do you think?
Take it to the Street…
Sesame Street that is…
In the words of my favorite monster,
E is for Effort… that’s good enough for me!
Here, have a cookie…
Don’t be afraid! I’m not really a monster… honest!
