Journey With Me!

When I sat down to write this morning, I’d been thinking on either poetry or something light and funny. Well, between the entire construction crew right outside my door, that are making a terrible racket, and the 10 minutes of sifting through and deleting my spam folder… now I’m just crabby!

While I can easily put my headphones on, in order to drown out the noise pollution, these spam comments are giving me a headache! It’s become apparent that allowing others to link with my articles, has offered somebody a chance to stalk me with nearly 100 spams… Every Day!

In the future, please take no offense when I delete a link request, as it’s not my intention to be rude, but I’m having to practice some damage control. Why on earth someone would have nothing better to do than to use multiple site titles with differing names, just to offer ridiculous and repetitive comments, is beyond me!

Note to self,

Don’t clean out your mailbox until AFTER you post your daily articles!

Until next time, this grumpy girl is signing off…

Yes, I am a Woodsy WordPecker, and yes I also sport hands, so that I can write with a pen! If I had to actually use my mouth for writing, like I do for talking, my beak would fall off!

Waking up this morning, I’d had plans for simply giving a one liner, or maybe even just a nice picture of the river, as the lobby has been somewhat quiet lately. I realize that between the beautiful weather and life, sometimes the blogging feels a bit lackluster for many folks.

Nearly 90 percent of my mental energy has been put towards the novel I’m deeply enmeshed in creating, and then I spend the rest of the day with my head in the clouds. I don’t think I’ve had this much fun since having babies!

Anyways, if you see days where I’ve only left a picture or a short poem, please take no offense, as I’m either mentally exhausted or just very distracted! Trust me though, it’ll be worth it in the end, you’ll see.

In the meantime, we can still have fun and laugh together, as some of the things I post are simply crazy brain, which can be an awful lot of entertainment. I can say this because I’ve been entertaining my own brain like this for many years… and if I hear any of you snickering at this from the back of the room… well, I do have a squirt bottle and it has an incredibly long reach!

Getting back to my first comment you read, when you came into the lobby, I decided that instead of my normal blah blah blah, I’d offer a heartfelt THANK YOU! Why am I doing this, you may be asking yourselves? Because, when I logged onto the site this morning, there was a notification saying I’d just surpassed 50,000 total views! Goodness Sake! Folks really do read some of the things I write!

I realize that maybe you all kinda sorta enjoy reading things from this Chatty Cathy, Loud Mouth Frog, Woodsy Wordpecker, Tuesday Tattler, and Overthinkers Anonymous Chairperson… yeesh, that was a mouthful!

Bolstered by this new information, I feel it’s my duty to continue forward, on this overthinking and oversharing literary journey, and simply blog my heart out! Being the wild runaway from the wilderness, turned Wordsmith, as my husband often teases, I feel it’s only the right thing to do…

I need to find some puddles to splash in… just sayin.

It’s game time…

This week, I want to try something new! I’ve posted a picture that you get to guess, as to what the adage or saying might be. I will take everyone’s answers and post them next week, before the next picture becomes available.

I’ve discovered that being the one to make up my own puzzles, feels somewhat like cheating, since I use the phrases often and am pretty familiar with their meaning.

I thought that this might be more fun for everyone reading… games are always more fun when there are people playing them.

_______ – _______ – _______ – ________.

Since today’s phrase only has four words in it, you shouldn’t have too much trouble guessing. Let’s go peeps… show me whatcha got!

Guess what the phrase is, based on the picture above, and then try to define it and use it in a sentence. I’m not looking for more than a brief guess at its meaning, and I’m hoping to see who might come up with the most imaginative sentence usage.

I don’t have any prizes to hand out for the winners, but I can offer cookies and a hug!
