OOh OOh, I Know This One…

Daily writing prompt
Name your top three pet peeves.

Take a moment, if you please

To meet my three favorite pet peeves…

The first is Bettina,

the stubborn little Rhino…

To everything that I tell her, she has to say “I Know!”

Then comes little Auzzie, an owl who refuses to fly,

Busily baking cookies,

only dreaming of reaching the sky!

Last but not least,

meet a bird whose quite cheeky…

Nanny clucks at all the others,

while still wearing egg on her own beaky!

These peeves you see, are my favorite’s three,

because these peeves,

are all pieces of me…

For better and for worse,

we must finish what we start,

I shall tend to all these scars,

as God does the mending of my heart!

Cookies, anyone?

His Name Was Harley…

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite animals?

Stubborn…

Bull headed…

Neurotic…

Sneezed on everyone…

Freeway Buddy…

Snuggle Monster…

Grumpy ole thing…

Forgot who he was…

and often, even where he was…

Stood by my side until his very last breath…

Forever in my heart…

Never forgotten!

Here, have a biscuit…

Which Dew Do You Prefer?

Daily writing prompt
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

Hands down, I am far happier feeling the dew of the morning while walking along the shoreline of a beach, than I am about drinking that wretched beverage!

Forgive me if you like this drink, as I meant no offense, but the prompt asked… so it’s their fault, really.

If I’m asked to show my preference between the two… so be it!

To be fully honest, as well as to be fair to the beverage companies, I’ve lost the taste for beverages with sugar in them… aside from the French Vanilla Creamer that goes in my morning coffee. After my caffeine requirements are met for the day, I switch to either Peppermint Tea or good ole fashion H2O. I like sugar, so don’t get me wrong here… I just don’t enjoy it in my beverages.

Well folks, there ya have it! Far too much useless information about me that no one really needed to know, sort of like asking whether I prefer the mountains over the beach. What an absurd question to ask, when both locations have their very own beauties about them, ya know?!

Anyways, have an awesome weekend, everyone. Oh, and don’t forget to grab a goodie on your way out…

Food, Glorious Food…

Daily writing prompt
What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?

I don’t wanna have to choose only three fav’s, if anyone was possibly even interested in such things!

Besides, unless you like Ghetto-licious, which is how we’ve been surviving for the last three years, you’re not going to be too impressed with what I might offer up!

Luckily, my cookies are always fresh…

Well, a S’more isn’t really a cookie, just so that you know that I know the difference… but, there’s only so much a girl can do in a motel room!

Thomas Edison …

I’d ask him if it was like a lightbulb turned on in his head?

Daily writing prompt
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

Don’t forget to take a cookie…

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha……..

Daily writing prompt
Do you trust your instincts?

Are you kidding?! I absolutely do NOT trust my own instincts, which have gotten this girl into more trouble…

I was sure I knew what I was doing, and where I was going.

When things didn’t feel like they were right or I realized the direction was wrong, instinct told me to bury the errors and just keep going, which only took me down another wrong path…

When God pointed out my predicaments, my instinct was to argue my case and continue trying to do things my way!

If I have learned one thing through all of it… it’s that I can ONLY do all things through Christ, who strengthens me! My instincts are not and will never be enough to navigate this thing we all call life.

Instincts get surrendered to God every single morning, for this recovering runaway. The new rule of thumb is to seek the council of God throughout the whole of my day. Scripture warns NOT to lean on our own understanding, and I’m learning to listen!

Just sayin…

Three Guesses…

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

Use your heart, use your eyes,

Look for meaning between my lines,

If you know me then you know the answer,

If you have me figured out, go on and give it a gander.

Have a cookie while you think…

for into your brain, the answer might sink.

Why Do I Want To Say Where?

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite place to go in your city?

For the life of me, I want to say that the prompt should be asking, Where is your favorite place to go in your city. Or better yet, if they want to ask what is your favorite place to go, wouldn’t it make more sense to ask What is the name of your favorite place to go in your city.

Do they want an address? They aren’t asking for a name, just your favorite place. Does it exclude places that can be found everywhere, i.e. McDonalds, Walmart, or The Rack?

Maybe this is one of those person, place, or things, kind of confusions… who knows? Or perhaps, I’m just too tired to care much about what the prompt was asking me about.

In the end, it won’t matter any way you look at it, as I am a country girl at heart, so I avoid the city like a visit to the proctologist!

Here, have a cookie for your trouble…
