I Have Playlists…

Daily writing prompt
What’s your all-time favorite album?

To be honest, due to the sheer number of songs and artists that entertain my lyrical cravings, I am unable to come up with any single album that one considers a favorite.

I love nearly all genre’s, and listen to them in the fashion that my mood brings forth… that’s the beauty of it… there’s so much glorious music out there at the touch of a button!

While I may not be able to call out a favorite album by name, what I do have are a sizeable number of playlists, on several different online music platforms.

I listen to Pandora on many of my walks, and am also an avid viewer of the music video’s available on YouTube.

I did my share of musical concert going with friends years ago, but to be honest with you… I never bought the tickets myself, and the venue was always one of my friends’ favorite bands.

If I were to reminisce with you about some of the venue’s we snuck into when we were teenagers, not only would I be revealing my age but also my criminal background… hehehe. In truth, we were more interested in flirting with the road crew, than we were about the music playing. What can you expect? We were teenage girls… Hormones!

Anyway, I don’t feel like picking one precious memory over the other to come up with just one favorite. For me, the answer would change by the time I finished writing out the reasons for the album I chose… just sayin!

Here, have a cookie…

NO Solicitors…

Daily writing prompt
Which topics would you like to be more informed about?

If you’re at all like me, the last thing you want in your mailbox, inbox or ear box, is an add or article about one more thing to pick a side on, or coupons for the next best thing to purchase!

Besides, if there are topics that I wish to become more informed about… it’s none of anyone else’s business, to put it bluntly!

Now, if we were running an online community college, then, maybe this prompt question would make more sense in a global blogging community; I think there are enough of us already running differing topics of one theme or another on our sites as it stands now.

Anyway, that’s just my two cents… carry on.

Oh, and here are some cookies…

While the cookies are really yummy looking, I’ve no idea what the AI generator was trying to say on those little signs… lol!

Wash Your Mouth Out…

Daily writing prompt
What would your life be like without music?

You won’t find any part of my life that doesn’t have music drifting around in it, from any number of differing genre’s… just depends on my mood.

I don’t plan on even entertaining the thought of a life that might be devoid of music, as that just seems so awful and dark. I liken the idea of no music to that of stumbling blindly through a darkened cave that runs deeply beneath a mountain, where no light can reach… ugh, I shudder at the idea!

From the time I was very small, music has been a great love of mine, often helping me to see through the darkness to where the light could touch my skin…

Now, the darkness isn’t so scary… thank goodness for music, and the way it touches one’s heart.

I’m especially thrilled that God loves music as well… in fact, I’ve a ticket reserved for front row seats at one of the most anticipated, sold out, and glorious musical performances ever known. If you’re unfamiliar with the concert I speak of, it’s when the gates of heaven open, of course! That’s one concert I won’t be missing out on!

Even though the prompt was not to my liking, the cookies are still yummy…

Lemon Erasers…

Daily writing prompt
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

I want to say that this was my most epic fail, though in truth, I’m certain that there were far greater culinary catastrophes in my history… I simply chose an easy one to write about.

I’m not even sure how I managed to do it, but on a particular evening with my Chica, we got the craving for a dessert of some kind. Looking in her cupboards for available ingredients, along with a DIY Pinterest recipe, I confidently tackled what I thought to be a very simple recipe… thought being the operative word here!

I swear that I followed the directions, along with using the proper ingredients and measurements, but by the time they’d been properly cooled and neatly sliced into perfect squares… it was like biting into a rubber eraser that had been flavored with lemon, no joke!

Needless to say… they were totally inedible! Even the dogs turned their noses up at the chance for a human snack.

I’ve made some virtual Lemon Bars for our daily cookies, but this time they should be much better… just flick off the parts you don’t want.

Hard Learned…

Daily writing prompt
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

I can let go of, move on from, or overcome the absence of a myriad of things that this world offers… all of it!

The lesson that I wish I’d understood much earlier in my lifetime, is that what I cannot let go of, move on from or overcome any absence of, is God!

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie…

Flavors by Feel…

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite types of foods?

Forget wondering if my answer will be different than last years answer to this prompt question… my answer can change from one day to the next, depending on how I feel.

I have go to favorites for when I feel sad, or lonely.

I have my list of comfort foods for the dreary days.

I have a short list of terribly unhealthy junk food choices, for game days.

See what I mean…

Bottom line is that I love food, and aside from the list of definite no no’s for my health issues, I have a pretty broad palette of tastes.

I love me some good ole soups and stews with either homemade bread or rolls.

If I get my choice of toppings, I can make a pretty large dent in a pizza!

I can be extravagant in my tastes, but also, sometimes nothing says happy like a plain and simple pb n j, if you know what I mean.

Just think of me as Templeton the rat, from Charlotte’s Web, because when it comes to noshing on good eats, all I can say is…

Food, Glorious Food!

Speaking of glorious, these cookies should fit the bill…

I Finally Stopped Running…

Daily writing prompt
How often do you walk or run?

As I answered the question last year from an actual exercise point of view, I chose to think of the question metaphorically, if you will.

I spent most of my considerable years running…

Running from trauma, hurt, pain, rejection, judgement and unforgiveness from others. I choose not to do that any longer!

Instead, I now choose to walk forward, one day at a time!

So, in answer to the prompt… I walk every day.

But, I also make my friends cookies each morning.

Not that I’m trying to tell you how to eat a cookie or anything, but if you nibble on the toe’s first… the rest of the foot tastes better!

It’s Me, Not You…

Daily writing prompt
Do you see yourself as a leader?

I would make a horrible leader! I am over 50 and pretty grumpy… not what you want in a leader! I will be the first one to tell you that you are being an idiot, whether you actually are or not!

Too many years of watching folks make the same choices, while expecting a different outcome, has made me a bit jaded.

Before you start thinking I’m pointing fingers, don’t! Where do you think I learned to recognize stupidity and ignorance? Still seeing it in my day to day, so I’ve apparently got a ways to go before fully learning all my lessons. For that reason, I decline the position of leader… cause somebody might get hurt!

Just sayin…

Aren’t you glad I opted to be like the lunch lady and offer you cookies every morning?
