Odds and Ends

Well, Summer vacation has officially started. We made it through Kindergarten graduation, Memorial Day with family and that short kid continually snipping the ends of her hair off. I am not pleased with the tiny snippets of hair that are ending up on my floor but there is nothing that I can do about it once she cuts it off. I am expecting some books that I ordered for her to come in soon. The delivery is estimated for the 3rd to the 7th. Hopefully they'll ship it soon, that's the price I pay for being  so cheap that I chose the free shipping option. Check the top and sides of the page, you will see the book giveaways that I have listed on Goodreads. Today is the last day to enter, it ends tomorrow. Well, I have deadlines to meet and things that should have been done months ago so I'll be going to work on them now.

A bottle broke, the crash was distinctive. He heard it across the bar, and wondered how long it would be until someone cleaned up the mess. “Stupid! What the hell did you do that for?” “It was rancid.” “How would you know? You’re just the janitor.” “I was once the best sommelier in the country.”

“A bottle of wine. Surprise me.” “Yes sir. Anything else?” “A salad, add onion, tomato, diced peppers. Italian dressing.” “Will there be anything else?” “Not now, my date will be along shortly.” “Very well.” The waiter went to put in the order and he sat alone staring at the buffet. Lizzie would pick it immediately. He had no idea how she could eat off those things but her willingness to do anything was why he loved her. ___________________________________________________________ Why is he so amazed that she eats off of a buffet? Why is he ordering before she gets there? Is it going to be a good night? The word is buffet , the limit for this post was 150 words. This post comes in at 77 words.

OK once again we're combining days. Day 28 to day 30 all make for super short posts for me so I'm combining them.

School just ended and it's already time to begin preparing for the next one. Some of it has already begun.

OK there are a few things that you may or may not be aware of. So I'm taking a day to update you on them.

Today I take you from day 24 all the way to day 27 because they overlap a bit.

What do I miss?

Yesterday was a flash fiction day, and today is another break in the 30 Day Challenge. We will resume regular programming tomorrow. In the meantime, we're having an almost wordless Wednesday. Enjoy. trees It needs cutting Funny, the futrure looks like the past First born the baby

“Chop the onions, peel the potatoes, and brown the meat.” “Are you sure this is meat?” “Just do as you’re told.” “Yes, sir. Brown meat from green, coming right up.” The kitchen was a nightmare. Why had he ever given up the glamour of being a busboy? ________________________________________________________________

Ok fears, and hope for the future make for short posts. So I'm combining day 20 and day 21. I'm throwing in Day 22 as well because it's short and time is something I need more of today. Let's start shall we?

OK today is five things I lust after. What would those be? Let me think a minute.

Today is all about problems, grab a chair and a drink. It's time for a bitchfest.

Day 17 is something that I am proud of. What would that be?

Hmm, today is what if day. Let's find out what I go "what if" about. Some of the answers are obvious, some not so much.

He kept shouting out over the newscaster. The noise was ringing in her ears, making her head pound and her ears build pressure. Blood pressure rising with her temper she picked up the glass and flung it. “What the hell are you doing?” “Trying to get you to shut up.” “You could have killed me.” “It’d have been better than breaking my crystal.” _________________________________________________________________________________ Who is she? Why would she rather kill him then break her crystal? The word is crystal . The limit for this post was 100 words, this one comes in at 63. Click the link to be taken to M3 and the official rules.

What did I wear today? Clothes, whether or not I made it out of my pajamas by noon is another story.

Day 13 is how you feel about your body, and how comfortable you are in it. Indulge me if you will.

It's day twelve, and the topic is five men I find attractive. Let's go and see where we end up. It's rather easy to come up with them, limiting them to five is going to be a problem though.

Yes it is time to talk about family. I don't know about you but mine is insane.

OK it's time to see what the music player got, or rather what I want it to play. 

OK today is Day 9. Education is the theme. So just how important is education?

It always starts with coffee, at least half a pot if I don't get up early enough to have the whole pot alone. 

It's day seven, the day for pet peeves. Can I narrow it down to five?

The day had been long, the night was going to be longer. Food was a luxury out in the woods, and today had not made an exception of this rule. If anything it had made it worse. The weather was unforgiving. Bundled in only a windbreaker he had no idea how long he would be able to survive out here. The fire was smoldering making him glad he at least had some more wood to put on it. Food would be nice though. It would go nicely with the fork he had found in his pocket. Where is he? Why does he have a fork in his pocket? Did he go for a hike unprepared or did he get caught in a storm? ___________________________________________________________ This post was inspired by the Flash in The Pan Challenge over at the M3 blog.

OK mainstream music??

It's Day 5, today is what I want to say to an ex day. Does drop dead count?

OK I’m going to go ahead and guess that I cannot put an actual bullet through my day. Sooo.

Today is day 3 of the 30 and it’s a book I love.

OK we're still in the 30 Day Challenge . Today is something you feel strongly about. 

“Are you going to open or stare at it all day?”

Ok Red over at  M3  is doing a 30 day challenge. I'm going to attempt to play along. Here goes.

I actually managed to finish the A to Z challenge!
