Friday Five
1)
Never fear, I have no plans to stick Big Righty in your face today. But if you’re jonesing for some digits, click for a large handful:
Big Righty asked to address his readers, the hammy phalange. I fear I’ve created a navel-gazing toe. I include his thoughts here:
I’m currently purple, black, and yellow, thanks for asking. I need a pedicure, but I don’t want anyone to touch me. Yesterday, even though Lisa was wearing her rigid shoe-thing, she bumped into her son, and when I made contact with his sneaker, she screamed for both of us.
It’s those graceful motor skills that landed me in this velcroed contraption.
Lisa has been doing a lot of lolling lately. Not by choice, of course, but she doesn’t need to combine the lolling with bowls of Love Potion #31, does she? Someone needs to remind her that hobbling doesn’t burn that many calories, so she should ease up on the groceries.
2)
I am the proud auntie of a brand new niece. Welcome to the world, sweet baby B. I get to meet her in 15 days, yay! Mother and baby are doing very well. YAY!
3)
See my icon? The Simpsons have already thought of everything, haven’t they? In FLASH BURNOUT, my main character’s dog is named The Dog Formerly Known as Prince. Now I see that I’m not as clever as I thought I was. (I re-learn that all the dang time.) I swear I never saw that Simpsons’ episode. But I’m not changing it, no way!
4)
I finished N.A. Nelson’s book, BRINGING THE BOY HOME, and loved it! Now my son is reading it. I’m afraid he’s becoming a “reluctant reader,” so I’m thrilled whenever he gets captivated by a book.
5)
“Mom, can I ask you something?”
My son always sounds very serious when he poses that question. I always say, “Of course,” while mentally gearing up to address something like “Why is there cruelty in the world?”
But so far, they have always been questions along the lines of: “Which rap group came first? Grandmaster Flash, The Sugarhill Gang, or Run DMC?”
Whew!
I hope when the hard questions come along that I’m up to the challenge.
Special note to lisa_schroeder: Lisa, they had LP #31 at Baskin-Robbins in pre-packed quarts!!!!
