This and That on Monday
Last week at home...
New appliances (cross your fingers) are still working. I’m
no longer afraid of them and now feel comfortable approaching them cautiously for things like
ice, water, food and clean dishes.
Thank you, dear God, we received rain two days in a row and
may get showers today. I shivered last night while sleeping. The temperature
went from 105ish to upper 70’s. A cold
front. That’s what the weather peeps said
that was rolling in: a cold front. The storm caused damage in Springfield. The first day it rained, I swear to you, that I heard singing (imagine the munchkins in The WOO singing). That’s what it sounded like WOO Munchkin voices—singing…outside…in my yard.
My son turned 35 on July 4th. He's an amazing son. It’s high time he joined me in imaginary age reduction. Actually, I think we should all claim our real ages. Ahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa (That’s me bursting out in laughter.)
I’m writing on…
Daisy’s Dead (working
title), a short story (mystery) headed for 3500 – 4000 words.
I went to see…
The Amazing Spider-Man
with my daughter. It was her idea. She treated me. The movie saved most of the action
for the end. I almost injured her when a mutant (thing), on the screen, scared
me. I sort of jumped and hit her with a flailing hand. Good movie though.
In other news…
In Name Only by
author Carol Kilgore is being released tomorrow. There’s a giveaway here.
You can buy it
here at Amazon.
This week…
I won’t be posting after today on JW. I’ll be checking
in with the blogs some, though. Be back soon.
Questions for you, should decide to accept the mission of
answering: What has been your favorite
age thus far? Did you know that new appliances make different noises than your
old ones? Have you ever been injured in a movie theater by a non-threatening
relative?

And I try not to think about age.
Favorite age is hard to choose, but 30 was good.

Tossing It Out
All my relatives are threatening to be honest. ;0)
My fridge in my flat in Athens isn't as cold as it should be, but my landlady's not a very nice person, plus I move from here on Friday anyway, so I am going to leave it as is.
Why won't you be posting on JW? Will you create another blog? I hope so!
Lee, I wish I could share. So many areas need the rain. My yard is so crunchy it's scary.
Bex, I'm taking this week off from posting.
Congrats to Carol! I'm excited to read her book.
Hey, Lynn, I agree about claiming that age. Life just gets better even if the body may not. Did I miss something? Am I writing a mother/daughter book? I could and often threaten to. :)
Enjoyed reading your blog. Read about Carol's book exciting for her.
Thanks for the lovely comment on my post, much appreciated.

Swollen fingers - oh oh .. not nice - still you kept that up in the cinema too .. hope it goes down.
Happy birthday son - sounds like he's at the right age ... 35 - 45 or so .. and I too am told I look and act much younger - if only I could work out how to roll back the years!
You may with absolute pleasure have some of our rain - it's free to collect!!
Cheers and enjoy your week off .. Hilary
What has been your favorite age thus far?
Favourite age? I think that would have to be my late twenties and early thirties.
Did you know that new appliances make different noises than your old ones?
No, I don't think I've had appliances that long before.
Have you ever been injured in a movie theater by a non-threatening relative? This is a no. Don't go to the theatres much.
You can have some of our rain. Wettest June since records began in Britain, and July is shaping up to be the same.
Good luck with your short story! Great name!

Glad you like the movie. I've never been injured, but more than once have nearly pulled Walt's arm out of the socket when something on the screen surprises me.
I also enjoyed an unplanned absence from Bloggyland for the last 10 days or so...
I think that the 30's were great... though I might say the same about the 40's once I'm done with them... who knows!
It's difficult to say, because these days, 30 is the new 20 and 40 is the new 30, so you've got to shave a decade off your existing age and work it out from there... LOL!
