Don't Be Jealous


I got my notice today.
Seriously, I'm on the official winners list.
I mean, the winner selection list. 
Same thing,right? 


Pretty excited to start getting my $5000 a week.
I'm trying to decide what to do first.

Also, just for me, 
this fabulous offer-

Three nickels for $3.99! 
Holy smack, what a deal. 


Don't worry.
When I'm all rich and fancy,
I'll still blog. 
I'll tell you all about my fabulous life.

And, post pictures of my amazing nickel collection. 
I promise not to forget you.

      I'm thinking I need to invest in a safe. If they're worth 3.99 now, who knows how much they'll be worth in say, ten years.

      Yeah, I can understand that. I'm pretty sure it was an exclusive offer, just for me.

    Hey! I just got an email telling me how to collect the one million pounds I've won in some British sweepstakes I've never entered. Perhaps we can summer together on the coast of wherever rich people do that kind of thing.

      Shoot, we'll be so rich we can pay other women to be topless FOR us. ;)

      I think if you stay in your bathrobe all day, it increases your chances of winning.

    I'm officially jealous. And I've made a print-screen copy of where you said you wouldn't forget the ubiquitous "us." So. Whatever that means, I'm in :)

    Thanks to TangledLou, who seems to know all the goodies and vice verse, I've found you. And I'm loving your blog. Love the "Who I am" page, love the humor, love the pictures.

    Love it.

Illusive Peace

Her house is stifling.  The fan above her clicks a rhythm and she lays as still as she can, hoping for relief. She pushes herself up, forcing movement that reverberates in her head. Walking through the rooms, she checks windows, praying for the breath of a breeze. She loves this house. Here she nursed and nurtured her babies.  The walls show signs of life-- fingerprints and smudges.  Smiling faces, captured and framed, adorn the walls. But, the walls are closing in and she retreats to the sanctuary of her room.  The thoughts are pressing, intensifying the pain in her head.  She tries with all her might to force them out. You're not welcome here . Still, they come. Persistent, they are. The fan beats in time with the judgements- ' not e-nough, not e-nough, not e-nough'.   She puts out the welcome mat, hoping for sleep.  Instead, she cries, curled into herself. But, the day is like any other, demanding, not to be ignored.  Amazing how ...

Small Stones

Crimson leaves pirouette and plie, Tenaciously hanging on to their knotted barre. The troupe sways in rhythm,  A late autumn dance, Moving to the music of the wind. (This was my Small Stone, written today for Mindful Writing Day .)

Listen to Me

Did you ever wake up in the morning, like usual, you turn over, check the time on the clock, happy to have a few more minutes, listen to the sound of your kids downstairs, cringe at a shout, stretch, then, suddenly-- you remember? Then you lay there all alone and smile stupidly to yourself? That was me. This morning. The reason for my stupid smiling? This- http://www.listentoyourmothershow.com/northernutah/ Last night, just before bed, I got an email. (Yes, I check my email A LOT. It's on my phone, so...) This email congratulated me on being selected for Listen to Your Mother. (jumping, squealing, maybe a victory dance) My audition was such a coincidence that it surely cannot be coincidence. I was perusing the internet and looking at random ads on a local news site. I clicked on 'Auditions/Pageants', hoping I could enter a Mrs. Frumpy Utah contest. (Me in an evening gown and tiara? Dream come true!) And, there I saw an ad for LTYM/Nothern Utah . In a fi...
