poetry thursday, on the 29th day...

really,
this is not desperate
last minute posting, really, it's not...
even though it is quarter to ten
and greys anatomy is on in 15 minutes
and it is supposed to be the conclusion to last week's cliffhanger
even though the television guide is saying it's a repeat
this is not a quickie...
there is thought, there is meaning...

and so instead i offer
my very first poetry thursday featuring my own words...

now, bring on friday.

day 28 and i'm here..i am...i'm here

5 fast but really good things on a wednesday...

-the reconnection with an old friend and reinstating of jokes
that are funny to no one else but us...and to being called "spiraljack"again.

-tickle/wrestle fights on the couch

-shrek the halls is coming on at nine...bring on the christmas specials!


-the huge white mugs my father in law gave us...i wish i could show you
the mugs he gave us last time...t-ack-y...but these, these, i love...


-quiet, relatively stress-less day at work...with hot chocolate...and a box of chocolates....
and noooooo customers...sigh....bliss.

go here. share five. do it. do it now.

a nablopomo tag on the 26th day

i was tagged by this wannabe cowgirl
to do a nablopomo meme...
the rules:
link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
share 7 random and or weird things about yourself.
tag 7 random people participating in nablopomo at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

so here goes:

  • when i was pregnant for both my kids, i craved the smell of permanent markers and exhaust fumes....paired with ice....i had a marker that was put away and every now and then i would allow myself one small whiff...if we were stopped at a red light, i lower my window just a bit for the exhaust fumes. bizarre but true.
  • i make a game out of everything...chopping potatoes, doing dishes, etc...any job that is repetitive...and no one knows i am doing it...thankfully.
  • i totally overuse this type of punctuation... and can't stop myself...
  • i have a vein that pops out on my forehead when i am upset or mad...
  • i eat a bag (big bag) of mike and ikes every day.
  • my arms are very crooked. to the point of grossing people out.
  • i crack my neck by grabbing the back of my head by my hair and twisting until my neck cracks. this also grosses people out.
Tada!
