Good Saturday afternoon, friends and fellow adventurers in life!! How are you? What hot and delicious things do you have simmering on the stove today? Handsome and I are happily perched at the top of a three day weekend. We are working with the animals, preparing for a fun bonfire tonight, and gradually improving the gardens and such.
Our days and nights have been so full lately. So brimming with activity and love, energy and variety.
I have been substitute teaching some here and there, reading and running when I can, and making improvements upstairs in the Apartment. I also spent some treasured time yesterday with my youngest daughter, which always makes my heart swell. So without a doubt I have had plenty of time for living fully. But not so much with time to sit down and write. Well, I do have at this moment 142 blog posts in draft form. And a spiral notebook two-thirds full of other ideas. And a purse-sized paper book bursting with mandala scribbles and such. Also a laptop heavy with this big fat novel at which I’m still nibbling, paragraph by paragraph.
But I can’t seem to finish any writing lately, because the days just speed by with normal, wonderful life stuff. I want very much to remedy this, but for now all I can produce is a list. A list of lies. Please enjoy, and please add some lies of your own in the comments.
- I am completely up to date on my various reading and Bible study projects.
- My husband and I agree perfectly on how much perfume women should wear.
- We also agree perfectly on how many different seasonings are needed in any given pasta dish.
- All of our spare top sheets in the house and crisply pressed at this moment.
- My kitchen pantry is enviably tidy and organized.
- I have a really good tan right now.
- And my nails have never looked better.
- Running on a regular basis is laborious and wasteful and not at all profitable to life.
- I don’t miss Daphne at all. I never walk outside and look for her then suddenly remember she’s gone.
- We are constantly running out of good coffee and cream.
- My husband never drives too fast.
- I never feel jealous or insecure.
- My sense of personal style is completely sensible and conservative.
- The chickens hardly ever kick up the dirt out of the flower bed because they love a clean sidewalk.
- We understand fully why the kids aren’t here.
- I never, ever commit irritating typos.
- I also only use the word “AWESOME” when called for.
- The idea of planting flowers in a few weeks just bores me to tears.
- I can’t even imagine where else we could fit another garden, anyway.
- Obviously we already know everything there is to know in life, and nothing is amazing.
So there you have it. Twenty lies. I am sure more untruths are lurking in the shadows, so please help me uncover them! Add your own lies in the comments, and I will choose a winner at random to receive a Lazy W Critter Tea Towel.
Happy long weekend everyone!! Thanks for stopping in!
