I Pledge Allegiance Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? Yes I am. I love my country, just not what it has become and what it has come to stand for and value as a whole. I Bequeath This Blog To The World, In Order To Improve It. Thanks for reading Misty )O( Blessed Be

A Little Sneaky Are writing prompts a useful exercise or do you find them to taxing or hokey? It depends on my mood really. Usually the prompts are really good and I can think of awesome things to write, but some days I just don't have it in me, so I fake it. They can still can be pretty funny.

Ready For Your Close Up Cast the movie of your life.   Due to the change and congruence with the person cast as me, I would like The T.A.R.D.I.S. to play me. With the chameleon circuit, The T.A.R.D.I.S. could pull it off.   Yep, The T.A.R.D.I.S. will play me.   That is all!   Allons-y!

Today this world is a little dimmer because my Nana is gone. The kindest woman I've ever met. She loved me dispute my shortcomings. She called me her sweetheart every time I visited. She always smiled when I arrived. She waited for my nightly call. She gave freely over her time love and resources. Her donuts were my donuts. She is at peace now, safe in her ideal heaven, with loved ones that went before her to prepare for her arrival. I am glad she is not in pain any more,  But we left behind are broke at her departure. Death is hardest on those left behind.  I Bequeath This Blog To The World, In Order To Improve It. Thanks for reading  Misty )O( Blessed Be

I'd Like To Thank My Cats You are about to get an award, either one that already exists or a new one just for you. What would that award be, why are you being honored? What will you say in your award speech? I think that I would be getting an award for just being me. The things that others see and on see as unique to me. I think that maybe everyone needs one of these. I think that just telling someone 'good job for x' is kinda the same thing. Even if not worded as such. How about someone drawing attention to my patch covered backpack and asking me about the patches. Liking the patch I made myself and telling me so, that was a little award. Mine would be for the many things that I like about myself. Today I have a playlist on that includes Poison, Tool and The All American Rejects. Odd, yes, but it keeps my head bobbing a little on the bus while I blog. Or my crazy socks...I wear crazy socks every work day, if I am wearing a dress, and you can see them, most days

Funny Ha-Ha! Do you consider yourself funny? What role does humor play in your life? Who is the funniest person you know? Hell yes I'm funny. I am the funniest person I know.

Secret Of My Success What makes a successful blogger? Do you strive for that? I don't care about being a successful blogger. I write for me, not for anyone else, if I did write for other people, I would not be true to myself. I guess the key to success would be lots of followers and the following money that comes with it. Would I like money? Yes, yes I would, but since I would probably blow it on Rt. 44 Ocean Waters at Sonics's happy hour, I'm ok without it! I am successful because I write for me. The times that I make my reader happy too is a super bonus. ;) I Bequeath This Blog To The World, In Order To Improve It. Thanks for reading Misty )O( Blessed Be

These Boots Are Made For Walking. Tell about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they have taken you. My favorite shoes were purchased at the Sketcher's store. They were in the sale are, and even then I thought they were too much to spend. $30.00 down from $60.00. After I had my arms twisted, I bought them. They were black, not dress shoes, but really work shoes. They are work shoes for what I do, I guess that makes them work shoes. I love these shoes. They were comfortable to we're on my walk to work as well as work. So as far as where they have taken me, they have taken me to work in style and comfort. I have worn them for so long that I have warn them pretty much out. That makes me very sad because search as I may, I have never found a pair that is its equal. I have a pair that I bought thinking it would be, but alas, it was not. I will continue to wear them at work, but because they are not getting any younger, I wi not wear them on the walk into

Viral The New York Times is going to feature your blog on its home page, and you have been asked to publish a new post - It'll be the first thing tens of thousands of readers see. Write it. I don't think that I would write about a something substantial. Maybe a humorous blog? Maybe something about cheese? Maybe I would write about my awesome new project? Yep, that's it! I am finally putting together a blanket that I had been working on to have done by my 40th birthday. With that less than two weeks away, and since I always meet my self imposed deadlines (please note the sarcasm here) I have decided to get it done now. I have worked on squares for this blanket for at least two years now, on and off. I have many, but not enough for a project of this size. So I decided to raid other projects that I had started and not finished (because I start many things and never finish them), I have many pieces to work with. So far I have put together three bigger pieces and

Fifteen Credits Another school semester will begin soon. If you are in school, are you looking forward to starting classes? If you are out of school, what do you miss about it - or are you glad those days are over? I am in school, and school starts next Monday. Aside from all of the other stress in my life, I am super excited about this semester. I feel like I am finally on the right path, finally going the right way. I am excited about the classes, I am excited about the big picture, I am excited to learn about things that have to do with what I want to be when I grow up!

Standout When was the last time that you really stood out in a crowd? Are you comfortable in that position, or do you wish you could face into the woodwork? That time I was sleep walking and wound up at Wal-Mart nekked in the wee hours of the morning. I so do not like being the center of attention in a big crowd. A close small group of adoring friends/fans, yes... Honestly, I cannot recall a time I stood out in a crowd, and that is either because I have not stood out in a crowd, or I have blocked it out? Who knows. I can remember being in a group of people, and people were there to see me, so I felt like I stuck out, but in reality, I did not.

Freak Friday You experience your own Freaky Friday, and switch bodies with someone you love/hate. Tell us what happens. I would switch places with the cat. Naps all day and chasing the other cat for fun. Yep, the cat! Not really the cat. Let's see. Maybe is trade with my boss. It might be easier to know what she needs from me at work, if I knew how her brain worked and what all she faces that I don't see. On that front, I'd trade with my wife, for the same reasons. And vise versa. And I know that it sounds stereotypical, but I would trade with my daughter, Cara. She needs to see the struggles that she faces if she doesn't finish school now when she is young. I have to admit, my life is pretty good, I love my job, I am excited about school starting in a few weeks, so honestly, trading lives with my daughter might backfire. However, she would see what it is like to HAVE to work and go to school. Maybe I would trade with someone who is in power, and is

Mirror Mirror On The Wall Think of your blog as a mirror: What does it reveal? Consider your blog name, theme choice, bio, posts.. what does every element tell you about yourself? I don't know that it really says much other than that I like certain colors? My layout is nothing special. It is a preloaded template. The name says that I am addicted to words, which really isn't true. The theme choice, honestly, I can't remember what it is, I post by email most of the time. The bio is the same one that I have had for a while. Might actually be time to change it? I guess that I will look into it. As for the post topics, those are from a prompt a day deal, and I have take as a challenge for this year. I don't really know what my blog says about me? Only my wife reads it, and again, from email. I am glad she reads it, but I think that even if she didn't, I'd still write. It exercises my brain. I will be going back to school soon, nervous and excited about it

Drawing The Line Can anything be funny, or are somethings off limits? Some things are off limits. I think that everyone has different things that are off limits to them. I know in have mine. I imagine that just about anything could be funny to the right people in the right circumstances. I guess this is a lot like the PC prompt for the other day. However, the things that I find off limits, I would never be able to find acceptable. In that way it's different. I Bequeath This Blog To The World, In Order To Improve It.

You're on a long flight, and a plan reader sitting next to you insists she reads your palm. You hesitate, but agree. What does she tell you? She tells me that because I ate nothing but crap the few days before this trip, and because of my dislike, verging on fear or airplane bathrooms, I will be sick to my stomach most of the flight.* Also, that my ruffles gingham t-shirt dress, with matching hair bow looks very cute.** * I ate crap for dinner, and too much of it to boot, that's probably why this 'happened' **If you know me, you know the story about this dress.

P.C. Is political correctness a useful concept, or does it stifle honest discussion? I guess that it depends on the conversation and those participating in it. I think it is important to know those things in pretty much any situation... For instance, I walked to the bus stop this morning and when I got to my stop, there is hobo sleeping there. I felt forced to walk up to the next stop, for my own safety, so I wouldn't be begged from, etc. I really wanted to post something about it on Facebook, but since there is no telling who I will upset and what I would have started if I had. In that case, I do not know the personal feelings toward the homeless (drunk hobos who sleep at bus stops) so I didn't post it. Honestly, I would have to say that people hide behind the term PC. It has been twisted and contorted by both sides of pretty much every issue until I am not sure what it really means. There are some people who would want to use the N word, but would blame PC on

Move To Tears Describe the last time you were moved to tears by something beautiful. A video that we watched on the Internet. It was a commercial about a man's morning ritual and walk to work, and walk home. All of the people that he encountered and lives he touched. At the end, there is a moment when it looks as if something sad may have happened, but it is revealed that it is in fact the opposite and a very happy ending. Makes me tear up just thinking about it. If you have PMS, you are advised to stay away, otherwise, look it up. It's a Taiwanese commercial for a power company or something. I'll look it up later and put in a link.

Smell You Later Humans have a very strong scent memory. Tell us about a smell that transports you. Oh, so many...different smells to different places. Fair food, and sometime Sonic smells this way, takes me back to my childhood. There is a certain cologne that takes me back to highschool and a boy I dated for a while. Volkswagens also take me back to that boy, but who has the chance to smell an old car like that often? Oh, this is a good one... Ok, in the summer, she. I get into the van, with the windows rolled up, usually after my better half has smoked I bothers recently, it smells like my grandparents car when I would go visit them when I was a child. That is the best smell in the world. The smell of deli bacon cooking also reminds me of their house. There is also just a smell that certain people have, each their own, that makes me happy, reminds me of better times, even if the times now are not so good, or nonexistent. Better times with friends long gone. Before bad

Never Again Have you ever gone to a new place or tried a new experience and thought to yourself, "I'm never doing that again!" Write about it. Yes, but I don't really like to talk about my S&M days. Haha! Gotcha, I LOVE to talk about them... Again, gotcha, no S&M days in my past or future...that you know of. The only thing I can think of would be meals out. I have gone to precious few "new" places. I know what I like and I stick with it. Occasionally I get to go to a "new" place and try something new. I still try to find something that is familiar to me. Few times I have been adventurous and tried new things. I can't recall now where or what it was, I just know that there was something on one of these outings that I did not prefer. I think that I must have blocked it, because most of those times I have been with friends so the good times outweighs and shadow the icky meal. I feel like it was Italian food though? Strange. Oh

Everything Changes Walking down the street, you encounter a folded piece of paper on the sidewalk. You pick it up, and read it immediately, your life has -changed. Describe this experience. Walking to the bus stop Wednesday morning, still feeling rather run down, but listening to chipper classical music to keep me going, the morning seemed as if it were like any other. Random thoughts and to do's pop into my head and I enter them in my to do list so I don't forget. I've made it through the golf course and over the bridge. Today I decide to stay on the west side of the road until the light. Walking along I notice all the rubbish and think to myself what a shame it is that people in general think it is ok to do this to our city, state, country, planet, home. There is one piece of paper that I encounter, but it's not tossed out as if rubbish, it is neatly folded and looks as if it could not have been outside very long. I decide to pick it up. Who I knows, it mi

Ballerina, Fireman, Astronaut, Moviestar When you were 10, what did you want to be when you grew up? What are you now? Are the two connected? I wanted to be a truck driver for a while. Then I wanted to be a secretary, I am not sure what inspires this. I want to say it was 9 to 5, but I don't feel like that is accurate. I also can't imagine what else it could have been. Other than my love of office supplies since I can remember, I cannot think of what it was. I used to play 'office' when I was younger. I am an Executive Assistant right now, and I love my job, most days, and most of my responsibilities. So, as to how the two are connected... I pretty much have my dream job! Lucky me!

"Tell someone just how proud you are of them" (or some shit like that)   I'm proud of my wife. She doesn't see herself in the awesome bright light that I see her in. She doubts all the things. But what she doesn't realize is that her wife (uh...me) looks up to her. No, I don't want to be like her. That would be stupid and weird. I wouldn't date me..so why would two same ppl want to be together.. No.. But look up to her, yes. She is smart. Beautiful...regardless of size, shape, all that dumb shit. She is a good mom. Is great at her job. A superb problem solver. Caring, thoughtful. She makes and achieves goals. Maybe not all of them, but the big ones, she knocks out of the park. She has the ability to not only put up with my stupid mental shortcomings, but loves me in spite of them when most would have given up on me so long ago. She is patient. Kind. Funny. She has made me a better person, believe it or not. And she has allowed me to support her journe

Back To The Future Anachronism (noun): an error in chronology; a person or place that is chronologically out of place.

Green Eyed Monster Write an anonymous letter to someone you are jealous of. I cannot think of any one person that in am jealous of. I am jealous of aspects of people, especially those that can sleep in, or sleep through a whole night. Those that can loose weight easily, or eat what they want with little to no consequence to their weight. I want to be jealous of people who have more money than me, but in most cases they made different life choices than I did to get where they are. My life choices are my own, so I can't be jealous, that would be dumb! I am jealous of my dad's third wife's kids. They don't realize they had something I missed out on, and for the most part they shit all over it, and him. But again, everything happens for a reason, and I have been thinking more and more that the reason I was not around him much is because he was an addict and drank a lot. With the things that I have seen lately about drunk people being mean, I can only assume that thi

Origin Story Why did you start your blog? Is that still why you blog, or has your site gone in a different directions than you'd planned? I started my blog so that I could get my thoughts out in a location that I would not loose. Like journals and the like. I do change the location of my blog from time to time and that sucks. I have to move the whole thing. Anyway I started this blog so that I could write everyday. I do write everyday, even if I BS my way through it, kinda like I am now...

A House Divided Pick a divisive issue currently in the news. Write a two-part post in which you take on two personas and approach the topic from both sides. Bonus points for a creative format (roundtable discussion, debate transcript, etc). The Star Gate that was discovers in Iraq is the reason that we went to war with Iraq: It is obvious that is true because our soldiers spend so much time and effort getting to the museum that it was thought to be stored in. Also, if oil was the reason that we went to war with Iraq, then why haven't gas prices gone down? There have been so many sudden technological advances in areas where Star Gates have been found, and that is true of this gate as well. The only reason that we are not seeing the same advances is that the government cannot be so flippant about using those advances. They have to be careful with how they present them, otherwise people will get wise. Plus, being the government, I am sure that they are selling these new technolo
