How many times had she been woken by the same nightmare? “It was a dark and stormy night” she thought…Edward Bulwer-Lytton was the first person to write that phrase on paper, but it was happening in her dreams every night!

Jane had tea and a warm bath to dispel anything that might disturb sleep. She cuddled under the quilt, and with heavy eyes, fell asleep. She woke to find herself in a storm, returned to the catacomb.

“Well Joe, I’m not going to whitewash my review with a comment that might ostracize me from the press, but my stars, can you believe this?”

Jack was considered a lexicon in the fashion world and hesitated to agree with Joe, but he honestly felt that this designer needed therapeutic help and fast!

“Look at them sharing a toast to him, and everyone with a clink of the glass says this creation deserves recognition. The color is a good choice but that cut out design and the black under garments? What an atrocity are they celebrating!”

COLOUR

WHITEWASH

It all started with paper stars and green fizz. It was not going to be your typical baby shower! Even though only a few knew the “origin” of the expected infant, many were invited to celebrate. It was an ominous but finely anticipated event to see the newborn—the result of the first Martian/Human “connection”.

Week 1 (March 1-7) – The giant fell into the raging sea.

Week 2 (March 8-14) – Gamma rays entered her veins.

Week 3 (March 15-21) – Paper stars and green fizz.

Week 4 (March 22-31) – He traced every curve with the tip of his tongue.

Compromise is the name of the game — you can either do it or not, always a choice you have to make. Sometimes it’s on the spur of the moment and your first thoughts rule. Well, that’s my experience anyway.

Anything that takes a lot of thought time is a lot harder. So it’s probably best to try to think ahead about what you might do in a situation that requires a compromise with you needing to take the hit.

Seriously though, taking the hit is not so bad, usually—you will be okay and even be glad you did.

The pattern was tasteful but the bright hot pink paint gave Joe, holder of the cruse, pause. He had shelled out most of his current pocket’s capital for this potato concoction on the advice of fellow coworkers. Every Friday a woman earned a few dollars for her homemade offerings, which were as some said, “beyond compare”.

The mug was full of creamy ingredients and did nothing to help quell a stomach’s lurch from last night’s hangover. He felt obligated as she dealt out mugs for all in the office lunchroom. A sip was all it took and Joe suddenly left the room.

Curious minds must seek

Spiral down, take the chance

Frightening shivers crawl over your spine

Inquisition pulls though you should decline

Because who knows what lies at the end of that line?

St Patrick’s day was not the day to be out on the water in Boston harbor.

colorful garments

dancers hiding their sadness

history not shown

beautiful worn faces smile

dance with passion to forget

Yes I am sad and disappointed since we hardly acted in a swift manner, to make a statement of acceptance to Ukraine President Zelenskyy‘s original pleas for help. 🙄😔
