Misinterpretation

He was sitting there, looking like he’s talking to someone at the same table…why did he ask me if he was already engaged? There was another gentleman sitting next to him…a double date perhaps? I hid behind a larger tree on the sidewalk and just watched for a while. I wasn’t about to walk in there when it looks like the table is full and what would I do? I would feel like a fifth wheel. But it always comes down to me, she thought…my menial brain goes into a kind of “you’re inadequate” quandary instead of just bucking up and walking right in as if I belong there. That’s always been my problem. I don’t feel like I belong anywhere.

Melissa misinterpreted James’ invitation to tea. The two gentlemen were waiting for her. Melissa seemed an excellent candidate. The woman sitting with the two gentlemen was an experienced employee they hoped would help convince Melissa to join their company.

Get to Know You #42

“What? Drool on my new couch? I spent half my pension on it! You may think that dog is an icon of loveliness, but if she gets on that couch again, I will launch her outdoors like a rocket!”

**I had a long laugh at seeing drool😉

Writing Prompts

I’ve had some luck with wishes

My life is mostly varied dishes

One day sunset hues in a wine here

Then I complain about a salmon sear

Macaroni and cheese says it is clear

Comfort food wishes are very dear

Salad, a dish so variety hued

You forget it’s a healthy food

Now soup might be an inspiration

Wishing it’s already a made creation

It takes work and imagination

To cook up wishes that cause elation

All in all wishes can come true

With perseverance and action too.

One-Liner Wednesday – My cup

I’ve read many books by VE Schwab, starting with “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” which I loved. I also loved the “A Darker Shade of Magic” series. This book is the first of two in a different series, “Vicious”. Also, the narrator is excellent.

“Victor and Eli begin as college roommates and discover that near-death experiences, under the right conditions, can create superhuman abilities.”

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (November 18, 2024) 📚📚

I chose number 2:

Rocky Mountain National Park

I think you already know I live in Wyoming. It is not my choice. I’d rather live in Colorado. This state is all red. Colorado is blue. And of course now all that doesn’t matter. I’ve ranted on this so I’ll skip off to a favorite subject of mine, mountains. The Rocky Mountains stretch from New Mexico to British Columbia. If you want to see the various altitudinal zonation changes, it’s your trip. I took this drive and for the first time I saw little pikas and yellow bellied marmots. There are elk, big horn sheep, and even bats flying over streams at night.

Diet Degrade

I came home from the doctor’s appointment and opened the cupboard. There lay all the supposedly healthy foods I used in my diet the last three months. My weight, my cholesterol, my general health was bad; the experts and blood tests reported, so I bought these lovely items to improve my well being. Today the new tests showed I had gained ten pounds, my blood counts were way off and in general, I feel lousy. So I pulled up my trash can and emptied out the cupboard. Then I got in my car and went straight to the KFC drive-thru.
