list. because.
there is something in the water this week.
flexibility is a four letter word.
pre-teen girls should be caged. and muzzled.
i’ve developed a disturbing twitch.
my happy place is out of reach, except for random moments.
anything you can buy at a beer distributor place should count as beer.
friday. how do i love thee, friday.
naturally, when i put away the winter coats and sweaters, we have a snow forecast.
i threw something today. and it wasn’t just a fit.
will you come see me thursdays and saturdays?
i got a poetry book in the mail today. i read a poem to my girl people and they both wanted to poke their eyes out. i know spouseman doesn’t care much for poetry either- he barely tolerates mine. perhaps this means that no one will bother my book. it even has a ribbon book mark thing. is pretty.
i wonder if i speak my native tongue.
i’m staying up too late tonight, so i’ll remember my dream, so i can analyze it at this cool dream analyzing website. because it’s a new toy. i like new toys.
teenage girls aren’t any more tolerable than pre-teens. for the record.
it’s a loud world. and i wouldn’t want to paint it.
the next person who rolls their eyes at me…
have i mentioned it’s friday almost.
this song makes me calm.

like,like,like. and yes to the beer store. eat the young
and what did you throw?
nice list
I could go for several beers right now.
I now believe that, judging from the way you use language and from the removed and detached expressions you use when referring to other people, that you are an alien. Seems you are peering at us from another dimension. Far out!
definitely, about the water. ~~~and this list is pretty amazing.
you reminded me that I need to contact my local beer distributor.
Snow, really? Ick. We are supposed to have rain this weekend which will be fun but not as much fun as snow. Yay for weekends. Happy Friday.
I love your list. And the song. And your background. I need to change mine. I took the day off since I was so miserable yesterday, so yay for Friday!
That’s quite an interesting list. Also formidable. I don’t usually throw things but it might have happened once. In your case, if it wasn’t *just* a fit, what was it also?
There are times I think daughters of any age should be caged
@plantinthewindow - @ordinarybutloud - on this occasion it was the spawn’s piano books. because i’m just dreadfully tired of everyone dumping their piano books by the front door. because really the piano is only about 10 steps away. previous tantrums (long ago when spawn was small) have included full cups of coffee at the wall. naturally, that lead to a mess i had to clean up (as did this one) and the coffee works better internally anyhow. and a fit. i can throw a very attractive fit. (even though i’m somewhat out of practice.)
@SisterMae - you are suggesting that all females should be caged. i think this might be a good plan.
@songoftheheart - are you feeling better?
@Cestovatelka - it’s a plan
@leaflesstree - apparently a false alarm
@runisom48 - i’m only detached from reality. an alien?? YOU think I’M an alien??
@godfatherofgreenbay - you have an agreement with your beer distributor?
@promisesunshine - I know my Mother felt that way about me many times I sort of danced to the beat of a different drummer and I know I made her crazy…
@SisterMae - i keep hearing that daughters are like their mothers, in which case, i couldn’t possibly make up my youth to my mother. my youngest marches to the beat of a different band. she’s a great kid, though. just drives me outta my tree. (especially this week.)
sorry, i’m talking too much.
@promisesunshine - I have a daughter and a step daughter so I totally catch your drift here
“my happy place is out of reach”
Me too, except I say I have lost my peace.
I can’t get mad at rolling eyes because I know where my daughter learned it… some things come to haunt you.
“there is something in the water this week. “
With me it’s time… I wrote about time earlier… time is moving at a slower pace this week… an hour seems to last longer.
@JstNotherDay - i’m referring to other children’s rolling eyes too. something i’m not responsible for creating. i had too much to fill my time. i made it through my hours and i’m going to take some time this weekend to regroup. (starting with giving myself a reward before i do the thing i should do.)
it sounds to me like your happy place is much farther away. i hope you reach it. soon. i don’t remember if i read your time thing. i’ll look.
Oh, I didn’t post the time thing… it’s in my hand written journal… I thought people might just think I’m nuts. I guess I feel it’s ok if you think I’m nuts.
and thanks, my peace has only temporarily left me I’m sure… it’s never too far away. It’s only the last few days that it seems to be missing.
@JstNotherDay - ’splains why i couldn’t find it. it’s ok if i think you’re nuts because i am??! i think a lot of people have been lacking peace the past few days.
@promisesunshine - I blame the cosmos…
@JstNotherDay - yup. crazy cosmos.
I have a huge craving for the beer that was made in the town where I went to college and it seems my lifeline to it quit truck driving and the distributors around here stopped carrying it because of the solidarity to the Wisconsin microbreweries because of legislation signed by Governor Walker which put heavy taxes on Wisconsin beer so a lot stopped getting out of state beers to support our breweries. Anyway, I am trying to get beer all the way from Minnesota.
@godfatherofgreenbay - you could always go get a truckload.
I have a feeling that’s what I’m going to have to do. But with gas prices…sigh…I never thought there’d be a day when I’d think of gas before beer.
Some of these made me chuckle. I like bread and the tune. Thx for sharing.
[my happy place is out of reach, except for random moments.]… I can relate. That is such an awesome song. I’ve not heard it in ages, but I can see why it would sooth the savage beast within. Wonderful share. It’s now Saturday. Enjoy your weekend.
@godfatherofgreenbay - usually goes the other way. (gas after beer)
@MzSilver - thanks, you too. hope you’re feeling better or do soon.
@Grannys_Place - i’m able to chuckle now too.
Very cool post.
I still say daughters should be quarentined on Baffin Island, or Greenland til age 24.
@Bricker59 - still pondering how to get the airfare.
Teenage girls are the most dangerous creature on the planet….
@DislocatedTexan@ireallylikefood - i’m getting that.
I approve of this list and everything on it! And teenagers… I am with you. Let’s cage ‘em all.
@BoulderChristina - but you have survived. so maybe i will too.
@promisesunshine - I survived, yes. But I drool, pee my pants and drag my leg behind me.
@BoulderChristina - shit, i already do all that. and i still have 9 years to go. (god help me.) and i have a twitch. and i never finish my sen…
