Beginning Badly

Reasons I am wary of 2016…

Not even one hour in (at 00:30), I get a sore throat and a cough. I am no longer fighting off a cold – I have succumbed. I so far have spent the entire year in my pajamas, by the vaporizer. My puppy (Ziva) is snuggled up to me wherever I sit or lay. She is comforting, and warm.

I reek of vapor rub and dog. My nose and upper lip are reddish-pink, and slick with intense moisturizing creme. God only knows what condition my hair is in. I have not looked into a mirror since I got sick. I have looked, when sick, before this, and I learned it is very BAD to know you could scar small children for life. Hell, I scare myself.

On the 4th I broke a tooth. I already had a dentist appointment to fix the tooth that broke last year. On the 6th, the chipped tooth turned out to be a crown that completely fell off. At my appointment, instead of prepping the broken tooth, my dentist decides to replace the old crown, and off I go with a temporary one for two weeks. The temp popped off last night. No kidding it was temporary! NeonTooth

So… Monday (tomorrow) I need to call and go in for a new and improved replacement temporary. I do not have time for this crap!  But I change things on my schedule anyway. The thought of dentures creeps me out.

It’s Sunday and I have a football dilemma. Two of the 49er’s nemesis’ are playing against each other in a Wild Card match-up. Who do I cheer for? Vikings or Seahawks? I don’t want to cheer for either team, however I think I hate the Seahawks more. The day is early, so I could always change my mind closer to game time. When your team is not playing, it really doesn’t matter. I don’t even have to watch, but I love football.  It’s a curse.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to see what happens next week.  Stay tuned…

First Guest Post of the Year!

Our first guest post!!  Thanks to anonymous for sending it.  😉

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
I eat mop…

I am ashamed that it took me a good 5 minutes to get it. This is how slow my brain function is now, while I fight off a chest cold.

Even though I “get it” I don’t think it is a giggle – more of a groan. However, because the number of entries was lower than I had hoped (1), anonymous is the hands-down winner for this week.

Congratulations!  I hope you will “come out of the closet” in the near future, and share more with us.

I will be telling your joke to my grandchildren next time I see them. I’m pretty sure they will giggle – a lot!!

HappyNewYear

So…  This day is it for 2015.  Yawn.

Another year in which I did not finish my novel.  Oh, it has over the NaNoWriMo 50,000 words, but it is a long way from being in any sort of shape to send to a publishing house.

I know it’s my fault. This fall I was so busy with other distractions that it sat, lonely in my office, waiting. Whenever I tried to work on the thing, I would run into something else I needed to research.  Grrrr!  I am tired of research after 3 years, but I want the story to be perfect.  Is that too much to ask?

Probably.

OK. That was the Bits.  Now for the Giggles (I think they are funny anyway…)

New Years Eve is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without being mistaken for a stripper.

Dear God, my prayer for 2016 is a FAT bank account and a THIN body. Please don’t mix it up like you did this year.

Did you know that McDonald’s is offering the “Obama Happy Meal?”  Order anything you want. And the guy behind you has to pay for it.

 

See ya Next Year!
