Well, here we are again, the week is over, and I’m so happy to see you! Grab your tea, iced or hot, oh! and a coffee for my girl, Annette, and let’s talk! Should you like to bring along any snacks, please feel free.  🙂

 

 

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: last Sunday was a bit hectic, but overall a good day.  I wound up doing the grocery shopping and errands then instead of Saturday.  So much for a day of rest.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I have a group on Facebook called “Let’s Talk Poetry & More!”  We talk about our favorite poets, writers, and quotes.  It’s not a group for self-promotion although I am considering opening one day a week just for that.  I’d love it if you joined us!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I didn’t have the day off for President’s Day.  I have such a terrible boss. 😀 I did, however, finish the last edit on my next book, “Short & not always Sweet“, Short Stories, Passages and Poetic Prose, and will be releasing it soon.  Cover by moi! I’m so excited!!  Yes, shameless self-promo, I know, but someone’s gotta do it!!  😉

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: that I’d love to be a meteorologist.  Why?  Because I can be wrong most of the time and still get paid!  They keep bracing us for these snow events, and we keep getting flurries.  I’m not complaining, no way!  But enough already.  Bring on spring!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: the full Supermoon was spectacular!!  Although it was cold, I was out there, taking it all in.  Do you think there was ever life on the moon? That craters were really parts of oceans and lakes, and mountains were once lush and green?  Can you imagine?!

2/19/19 Supermoon, The Snow Moon

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: they finally got it right and it snowed.  We were under a state of emergency, but we’re lucky if we got 3 inches.  What was that I said earlier about being a meteorologist? lol  Now they’re calling for temps in the fifties, so bye bye snow!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I had a good laugh today.  In my email I found, from Amazon, a request to rate one of my books.  The best part, they want to rate my PROOF of a book not even released.  I think they have some glitches in their system they need to iron out.  But it did give me a chuckle!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: my depression (yes, I suffer from) has deepened despite the laugh from Amazon.  I am having great difficulty with packing, to the point I haven’t even started.  It’s heart-breaking, realizing I have to move away and move on.  How do you pack up a life time of memories, into cardboard boxes?  Sigh…

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I spent a much needed day, with the hubby, doing nothing.  Although the sky was cloudy, my mood was definitely lifted! A perfect way to end the week.

As for this week coming up:

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: I have a doctor’s appointment.  Just my usual three month checkup.  And blood work.  Yuck

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: as much as I’ve enjoyed our time together this week, I need to scoot and do the food shopping for my Mom.  Have a great week ahead!!   ❤

I Doubt It ~ #poetry #WOTD #FOWC #RDP

Ever wonder if there’s a hidden theory

Simply itching, to find an easy way out

Hoping to clear the air, with its query

“Why do humans, find need to doubt?”

Weep softly for the broken

Comfort saddened hearts

Deviant Daughters – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

Mama always warned her girls
They best behave when on a date
But those two had a better idea
Words of wisdom, now too late

Once out the door, and in the car
They’d speed away, into the night
Find a place, they could change
Hit the scene, oh boy, what a sight

No longer were they demure ladies
So sweet, when they left the house
Now they were both quite deviant
One was even missing her blouse!

Come-hither eyes and lollipop grins
The guys were knocked off their feet
That is, until Bessy opened her mouth
Making most fellows, quickly, retreat

Not everything is as good as it looks
Better wait, before you praise and laud
The packaging may look great outside
But, sometimes, the product is flawed

Stars Sigh ~ #poetry #WOTD #FOWC #DWP

Perhaps someday, we will hear stars sigh

It happens when day commits to the night

When the finite land turns into infinite sky

And the darkness snuggles up to the light
