Funny Friday Photos: Sassy Pants

Happy Friday!

The last two weeks went by really fast! I didn't mean to skip last week's post. It just kind of happened, because there always seems to be something to do on Thursday nights. Heck, there's always something to do EVERY night!

I've decided I really hate chapter two of Through the Fairy Ring and I need to figure out something different to go there. Every time I try to write it I just get a heavy feeling in my chest and I can't do it. I've been fighting to keep going for a long time now because I need to have a chapter two but I've decided to listen to my instincts and ditch it. I'm already more excited about coming up with a new idea than I ever was about the chapter. I'm thinking about getting Edlark and Hazel into a scene together. That would be way more fun than what's currently going on.

I'm really liking Adam Lambert right now. His voice is absolutely amazing. Okay, so he's cute, too, but mostly I'm enthralled with his voice. My sister would have loved him. Anyway, I'm listening to his album The Original High almost constantly. I've always liked his songs, but something about Another Lonely Night moved my interest level up. It might be a good song to add to my Through the Fairy Ring playlist. It kind of sums up Hazel's state of mind at the beginning of the book. Have you heard it? Here's a link if you want to see it.

Shall we move on to new photos? There's some cute ones this week! Last week was a fifty/fifty tie, so I didn't post the winners here.

I don't know which is my favorite! I really like sassy pants, but Miss Frizzle's bus makes me laugh!

Which is your favorite?

Did you have a nice last two weeks?

Funny Friday Photos: Clear Skin

Yay for Friday!

It's been quite a week here. Between my mom's health, getting my kids ready for and back to school, and work stresses, there has been very little time for anything else. Hopefully it's all smoothing out now, though. My mom is doing better, my kids made it through their first two days of school and we'll just get through the work stuff one office day at a time.

David is finally in the majority. Peanut Gallery got two of the three votes from two weeks ago, and is our winner. Congratulations, David!

So, let's see what I can find for this week!

I'm sorry?

That's pretty specific criteria for toilet usage.

And time for the pun:

Funny Friday Photos: Happy Beavers

Happy Friday!

This week I realized three years have passed since I published Finding Meara. I think it's safe to say I've lost any momentum in the publishing side of things. That's okay, though. I've been rather introspective about life since starting working with the elderly population. I've decided life is what fills the space between birth and death, and I'm happy with what has filled my life so far. I used to feel like if I didn't accomplish some amazing feat I was not living life to it's fullest. But now, I think I've given priority in my life to the things that matter most, and I'm not too worried about accomplishing some amazing feat.

But, I'm still going to write and publish stories! That's just fun!

Thank you so much to Roland, Suzi, David, Lexa and Joe for commenting and voting for photos! Because of you, we actually have a winning photo this week! And that is...
