100 Words - Sounds of Nature

The menu screen of the DVD "A Bug's Life" is one of my favorite things. I love to put it on and just fall asleep to the sound of birds and insects. If it's possible to wear out a DVD just by repeating the menu screen, I'll probably have to buy a new one soon. What I really want is a recording of the frogs I hear at night. I love that sound. It's so soothing. I take comfort in simple things, because simple things comfort me. An insect's chirp. A bird's sweet melody. A comforting simple song of nature.

  

100 words - candy hearts

The candy hearts dropped from the bag during her trip home. One "Love" here and a "Kiss Me" there until all were gone. She didn't even notice that they had disappeared, she had her mind on the things most 13-year-old girls do...boys! Pretty enough, she had her share of crushes, but by age 50, she was weathered and alone.  She gave up on love and perished within a few years of solitude. No visitors or flowers at her grave. The only thing to prove that she was ever here...a tiny pink heart on a mound of dirt. "Be Mine".

  

100 words exercise

These are the stairs that lead to my mansion where I live with my detective husband. Upon entry, you'll notice the black and white checkerboard marble flooring. I'm sure you are impressed. The entryway is just our way of letting you know that we are sophisticated. There is no need to go beyond this point, for if I let you investigate further, you may see the empty wine bottles and the holes in the wall from last night's argument. Home is where the heart is and it's also where we look fabulous on the outside, but we are ugly within.

 

I forgot you

For a minute today, I thought I was normal. I forgot the mirror and lost sight of my reflection. Nothing to remind me of the things I hate. I experienced sweet bliss in that moment. My inner self beamed bright. The glow could be seen from space. Lighter than air, was the feeling in my soul. Yes, I forgot today who I was. I took a walk to celebrate. What?!? You're not allowed to be happy! Reality came a-knocking and kicked me to the curb. Minute over. Special glow vanished. Replaced by something more sinister. Damn you, reflective store window!

Selling stuff!

I like advertisements! I am constantly looking out for the next big thing or useless kooky item I just have to have! That's why I signed up to let Google and Amazon put ads on my blog page. They'll pay me when someone clicks on the ads. How cool is that?!? I love books, movies, and music, so they should be centered around those. It doesn't matter how little they pay because it all adds up! You know you want to look at those Lindt truffles and that new book by Stephen King! Click away ya'll, and help me out!

Sugar is our friend!

I used to LOVE sugar. It's bad for you and it wreaks havoc on your teeth. I am proud to say, that as of today, I am 18 days sugar free! I've lost a few pounds and I feel so much better, but I still miss my sugar fiend persona every day! She was fun. She melted Hershey's Chocolate bars and dipped popcorn in it. She used to buy the Rt. 44 cherry slush at Sonic and make it last for days. You could make a spoon stand up in the sugar at the bottom of her cereal bowl. I miss sugar.
