First the good news.
It’s National Poetry Month, people – get your rhyme on!!!
I am Blogger of the Week over at The Byronic Man. How about that!! I won his contest – “Question of the Week – best band name plucked from the headlines” with the delightful band name “Tainted Meat”. They will be making their debut soon, I am sure. Pink Slime (thank you, Lenore) is the opening act, of course.
My honey really, really liked my poem “Give up the Peanut Butter Cups and Nobody Gets Hurt” which was an entry in the group participation “Better Living Through Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups” event organized and masterminded by the legendary blogger, baker and chain-saw wielding Peg0leg. It was so much fun, and the King Sized Peanut Butter cups waiting for me this evening after work was a example of delayed gratification (it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, kids – get your gratification while you can – instant gratification whenever possible).
Today I am guest blogger over at The Monster in Your Closet. Deb’s “For This I am Thankful” series has presented us with deep and thoughtful posts by very talented writers – make sure you read some of them if you haven’t already. I have written – what else? – A POEM!! Yes. a poem. Deb has the very cutest little boy, a tender heart filled with amazing strength, and an ability to write heartbreakingly beautiful words. I am in awe of her amazing writing abilities and quite envious, if the truth be told.
Now for the bad news…
Oh, to hell with the bad news – let’s worry about that another day….Party on!
Wise choice, although I hope the bad news isn’t really bad. 😉 I look forward to reading your post over at The Monster in Your Closet.
I guess I shouldn’t have left it like that but, dang it all, I was tired last night after midnight and just up and quit writing. I need my beauty sleep as I seem to be a couple decades behind on that….
I liked the ending. Sometimes you just have to say screw the bad news. 🙂
Yeah, and keep dancing until you pass out on the dance floor or until the bad news goes away…
I am very excited to read your guest post over at Deb’s but now I’m concerned about your bad news.
You will laugh when you read the bad news – I promise.
Yikes. So I take it it’s not that bad?
I promise you will laugh. Have I ever steered you wrong? Not only is it not that bad, it isn’t even not “not good”. Patience, Grasshopper.
hahaha This post is full of some seriously awesome awesomesauce. Cannot WAIT to read your FTIAT poem!
Get on over there – it is such fun to do a guest post.
Oh dear, concerned about the bad news.
Be right over to Deb’s to read another awesome poem, I’m sure.
I have a concern. Andy still hasn’t arrived to Judith’s house. usps says he arrived to NZ at 7:15 am, April 12, but still hasn’t arrived to Judith. Is it a full moon?
Maybe the UPS driver is showing him around? Do they drive on the opposite side of the road down there, maybe he is disoriented by that?
Good news! Judith just messaged me that Andy arrived “today” in NZ, Monday, April 16. 🙂
YAY!!!
I hope the bad news part was just you, taking poetic license.
Congrats on ruling this blogosphere this week!
Poetic license….I just caught that. Guess I am on fire with the poetry this week. If only I could make a living writing this nonsense. What was I thinking taking this full time gig, anyway?
The bad news isn’t HORRIBLE bad news, and part of it is really FUNNY bad news, I was just too tired last night to write any more and too lazy to change the title. So I am hoping to get a post cranked out for tomorrow. Please don’t worry your pretty little chain-saw-wielding self about me…(I could probably feel a lot better with one of those peanut butter cup trees) Probably. Maybe. Really. Most definitely. And one of those sundaes from over at Lenore’s.
hahahah… great post… love the ending… got me to laugh pretty hard 🙂
Enjoy the weekend.
I will – hope you do, too. Thanks for stopping by.
Clever girl… but I wonder about your health. Now I’m worried. Congrats on being the bell of the blogging ball, though! All over the place!
Oh, it will be all right…I’m working on the post right now…You will find it humorous (as opposed to humerus)…
I second Peg. You appear to have taken over the intarwebz this week, in a reign I’m happy to salute!
Also, I love your poem, your thoughts on me, and your sharing your thanks over at TMiYC. It is a pleasure hosting the current ruler of the intarwebz. ♥
I guess I did “get around” this week, didn’t I? No wonder I am so tired – ruling the blogosphere is exhausting work…
MMMMM Peanut Butter cups! I was blinded by the logo…..Thanks again for the great poems you posted on my site. It is fun to see someone who is so good at this. You make everyone’s day with your poetry!
Hope you got a good night’s sleep to take on your other “news”.
You are so welcome…I’ve got the post with the rest of the story scheduled for tomorrow morning. I need some solid sleep tonight.
–Love your poem ❤ You are Super. Xxx
I love you – your heart-wrenching, punch-to-the-gut posts remind me all the time that our world can be turned upside down in a nano-second and to celebrate each moment. Glad you liked it.
