Geez!! I’ve been working on this website for the past few days trying to get things at least presentable for the public world.   This is what I’ve come up with and it’s going to stay this way for quite a while.   I mean it, too.  I really mean it.   What day is today?  July 25, a Saturday.  I make this little note to myself just as a checks and balance.   Hahaha.   I like it. I need these things.  So there.  I have spoken.

This sandwich was my lunch, but I have eaten it beforehand. However, it was healthy, multi-grain bread with deli turkey, freshly cut , and paired with fresh, sliced American cheese from the deli.  Along with a lovely tomato and freshly washed (not plastic bag) piece of leaf lettuce and sliced onions. All sandwiched between the multi-grain bread prepared with Miracle Whip and dollops of mustard for flair. Yummy.

But now it’s gone, and I’m left searching for more. So here’s a tip. Don’t eat your sandwich before lunch for brunch because then you’ll be left with nothing else to munchety munch.

I put some soft curls in my hair today. They’re laying over my shoulders like glistening silk.

To all.

The snow has fallen
A White Christmas is here
Family love surrounds me
From afar and near.

This year’s soon to be over
Its memories flood back
From January to now
An emotional attack.

An Oklahoma start
With my grandmother dear
Although things looked bleak
My calling was still there.

Three months passed by
A huge change began
To Texas I moved
Back to work for “The Man.”

This “Patentland” challenge
Was something to face
I can either sink or swim
But succeed with such simple Grace.

Because there’s a new position open
To transfer back to Detroit family
Leaving the warmth of the South
I gladly accept the opportunity.

So I’ve finished this trip
Through the cockles of my brain
And posted them here
To share on Christmas Day!

Sometimes when you’re feeling blue, you can look out the window and get inspired.
An acquaintance of mine did so just today. He looked out the window and wrote:

“Birds are free. As free as they want to be.
The wind under their wings, they fly over the sea.
They fly over the land as far as the eye can see.
Oh, but to be a bird. Oh, but to be free.”

Today I share with you a new word I’ve learned today. Obstreperous. It means to be noisy and difficult to control. Also, a synonym of unruly, unmanageable, disorderly, undisciplined, uncontrollable, rowdy, disruptive, truculent, difficult, rebellious, mutinous, riotous, out of control, wild, turbulent, uproarious, boisterous. You get the idea.

To be used in a sentence: “The plaintiffs are being obstreperous.”

So, when someone calls you out as being a little “fussy”, just say, “Hey, if they weren’t being so obstreperous, I wouldn’t be so fussy.” Then promptly hold your head up high, do a pirouette and politely sashay away.
