What's he doing???

When a grown man is
bored
at the grocery store. 

No one ever asked me

For all the times no-one asked me my opinion....

1.

Cantaloupe is gross.

 I know that it adds a pretty color to those summertime fruit salads.

But it is like mustard…

...it ruins everything it touches.

2.

The hardest word to spell in the English language is

 'definitely'.

You don't know how many times

 I will change what I want to say

just so I don't have to write that word.

3.

I think long curly beards are gross.

Especially on women.

4.

Guys who wear their pants hanging

below their butt cheeks

 should just take the pants off

 and walk around in just their boxers.

This way people would think, "Huh…that guy forgot something"

instead of thinking "That guy is

stupid."

5.

I'm a little offended

that the most popular insult

for kids these days starts with

"You're mama."

6.

Crossfit is amazing.

That being said, I think it's just a matter of time

before all cross-fitters blow out their knees doing squats.

Knees aren't made for that kind of abuse.

7.

Marvel needs to make

Black Widow's movie!

 Hello!!

Her story is awesome!!

8.

Kasich needs to get out of the race.

He. Can't. Win!!

9.

 Many people don't realize

that there is a right way to be direct.

Being rude is not that way.

10.

People should ask me

 my opinion

 more often.

Linking up with Mama's Writer's Workshop.
Needs some writing prompts and ideas....she's my go to gal!

Off the hook....

Is having teenagers

a good excuse

for having a messy house?

I sure hope so

because I'm planning on using it

for the next 10 years.

Saturday, Saturday. Where art thou??

We live for that day

at the end of the week.

A "rest from our labors"

is just what we seek.

The count down begins

from the very first day.

We celebrate the "Hump"

when we are half way.

As Saturday nears

my anticipation, it grows

"The things I will do,

the places I will go."

Sleepin-in tops the list

so does laundry and chores,

The kids will be happy

and spend hours outdoors!

Well, if wishes were fishes

we'd all have a fry.

My day's never like this

I can't figure out why.

 

 

Up with the sun,

I can never sleep in,

Add the mountains of laundry

Sigh...I can't ever win!

 

 

Minecraft and WiiU

Fill my children with glee.

"At least we aren't fighting."

Ugh!! I have to agree.

 

 

Saturday, meh,

Overrated for sure.

Give me my Sunday

and I'll come back for more.

A Book: A Dragon's Guide to the Car and Feeding of Humans

"A Dragon's Guide to the Car and Feeding of Humans"
           by Laurence Yep, Joanne Ryder

Goodreads Summary:

"Crusty dragon Miss Drake has a new pet human, precocious Winnie. Oddly enough, Winnie seems to think Miss Drake is her pet—a ridiculous notion! 

Unknown to most of its inhabitants, the City by the Bay is home to many mysterious and fantastic creatures, hidden beneath the parks, among the clouds, and even in plain sight. And Winnie wants to draw every new creature she encounters: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But Winnie’s sketchbook is not what it seems. Somehow, her sketchlings have been set loose on the city streets! It will take Winnie and Miss Drake’s combined efforts to put an end to the mayhem . . . before it’s too late."

My Review:
I love reading books that my younger kids would like. This is one of those books. It is fun, full of fantasy and adventure and highly entertaining. It's written from the view of the dragon, one who feels she is above being someone's pet. Winnie, her young new owner,  believes the dragon has been willed to her. The book takes us on an adventure that even boys will enjoy. This is a fun, quick read, a book for the whole family!
