| Blog Harbor - Blog Challenge Week 1 Prompt - Day 3: Okay, time to interject a little fantasy into this. If you could put yourself into any TV show as an active character, which show would it be and tell us about the character you'd play. Would you prefer to be yourself or someone much more exciting? I like to think I am realistic even when it comes to placing myself into fantastical scenario. As much as I would love to inject myself as some action-packed, swashbuckling character in an action or thriller series like Westworld or CSI, I think I'm much more suited to one of those minor but important roles. I'm reluctantly less like the brave and brash Eva Green from Penny Dreadful than I'm comfortable admitting. I think I'd be that knowledgeable but reclusive librarian who helps discover the meaning behind secret messages or the nerdy lab tech who discovers the one clue that solves the entire case for the sexy, driven detectives. I might not get a lot of screen time but my interjection is essential and I get to have my "moment". Yeah, that seems more like me - less flash and sizzle but more substance. Of course, I'd have to have great hair though...a girl still has to have a little vanity after all. "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" DAY 1569 April 4, 2018 Pick 3 random items that all have something in common and write a creative piece about that 'something'. Shopkins, Slime and Legos...all the odious little things that occupy the free time of my eight year old daughter. Seemingly random and unrelated, these three things have much in common. For example, they are adept at hiding. They have the ability to lie undetected in the corners of the room, at the base of the stairs or in the folds of the carpet, until they are discovered by the soles of my bare feet. Apparently they all like to travel, not content to stay within the confines of their containers. I frequently find them strewn about the house or, even more boldly, under the seats and floor mats of my car. Perhaps most insidiously, they all share some bond with my daughter who can identify them all if not by name, but by the virtue of her ownership. Even the Slime has been lovingly labeled. The result of this unfortunate truth is that she will know if one or more has gone missing, a victim of the vacuum or in a fit of rage cleaning. These odious little things mock and torment me, preserved at least for the time being by the adoration of a child. My only hope in the war against their vapid, plastic, evil empire is that children are fickle creatures. One day, they too will replaced by some new interest and then...armed with my trash can and valiant vacuum, I will come for them! "Blogging Circle of Friends " DAY 1966: April 4, 2018. Title Prompt : April in [insert the name of the city your live in or the one you were born in]. April in Norwich paints our wide streets with the white, billowing blooms of cherry blossoms. The local high school is less than a quarter mile from our old colonial and it is a sprawling campus covered in lush greenery and rows of cherry trees. Each year in April they explode in the beautiful, heavy blooms for only a few short weeks. Eventually the cherry blossoms are tugged free by the elements and cover the sidewalks and pavement with their scattered remnants. While they are in bloom however, they transform the somewhat urban landscape to something softer and more picturesque. Its not uncommon to see a stray wedding party or couple using the cherry blossoms as a backdrop for photos. Set against the historic homes and buildings, the pink and white bows swaying in the Spring air, make for a lovely setting.  |
