July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| Prompt: pathological liars Have you ever met a pathological liar? How do you think a pathological liars talk with other people? And could they have any good friendships that last?   Yes. The one I know will lie about anything to anyone, even friends. They enjoy lying and seem to like fooling people with lies. It is narcissistic behavior. They can get angry if you don't believe them. And seem surprised when someone corrects their lies. Refusing to accept the truth about something they lie about. Pathological liars are also very nice to their victims as long as the victim believes their lies. Prompt about Crafts: This prompt was also marked for May 23. Maybe it was meant for May. 24. I do different kinds of crafts. I'm pretty good at crochet. I used a pattern to make a Stetson (summer 2022) to wear when I'm out on walks with the dogs. I have done some beading for Christmas ornaments. I sew some of my own clothing and made a few dog beds as a specialty item for my dogs. 2022 I made my dogs winter coats. Other dogs I have sewed coats for are already moved on to heaven. Also, I have been a dog groomer for years and know lots of different patterns for different breeds of dogs. When my daughter was young, I made cabbage patch dolls. I could not afford the ones in the stores but was able to find a pattern for them. Years ago, when I was going to church and was in charge of a youth program, I made large arm puppets for a show the youth program put on for the congregation. My whole family was involved in designing and building wooden crosses with leather necklaces for sale in the store where the church camp was located. They were very popular in the area at the time. Most of the time I just see something I want to make before I get involved in any crafty projects. I read more than I craft now. |
| Day 3746: May 24, 2023 Prompt: What is your favorite snack? Why do you like it?  Unfortunately, I'm a snack hungry girl. I like all kinds of snacks. Cookies, especially the ones I make myself because I use less sugar in the recipes. I like peanut butter cookies the best. Or, off the grocery store shelves, fig bars with a piece of cheese. My dad used to eat these, so I learned the habit from him. Many different kinds of nuts. I probably eat a pound of peanuts a month. I guess my favorite is potato chips, served with cottage cheese or dip. I try to curb my intake of these. Not only are they expensive they feed my craving for salt. I did not eat a lot when I was younger. I guess the thing I should never have learned to do is eat more. Now I try to eat less. |
