Guided by prompts from WDC blogging challenges... and of course, life |
HI! I'm Jenn - and I'm all over the place (well, at least my mind is). In this blog, I have attempted to gather my thoughts on things prompted/inspired by WDC blogging challenges from "Journalistic Intentions"  , "The Soundtrack of Your Life" , "Blogging Circle of Friends " , "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" and, well, LIFE.    |
DAY 3229 September 16, 2021 Please use these words in your entry today: fling, sing, wing, outside, dried and divide. Choose another word that rhymes with either the first three or the last three to tell us a story. The year the Spring Fling was held outside, I found a tiny bird trying to hide. The poor thing was soaked to the bone. It had fallen out of the tree and broken its wing by landing on a path of stone. It was so in shock it wouldn't sing. So I dried the bird with my 'kerchief, divided in two so I'd have some left. And I hid the chick in my little purse and took it home so it wouldn't get worse. I patched it up and set it free. That little bird still comes by to visit me. Word Count: 140 |
PROMPT September 16th I know you've done it. I know I have. Tell us about a time you were inappropriately dressed for the occasion. I honestly don't think I ever worried about being "appropriately dressed" for anything other than work. (Oh, and science labs. But lucky for me, my normal style of dress is perfect for being in a science lab.) I am sure there were times when I was inappropriately dressed - There was the time I got dressed after a basketball game in high school in clothes that were a bit too revealing for anything school related, but hey! I was young and wasn't planning on staying to watch the guys play. I had a date. Ah! The shenanigans we pull in our youth! Word Count: 125 |
| Day 3228: September 15, 2021 Prompt: “All great beginnings start in the dark, when the moon greets you to a new day at midnight.” ― Shannon L. Alder Is starting over always starting in the dark? No. Starting over can happen in the light. If you consider recovering addicts, they are starting over in the light in the sense that they already know what the worst thing that can happen is and are aware of the possibility of a backslide. They are "in the light" about what this new chapter in their life could bring and what they are leaving behind. Those people who are beginning new relationships after another has gone sour are not starting off in the dark either. They are aware people can and will hurt them. They might not know what to expect from that particular person, but they know more about themselves. They know more of what they are willing to tolerate and when to stand their ground. And any time you forgive someone and try to continue the relationship, you aren't starting in the dark. I think, sometimes, starting in the dark is preferable to what you might see in the light though. It's hard to set aside the emotions after someone has wronged you. |
| PROMPT September 15th We've all cooked meals at one time or another. What was the most memorable meal you've prepared? Tell us who you prepared it for, and the occasion that caused you to prepare this meal. My family loves venison. When my dad kills deer, some of it is ground into chili meat, and of course, they always share their bounty with me. My husband and I had been married about a year and a half when I decided to cook up a pot of venison chili. Never done it before, but hey, I saw my mom do it so I figured I could give it a go. Into the slow cooker goes the venison chili meat, various spices and flavorings, onion, garlic, jalepenos, and some beer for good measure. (everything's better with beer, right?). Some friends surprised us from out of town so we spent the day with them. When we all came home, the house smelled divine. Our friends decided to stay and eat as well. The wife was a vegetarian and had been for over 10 years so we made up some grilled veggies for her. But her husband was enjoying his chili so much she tried a bite - and loved it! Then she made herself a bowl, and went back for seconds. She eats meat all of the time now. So, my deer chili was such a success it turned a vegetarian into a meat lover. Recently, I had some left over venison roast sitting in the fridge (like I said, my family loves venison). I wanted to use it, rather than being wasteful with good food. So I chopped up the roast and made pasties. This was another first. I have eaten pasties but had never attempted to make them. They were pretty good for my first try. Next time, I will make my crust dough a little lighter though. But my husband loved them. Word Count: 321 |
