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. |
Reflect on the 30 Day Blogging Competition as a whole. What is something you learned about yourself over the course of the month? What is something you learned about your fellow competitors? Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. Jim Carrey Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/funny I did not learn this new thing on WDC or blogging in the 30-Day-Challenge. I recently learned that some relative thinks I inherited bullheadedness in my genetic make-up. I had to look this up because I don't usually use it in my vocabulary to describe anyone. This is what I found:"very determined to do what you want to do, especially without considering other people's feelings.Synonym: pigheaded, disapproving." reference:https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/bullheaded. So I looked up Pigheaded. This is what I found:"showing unreasonable support for an opinion or plan of action and refusing to change or listen to different opinions" reference is from the same dictionary. . These are startling definitions which describe my refusal to live my life the way others think I should. I keep thinking they will get the message that I am an individual, not necessarily letting other people influence my actions, but, I guess not. Wow! I have two new words to use in my vocabulary bullheaded and pigheaded.    . Now for those fellow competitors. I think at some time in their lives they have been the subject of more than one situation like: false accusation, financial burdens beyond personal control, wishful thinking about how to get off the planet, being thrown down the wrong rabbit hole, rabid musical lyrics, and a few other ideas. This makes us all happy for good friends, peace loving researchers, and hopeful that the squirrel in the bird feeder won't eat all the bird seed. As for all you bullheaded pigheaded writers. Use your imagination, write-on! Anyone who is offended by this Blog. Please email me, I will print a retraction that you probably won't be happy with it. My Afghan will be finished today. I'm working on the last row. Have a great day. It's cold today with snow and ice, My sweet roll needed extra spice, Dumped extra bird seed in the feeder, Now, I'm going to be a reader. ![Merit Badge in Congratulations
