before leaving for the airport, adam dropped the money off at the drop off point. Keeping only enough for his flight. 'I can't go back', He thought. 'They won't harm her now'.
Adam rushed to the counter to check in. Suddenly something made him turn his head.
It was Eve. Eve is going to Hawaii.

Previous the 1st story is -- (A quick synopsis)
a man running down the street , sweat covering his brow, he ran into a building, feeling his heart beating , he went to a corridor where there were less people and calmed down. he felt the envelope in his pocket and he could feel that the money was still there

2nd installment
the phone rang and she felt fearful.
he apologized for calling so late.
she waited to hear the news. He quietly said "I have the money".
Choking up, she said, "Thank God".
"it's ok, I am coming home."he said
"no matter what, I am here for you", she replied.
And he said, "I know".

3rd post
He arrived home later than he expected.
The house is dark.
Where could she be? she knew I was coming.
She said she'd be there no matter what.
The door was open a crack. she'd never leave the door open.
Something is wrong.
He listened for sounds but only heard the deafening sound of silence.

4th post
As Adam entered, he flicked the familiar light switch to on.
He dropped his keys on the table and cautiously entered further in to the house.
His gut told him what happened as did the note hanging on the bedroom door.
The note read, "return the money if you ever want to see her again."

5th post
Adam knew what he should do. The problem is he also knew what he really wanted to do.
Life is so hard. 'Why can I Never catch a break', Adam wondered? I have 800,000 dollars in my pocket. I could go anywhere. I could do anything.
Adam picked up the phone and dialed the number.

6th post
Adam listened to the ringing...thinking maybe he should change his mind.
The voice on the other line answered "United Airlines, can I help you?"
Still questioning his choice, he nearly hung up the phone.
"Can you tell me when the next flight to Stockholm is? I need a one way ticket for Adam Smith."

Free association is described as a "psychonanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self.

That's an admirable goal, but for the purposes of this excercise, we're just hoping to have a little fun with the technique. Each week I'll post ten words to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind.

"Rules are, there are no rules." There are no right or wrong answers. Don't limit yourself to one word responses; just say everything that pops into your head. AND you don't have to have your words up on Sunday. Take all week if you want! Read the FAQ for more information.

1. Your mate or spouse or the person you have known on a personal level for quite a while, comes to you and suggests that things need to be spiced up and suggests a threesome. what is your reaction?

Well.. first of all...my other half would know better than to ever even consider asking me....LOL But if he was that stupid....it wouldn't be pretty. :-)

2. you are doing the shopping at the grocery store and there is one bad habit you wish your mate would give up and it's on your list to buy. Do you conveniently forget the item or go ahead and feed their habit?

Image via Wikipedia

My other half used to chew....he knew how much I hated it...so he'd never have asked me in the first place. BUT if he had of...I would have conveniently forgotten the item...whoops...oh shoot..I forgot...

3. Your spouse/mate/date is driving and you are feeling seriously scared about the speed the they are traveling. You have already complained twice about their driving skills. Do you demand they slow down? or bite your lip? Will they call you a backseat driver and will an argument more than likely breakout?

Unfortunately this little scenario has happened a few times...yes he'd say I was a backseat driver and yes we'd have a little tiff over it and then I'd zip it!

4. Your neighbors put their dogs out at 630 AM everyday and they bark non stop and wake you up. How do you handle the problem?

5. Tell us about something that you can do that more than likely not a lot of other people can do.

well I can stick my tongue out and curl it up and touch my nose. I don't think this will come in handy for anything...but hey..

NONE..it's sad really...I made a move and left some things at my moms and when I returned..all my things had been adopted by my sisters kids.

2.Your walking down the street toward a very familiar face. As you get closer you realize you do not remember this persons name at all. Do you speak with the chance that they'll want to stop and chat or do you pretend that you don't see the person?
I hate to say it...but I'd probably look the other way.....but then it depends on my mood too. But I hate not remembering someones name!!!! If I ever ignore you...you'll know it's because I can't remember your name...:-) eh eh...on the other hand I could see me having a real brave day and just saying "Gawd, I am sorry but your name has totally slipped my mind" (as well as everything else has) . Hopefully, they would understand...LOL

3. Are you the Rock or the sponge of your household?
I should really realize how hard some of these questions are going to be before I post them LOL
I think I am both! But, really Mike is my rock.....so that makes me his..........OK I am not a total sponge......really....ok I am .

4. you have gone over to a friends for dinner. You look down at your plate and notice a great big ole hair hanging out from inside your sandwich. What do you do. ?
Well...I would literally be gagging, as I have the weakest stomach in the world. But I think...actually I know, that I would hand the plate to my friend and tell her what I found. If she's a friend...she may be horrified but sh'd understand and be apologetic and suggest we go out to eat. Which I am sure ..where I'll find even worse in my food :-(

5. If you HAD to name one....who would you say is your role model?

I wish I could say I had this fabulous role model and I practiced modeling myself after them forever which helped mold me into the wonderful human being that I am.....BUT, as many role models that I wanted to have over the years, I don't think I really stuck with one. I think it's good to have someone in mind that we sort of mold ourselves after. Right now I'd have to say I respect reality...and that would be what I think Dr Phil represents...so it's gotta be him, I guess.

6. Have you raised children? if so do you think your parenting skills were top notch or could have used a little help from Dr Phil?
Yes I had 2 kids. And I was so lucky...no drug problems, no law problems.
My Daughter has her Masters degree and My son has his bachelors. Not to say they don't have their problems...but it could have been so much worse! But, I would still say that YES, I could have used a little help From Dr Phil!

7. would your -(Past or present)- mate/spouse, significant other/whatever -say that living with you has been like a gentle breeze or more like a hurricane?
I think he'd say a gentle breeze most of the time.with an occassional small taste of the hurricane season :-)

8. When you shop at the grocery store, do you always shop exactly by a list or just go helter skelter and hope that you get home with most of what you need?
It Varies...I try hard to use a list and stay with it. But, some days I just get in a mood and go shoppin. I would describe it as helter skelter for sure. Usually I have about half of what I need to make a recipe and it really screws up my menu planning.

Heterochromia, A Haunted Earth and The Dungeon
Welcome to the July 16th version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by
Kimber, the number 15 and the color of windows.

1. Do you know anyone with heterochromia? Does it freak you out or do you think it's interesting?
Well I have it so you want to make an issue of it?? personally I think it's a bit cruel to bring it to everyone's attention. thanks. LOL Gotcha...no I do not have it,,,But I have known two people who have had one gry eye and one brown eye.

2. Should a 5th face be added to Mount Rushmore? If so, who?
why not.Let's add Paul McCartney.then again...why?

3. If you could live on any planet other than earth, which one would you choose and why?
well do I look like a frickin astronomer??
I don't know which ones can sustain life....I'd rather go to St Maartan!

4. We're going to spend the night at a reportedly haunted location, are you going with us?
Nope..waste of my valuable time I'd rather go to St Maartan :-)
If so, which reportedly haunted place are we going?
I don't keep track of that kind of stuff......I'd rather go to st maartan :-)

5. Did you play The Queen's Meme this week? If so, was it fair of The Queen to put Berleen in the dungeon by association with Kimber? (We all know Kimber deserved it, but Berleen?!) I was so sick this week I don't even know what went on.

6. What color is the towel(s) hanging in your bathroom?
Sage green in one....blue in one and tan in the 3rd one..who the hell cares really?

7. Tell us something funny that happened to you recently.
Obviously I don't have a lot of funny stuff goin on, because I can't think of anything! But I have been in bed sick since last friday .....my memory is a little hazy.

8. We just bought you a cow. Do you kill it & grill it, feed it & milk it, or sell it?

Are you out of your mind....

10. When you visit the zoo do you wonder which animal tastes better with a bit of butter & spices?
uh I am afraid that'd be the last thing on my mind.

11. Dog ate your homework/work papers. Does it crap out Shakespeare, quantum physics, or just crap?
It would have been barfed it up ..she has a very sensitive stomache.

12. We are taking you to a broadway show, what are we going to see?
I'd love to see beauty and the beast again...Now that's an animal I like.

13. Gunshots in your neighborhood. Pop, pop, pop. Do you go out to take a look, or hide?
go get our gun, Hide and call the cops. not necessarily in that order...I probably get one of my chefs knives out too.

flash friday 55 the saga

2009-07-09T21:53:00.000-07:00

when I began with the flash friday a few weeks ago...I did a Story and I kind of wanted to make a continuing story each week but changed my mind the next week and wrote about a tornado. LOL the reason I am explaining this is that I somehow deleted that first post. I can't find it anywhere. ..so I could only recollect the basic story but I can't tell you verbatim. Sorry , but the jest of the 1st story is -- (A quick synopsis)
a man running down the street , sweat covering his brow, he ran into a building, feeling his heart beating , he went to a corridor where there were less people and calmed down. he felt the envelope in his pocket and he could feel that the money was still there.

since I decided after the tornado post , that I did want to continue the story from my 1st post, you all might have to look back to remember what the previous posts were. It was suggested to me, by Hootin Annie that I might copy and paste the previous posts so you can keep up with the whole story.
If that is OK to do that...then each week I will just put the past stories at the top in small lettering. And my newest post at the bottom. BY the way... I have now named my characters Adam and yes you guessed it...EVE..LOL

so here is the 2nd installment:from 2 weeks ago
the phone rang and she felt fearful.
he apologized for calling so late.
she waited to hear the news. He quietly said "I have the money".
Choking up, she said, "Thank God".
"it's ok, I am coming home."he said
"no matter what, I am here for you", she replied.
And he said, "I know".

this is the 3rd post
He arrived home later than he expected.
The house is dark.
Where could she be? she knew I was coming.
She said she'd be there no matter what.
The door was open a crack. she'd never leave the door open.
Something is wrong.
He listened for sounds but only heard the deafening sound of silence.

Todays continuation:
4th post

As Adam entered, he flicked the familiar light switch to on.
He dropped his keys on the table and cautiously entered further in to the house.
His gut told him what happened as did the note hanging on the bedroom door.
The note read, "return the money if you ever want to see her again."

- HoT Week #98 -
The theme/prompt for THIS week, July 7, is:
HEADS - "Spin"

Considering what's going on right now this seemed appropriate.
What do we hear more about on the news right now, than Michael Jackson's death and music.
When MJ is mentioned, you think of his music and his dancing..
Would you believe there is a video that teaches you to dance like MJ? Yes, the internet is a plethora of info on any subject...even how to spin like Michael Jackson.
I have to say this guy is pretty good. If your in the mood, take your shoes off and turn up this music....the lesson on how to do the robot and do the spinning moves like Michael Jackson begins here....

I am hoping this video will work.....the actual video that I prepared this post for...couldn't be embed...it was actually called HOW TO SPIN like MJ

Sunday Stealing: I've come to realize meme

2009-07-04T18:07:00.000-07:00

The "I've Come to Realize" Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!

Today we ripped this meme off a blog and blogger known as UKOK. She explains that she was tagged by Val on Facebook. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all us thieves!

I am addicted to template change

2009-07-03T18:57:00.000-07:00

Do you ever feel like you are over blogging? Like you just can’t help yourself, but you have to have another blog! And what the hell are you going to talk about on all thse blogs?
I have like 3 or now actually 5…I only use 2. Well now 3...But, I had to get another one started on WordPress to see how it works there and jeese too tough if you want to use a theme that isn't
the ones they offer when setting up your blog!
I feel the urge to change my template about once a month. Maybe, it's a woman thing?

THE 4TH OF JULY

2009-07-03T13:11:00.000-07:00

I hate the fourth of July!
I hate it...for several days before and after the 4th, I have to listen to the pops, booms and bangs. And every year I go through the same thing! OMG...a little while ago I literally came up off my chair from a HUGE BOOM

I don't know that I ever LOVED the 4th, but I do know that every year I hate it a little bit more!

A few years ago my dog got upset from the fireworks and had massive diarrhea.
I had to take her to the vet and get meds to get it to stop.

Maybe I should say a prayer about this year. Because more than likely either I or my dog will end up in the Drs. office.
