Happy Thanksgiving

Though I know it is an American Holiday…I do currently reside in the United States. And I have my whole life. So pardon me for wishing you a happy holiday.

May it be a day of peace for you.

Announcing the Next Volume

So I just got the last one written in Uncanny Valley – release date tbd 2024.

And as usual I had asked here and on Facebook for help with the new volume. Out of the 7 options… each but two got a single vote.

Burning the Candles at both ends got zero votes. Apparently that was not the one this time.

Everything else got a single vote except for Tears of the Broken which got 2. So I am going with this.

My daughter suggested that I may have given too many choices this time. So I will try to limit it the next time.

Pad challenge Day 22

Prompt: Setting

Wild Wednesday

Thanksgiving has always been a large feast of a meal for me.

I spend days ahead cooking.

Sometimes traditions change.

The last couple of years have been bad because I have not been able to do the big meal. So I am doing it again this year. With minor changes.

We have to adapt to changes or they will wipe us away.

One of the Changes for me is the inability to make my favorite dishes. We have several Diabetics at the table so making so many desserts is a bad idea. Since I cannot make it, I wonder what recipes you are making, or cannot make.

This year I cannot make my banana pudding.

Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics-

They call it creeping, I say loving, it’s the only way for me
Filling out papers, signing waivers, but I stay outside his reach
I name your mother and your father and the first pet that you keep
I know your favourite place to dine at when your cheque comes in each week
I know you do your wash on Sundays and you separate your whites
And that your car needs a new tire ’cause last week I laid those spikes
I’ve got a million polaroids with all the dates penned in red ink
I sneak a walkie-talkie in your room to listen to you sleep
You just don’t know it yet, but you love me and I love you the same
One day we’ll have a pretty wedding, and I’ll be your everything
We’ll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part
Oh, you don’t know it yet but baby I’ve already got your heart
Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behind
I’m sure if I sat down and asked you, well, you really wouldn’t mind
You’ve got those eyes that drive me crazy
And I’ve got eyes to watch you sleep
I brought a pack lunch and some coffee
For my stakeout in your tree, outside your house (shh)
Gotta be as quiet as a mouse, or else you’ll call the police
And I’ll get done for somethin’ stupid like disturbance of the peace
And piece by piece, I am collecting all the things you leave behind
And when you don’t, I rummage through your bins to see what I can find
You just don’t know it yet, but you love me and I love you the same
One day we’ll have a pretty wedding, and I’ll be your everything
We’ll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part
Oh, you don’t know it yet but baby I’ve already got your heart
You just don’t know it yet, but you love me and I love you the same
One day we’ll have a pretty wedding, and I’ll be your everything
We’ll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part
Oh, you don’t know it yet but baby I’ve already got your heart


My 2 Cents –

Okay this one is fun…and disturbing…but fun nonetheless.

Pad challenge Day 21

Prompt: Two for Tuesday (Introvert/Extrovert)

I chose to combine the two prompts. I’m so awkward with social situations that I am often seen as an introvert but you get me comfortable and I am extremely extroverted. It really does depend on the situation for me.

Time to pick.

So I am at the 10 poems away mark on Uncanny Valley.

I usually wait until I am closer… but I am doing 2 separate pad challenges… so I think that I should have the next one ready.
