Bad Haiku Friday

Sneezes by the fire
Snot bubbles drip from your nose
Forget Yuletide songs

White mint gelato
Might as well apply to hips
Heaven in a spoon

Bad Haiku Friday

Put a lock and key
Round the state of Tennessee...
No more friends can leave.

Yep. My good friend Laura and her baby girl Israel are headed out next week indefinitely. She hopes to be back early next year, but nothing is for sure yet...

I'm a little over this friends moving away thing.

Bad Haiku Friday

5K tomorrow

We're walking 3.1 miles
A goal completed!

Ok, so the goal was to RUN a 5K within a year, and I will plan to do that next time...but since I'm going with a group that plans to walk it I can't very well run out ahead of them, right? Hopefully I'll remember to take pics!

You all should totally visit Laura and join in on writing your own haiku!

Bad Sad Haiku Friday

My heart is sad now
I have cried a lot of tears
Hate saying goodbye

It will be good to
Watch Grey's and then some chick flicks
Let myself chill out.

(I HATE saying goodbye. Have I mentioned that yet? When I'm saying it to the couple that has essentially filled the role of parents where my flesh and blood were not able to...yeah. It sucks.)

*this blog will return to it's normal cheery and sarcastic schedule shortly. please excuse the crying mess. don't slip on the tears on your way out...*

Bad Haiku Friday

My Friday will be
told in the form of haiku.
So read on below:

My fingers are cold
My whole body is freezing
Fall? Where did you go?

Going to the pub
Gonna hear some Irish songs
Drink a little too ;-)

(the drink should help me
warm my insides a little
or maybe...a kiss :-)

Bad Haiku Friday

Going to a maze!
(made of corn). Nope, not kidding
It's a cornfield maze.

I wish I were kidding.
But that's what we're doing tomorrow.

The kids love it.

When I was their age I could have done it for free right next to my house!

Don't believe me? Here's the website: http://www.rippavilla.org/cornmaze.asp

A few highlights from their website--with original bolding and punctuation intact:


The maze will not be haunted at any time.
(can they guarantee that? Do they have an agreement with the ghosties?)
NO SMOKING!!! CORN IS FLAMMABLE!!
(you don't say!)
Do not pick, pull, throw or damage the corn. You may eat the corn for survival purposes only !!
(this, to our middle schoolers, means that they haven't seen chocolate in 10 minutes. expect a few less ears of corn when we leave)
If you have small children, are pregnant, claustrophobic, have a medical condition, or get easily frustrated we advise against entering the maze.
(If you have lack of common sense, we advise obtaining some)
Out of common courtesy, please refrain from using cell phones in the maze, unless absolutely necessary.
(what is this? a movie?! I think 100 middle schoolers and not enough adults constitutes "absolutely necessary", thankyouverymuch)

I love the teenagers...
I love the teenagers...
I love the teenagers...
I LOVE THE TEENAGERS!
(this should be proof)

Bad Haiku Friday

Going to Clarksville
Oktoberfest is tonight
Hope there's no traffic!

(Last time we went to Clarksville for funsies in October...we got stuck on the interstate for HOURS because of a hazardous waste spill...oy! Here's hoping that history does NOT repeat itself!)

Bad Haiku Friday

You come once a year
With only 5 grams of fat...
I love you so much

Bad Haiku Friday

Oh, Nashville drivers:
Rain is not that big a deal.
Please stop slamming brakes!

(join Laura and make your own bad haiku! I'm loving this meme :0)

Playing Along

With Bad Haiku Friday!
Sponsored by Laura...go here to join the pitiful haiku parade!

Pajamas all day
Bad TV abounding here
I've sunk to new lows

***************************

The cat is worried
She thinks I've found a new source
Of income...at night

(overnight babysitting...but she doesn't know that!)

****************************

I think I'll go out
And work on the gardening
Try to save the plants
