and Purposeful Prose
Why am I posting something from Christmas so close to Easter? The answer is simple: I needed something light for my blog, couldn’t come up with anything, so Andrew suggested this draft that never made it onto my blog in a timely manner. December 24, 2019 My husband thinks he's a Duke boy. If you've [...]
I found this in one of my notebooks and thought it was funny. Apparently Andrew and I must have been watching a nature show. This is the first thing I wrote down: "Baboons raising their eyebrows is a sign of aggression." Next were my thoughts on this matter... When I raise my eyebrows it’s a [...]
So I made dinner. This is something I do... usually in the evenings. This seems about the right time. As I'm digging right in Andrew is waiting for his to cool a bit. He looks over at me and says, Wow, my wife is amazing; she has a fireproof mouth. That woman can take a scoop [...]
I'd never even heard the word "mothra" until Andrew uttered it last week. I thought it was the funniest thing. So last week we had the privilege of watching our neighbor's dog, Charlie. Well… most of it was a privilege. I like to feel useful and she's a pretty easy dog to dogsit. She does, [...]
So I was munching away on a carrot as I juggled lime green markers in bed one morning. I went to grab my carrot to take another bite, but it was nowhere to be found. I thought to myself, hmmm… I guess I must have finished it. I was still hungry. Carrots aren't very filling. [...]
It was time to get ice cream and fries again. As we pulled out onto the road I noticed the blue sky and wonderful white clouds. Off in the distance a perfect row of clouds caught my eye. I pointed them out to Andrew. Then as I looked out my passenger side window I said, [...]
This one has been in my drafts too long. It's almost stale. I haven't eaten a nacho chip since! I just about didn't post this today. Then I saw Andrew eating nacho chips. Knowing full well that I haven’t bought any since I wrote this post, I said to him, "Hey where did you get [...]
...we all scream for icecream. And then fries! On the weekend we took a drive to the Dairy Queen... Last night Andrew was teasing me as he grabbed his icecream from the freezer and sat down to enjoy the last of it. He says to me, Here I am still nursing this icecream and then [...]
I considered sparing you this last bit of romance, but then I thought, Hey, why not ?When you're hot you're hot. Well... the tea is always hot anyways. Me: Would you like some tea? Andrew: Yes. My cup is over here. Me: Oh, where's the lid? Andrew: I don't know. It didn't have one. That's [...]
As I came in from my walk today I said to Andrew, "I feel as if I'm about to turn over a new leaf. But I have to be careful to turn it over slowly." He says to me, "Uh huh, or else you'll fall off your lilly pad." That's about right. Then he added, [...]
