Writers Workshop

The Prompts:
1.) Tell us about a lie you told that you later regretted.
2.) Choose a task you'd like someone to complete and write a poem asking them to do it.
3.) Describe a talent you have.
4.) Write a list of ten things on your mind this week.


So, I'm doing this for the first time and already I'm a day late. I am choosing #3. Let me tell you about my talent.

My husband thinks it the grossest thing. I think it is hysterical. For what ever reason I am able to move my toes any way I want. Most people can only move all their toes at the same time in the same motion. I on the other hand can move almost any single toe alone. Don't ask how I realized I have this talent because don't remember. But since I was little I have always been able to do this. I can make the toe next to my big toe wave @ you. I can pinch just about anything with my toes. Hubby calls them monkey feet. If my hands are occupied I can use my toes and feet to pick things up. I turn lights off and on with them. I pick up the socks that fall when I am trying to run dirty clothes to the laundry room. I can point at you with my big toe. I use them to change the channel or turn the volume on the remote control when I polish my nails and don't want to mess them up. When I lay in the tub I use them to turn the water off. ( I assume alot of people can do this one.) They also come in handy when I'm hanging clothes up and I drop the hangers.

Now I'm starting to realize that my daughter shares the same talent with me. I guess I passed it on to her. She is always spreading her toes. When she sits in her high chair she grabs the bottom of the tray with her big toe and she can do the pointing thing as well. I've even seen her grab a hold of her bottle with her feet. What a wierd thing to pass on. I only hope she gets as much use out of it as I do. This talent comes in handy. It's like having four hands.

Until next time.

Six more weeks!!

That stupid little ground hog saw his shadow today, so unfortunately we will have six more weeks of winter. Don't get me wrong, I love the cold weather. The snow day was really fun this year and it made my Peyt's first Christmas even more special. But since Mardi Gras is coming up, I really rather it be a little warmer. It is no fun standing in the freezing cold, catching cheap beads!

Six more weeks of winter puts Peyt's birthday party right at the end of cold season. Which leaves me clueless as to what to do for her birthday. Do I have it at the park outside so the kids can play? Or, Do I have it inside where I will not have enough room for everyone and will have to clean up after. I'll hear any suggestions.

This month is kinda a special one. My great grandmother is turning 92!! Yes, my great grandmother is still alive. Valentine's day is this month. I can't wait to get something cute for Peyt. Mardi Gras is this month. FUN FUN!! and hubby's birthday is this month. I will try to do a little something nice for him this year since I was 9 months pregnant last year for his 30th.

I will try a little harder to blog more this month. I didn't really start the year off too good with only 2 post last month. Maybe I'll try this Writer's Workshop Wednesday thing that some other are doing.
