Writer's Workshop time

Time to write again!

The Prompts:

1.) What is your life's anthem? You know...that song that is ALWAYS in your head. The one you'd go to sing first if someone told you to sing a song right NOW. What is it and what does it mean to you?

2.) We love telemarketers don't we!?! Describe a memorable experience you had with one.

3.) How much does focusing on weight affect your daily life?

4.) Describe in what ways you expect too much from your significant other. Do they deserve an apology?

5.) List ten things that make you HAPPY.

6.) Share a sleep walking story of your own!!

Well, I love music and my anthem would change by the minute, so not sure about that one.

I'm a bit overweight, so, while it is a thought daily, I don't obsess over it too much.

I probably expect too much from Bill, not gonna go there....lol.

I used to sleepwalk only on full moons...odd, I know.

Not sure if I could adequately come up with things that make me happy.

The one that I wanted to write about...yeah, I answered all the others, sue me... ;-) is the telemarketer story. It's not long or even that interesting, I just thought it was funny.

One day I got a call from a telemarketer. I usually listen for a bit and then, since they tend not to listen when you tell them you aren't interested, I hang up. About 2 seconds later the phone rang again and it was the same guy.....just kept on where he left off. I told him I wasn't interested and hung up. Again, he calls back and says that he thought we got cut off. I told him we didn't get cut off....I hung up on him. He was pretty speechless, not sure why. That couldn't have been uncommon. :-)

That time again

It's Writer's Workshop time again. Visit Mama Kat for the others.

The Prompts:

1.) Who really helped you get over something? Write about that person.(writingfix.com)
2.) Is plastic surgery an option? Without being vulgar, write about the body part still attached to you that you would most like to dis-attach and replace with a better one. (writingfix.com)
3.) Share an interesting email exchange you've had with someone lately.
4.) Have you thought about shutting down your blog? Why haven't you and what would cause you to make that decision final?
5.) Today I will...

This week I think I'll share about #4. I don't have any plan to shut down this blog, but I have others where I came close to it.

Back in 2001 I started my blogging adventure over at Xanga.com. I wrote daily there for probably a year or 2 before anyone in my family found out. I was a SAHM who watched some kids during the day, so I had a bit of time to write. I didn't necessarily hide the fact that I had a blog, I just never told my (ex) husband. I pretty much wrote about the same stuff I do here. SSDD... ;-)

When our marriage continued to started to head south I mentioned things, not a bunch of detail, just thoughts. At some point he found out. Didn't bother me too much. He then hacked into my account, wrote horrible stuff about me and even contacted a few people that I met through Xanga. He would comment on their sites and even email them if I had their addresses. Totally horrifying and embarrassing to me.

Luckily for me, I didn't lose any friends over his asshattedness. I still have that blog, mostly read there now. So, I don't shut them down, I just move on.
