This will be short & sweet~
Scary things are happening in our world right now, a lot of them bad. I'm not sure there is a direct link to my experience, or if it is truly blog worthy (wait--since when have I written "worthy" blogs?) but--
I had to write this down to believe it…I got an appointment at the eye doctor for Wednesday. As in TOMORROW. Not a cancellation—I had my choice of times!! Has Hell frozen over???

Son of FRANKENBLOG
I liked my monster so much, I had to do another. You know what they say about sequels...
Anyway. Like the first creation, I have scavenged bits and pieces from older blogs and put them together in no particular order. The continuity actually surprised me.
The portrait is Clytie, a water nymph who was in love with Apollo. When he rejected her, she sat in one spot watching the sun (Apollo) go across the sky until she turned into a sunflower.
Don’t get me wrong--I am not totally devoid of any good eating habits. But who has ever said their comfort food was a tossed salad? Or grapefruit?
The small girl smiles, one eyelid flickers
She whips a pistol from her knickers
She aims it at the creature’s head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead
4) I HATE Ferris wheels.
Lunch lady at a junior high school…I charged kids a dime to see my tattoo.
Our whole family played up the Santa thing, but I didn’t believe that anymore than I did a “heavenly father” who (coincidentally) was also pictured as a kindly old man with a white beard.
First of all, I come by this honestly. As far back as I can remember, my mother talked about Elizabeth Taylor’s eyes.
Growing up in a medium size town--as opposed to a “big city”--I didn’t think I’d ever have much contact with crime, let alone murder victims.
15) I took a speed-reading course, and got up to 361 words a minute.
