I especially like well written humor, the stuff that makes me laugh out loud.<br /> Your random thought sounds painful to some degree.

At nine last night, I looked at Hubby and gasped "Is it really Tuesday night? I haven't done the Hodgepodge!!" Oh well, next week maybe we won't have an inch of snow and life will be back to normal. Yep, we're Louisiana Strong until it snows. I'm going to apply your quote to myself and reword it like this: "If you wait for inspiration to paint you're not a painter.

Thankfully since my kids grew up in the 80's and 90's I never put the words to popular songs from that period to memory. Psalty the singing songbook is another story. :) You are quick draw magraw paying taxes already!

DH & I slept in since he decided to go into the office after the sun got up for once. We had snow last night and frigid temps (7º) over night making for bad roads in our neighborhood. At least now he can see where to drive. :) I'm like you with you reasoning of why you blog. That definitely applies to me, too. The flu season is horrible. It's rather scary. I think a lot of this could be avoided if people used good hygiene and common sense. People handle surfaces then touch their faces. DUMB! People who are sick get out and share their germs. DUMB! I get some folks can't stay home but they need to exercise good judgement which most do not have today even on a good day. Staying out of tight, crowded quarters is an excellent idea. I had to laugh at #4 "Eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted." I don't know that ever crossed my mind but we often find that we do the direct opposite of our childhood fantasies on this one because we soon realize the consequences of junking out. :) Ooo, sounds like your Tuesday was a painful one! Keep warm and thanks for hosting the mid-week fun, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-28717775284229887812018-01-17T10:02:39.788-05:002018-01-17T10:02:39.788-05:00I love that you know Briteny's song.
