Gettin' ready for the 4th

Hey! Hey! Hey! It's that time of year again! The 4th of July! This year is supposed to be better than ever. That's what the city tells us every year, but it's always true. That's because each year more money is put into the 4th fund, so each year the fireworks display gets better and better! (I wonder if we'll make the Letterman List again...) If you're not from around here, we all get together on City Beach on Big Detroit Lake...(yes, Desiree...lakes have beaches too...) and I'm not just talking about the people from DL...nope, we get everyone from the surrounding communities, and even other states! The people of Fargo, Grand Forks, and Crookston always come. This year, aside from the local festivities, my family and I are going over to Fargo for a Baseball game before the fireworks. I hope we get to the beach early enough to get "our spot" in front of the Lakeside...it can get pretty crowded pretty early. Hope your 4th will be as cool as mine! If it isn't and you know this ahead of time...come hang with me!

Will I ever make it...?

I'm really begining to wonder if I will ever make it to the Holy Rosary Annual Parish Festival. I try to make it every year, but it seems that every year I'm somewhere else! One year I was in Germany, one year I was in Tennessee, one year I was in Missouri, and this year I'll be at my grandparent's house...5 hours away! I think I might've been there the first year that I lived in DL...but I honestly can't remember! So, I appologize to my local Catholic Community for not being there...again. Sorry.

Hahaha...ummmm....I'll clean it up

So, there I was, going through my closet....trying on evrything I own finding outfits for my senior pictures...which are tomorrow. When I was done, I realized that there was nothing left in my closet, but instead, it was all on my floor, my bed, my chair, my desk, my other chair, and even my lamp...I got some 'splainin' to do.

SCAM

Have you ever heard the old adage "killing two birds with one stone?" Well, I put it to work yesterday. It was a hot day, and the girls that I nanny for wanted to have a water fight. I needed to wash my car...so we had a water fight while we washed my car...hehehehehe. It was fun.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

This is too cool! I'm gonna be published! My poetry is being published! Are you sensing my excitement??????

My Thing

Every great writer has "their thing". For Edgar Alan Poe, it was his stanzas with a unique style of rhythm and rhyming. For T.S. Elliot, it was his opaque discriptions of things. The infamous Conan Doyle gave his characters power by the use of logic. Some writers simply have a phrase that they are known for. Shakepeare had several; "All's well that ends well," or "Parting is such sweet sorrow". The more recent Lemmony Snicket uses the phrase "With all due respect," in all his works. Since I am all of a poet, a playwrite, and a story teller, I thought it impossible to discover "my thing" when my literary prose is so diverse. But I too have discovered "my thing"...by accident really. And it happened right here on my blog. I have found my phrase, one which I use quite often. I realized right away, of course, that it would work for whatever I was writing or in the thought thereof. And as I can see I have used up your time, I will end this.

Growing Up

Wow....it's been one year since I started this blog. I can't believe how fast they grow...starting from just one post....then growing into archives with comments and history. This blog has made it this far...how far will it go?
