My favorite train lovin' librarian came to visit me on Tuesday (?). He brought me the best gift ever. I was so inspired to compose this haiku...
Lovely tangerines
within each section, a purse
holds nectar of gods.
Thank you.
My mood: peaceful
Pearls of summer sun
one bite can stop time and brings
me back to childhood...
My earliest memory of this "fruit of the gods" is that I was allergic to the sap. I'd have a reaction similar to eating crab. Two of my favorite foods in the world and I would break out in rash after eating them.
It was worth the pain.
This season I have been blessed by a plethora of the succulent spheres of sappy sweetness. Yum.
My mood: exhausted
Marveous; multi-tasking; macaroni & cheese making; mediator;
Open-minded; oven master; overly patient;
Tears of all kinds; tough; tender; teacher;
Hopeful; hair-raising; headstrong; huggable; healer of boo-boo's big and small;
Entertaining; eyes in the back of your head; Energizer bunny;
Radiant; referee; role-model; ready to do whatever needs to be done to make sure your child grows up to be a wonderful person.
One day late, but Happy Mother's Day to all my mommy friends.
My mood: lethargic
discs of cheesy dough,
gives me a tomato and
pepperoni high.
fruit snack: a rainbow,
pearly, gelatinous goo;
sugary sweetness.
a chocolate chip:
food of gods contained in small,
bite-sized perfection.
licky, sticky spoon
covered with peanut butter,
I need some milk please.
blueberry pop tarts,
when will you be done toasting?
your middles I seek.
My mood: exhausted
I rarely read the comic strip section of the paper since the ending of my beloved Bloom County and Peanuts. Someone told me about this a few weeks ago and it really made my day. Oh, Hill, just give up already... please.
Booksale tomorrow. Crap.
a slacker at heart
extra day of work ahead
weekend invaded
My mood: not thrilled, but still looking forward to my condensed weekend
middle of the week

I’m here and I wanted to say
I’m rooting for my favorite Green Bay,
But if Pats should win,
Much to my chagrin;
The librarian, Phil, will hurray.
(Don't know if my punctuationing is correct. I'm sure if it's not, I'll hear about it from some crazy English teacher)
My mood: fishy

Bottle of Advil to cure my migraines: priceless
Rain, rain, go away...
I wish that I could play,
But shop I must today.
Headache we'll keep at bay,
Lets hope I do not stray
and cause confusion and delay.
One can only pray,
Bad weather will not stay
and that my meager pay,
Can cover this buffet!
Alas, I am dismayed
and perhaps a little frayed.
Good luck to you I bade
and now I shall evade.
(channeling Seuss)
My mood: better than yesterday
Sometimes, I think I might be going crazy.
Sometimes, I think I might be the only sane person in the room.
Sometimes, I think too much.
Mostly, I think too little.
Or maybe not at all.
I thought I was the sane one.
But now I know I'm not.
My mood: Ambivalent, or so I'm told
