Pet Peeves

We all have things that drive us bonkers at times. What are some of your "pet peeves" and why? Be sure to "guard your mouth" (watch what you say) so that you do not offend anyone. In other words, do not talk about anyone who may annoy you. This is a chance to talk about the things that annoy you.

Here are some examples of my "pet peeves":

I saw this amazing pair of shoes sitting next to my grungy sneakers and by chance, they just happened to be the perfect size. I decided to try them on. First I slipped on the left shoe and laced it up. As soon as the right shoe was on my foot I felt as if I was in a whirlwind and the next thing I knew, I was standing smack-dab in the middle of...................

Comfort

As the weather becomes cooler and the air is crisp, I enjoy the cozy, comfortable things in life. I start making more soups, wearing my favorite worn-in sweatshirts, and snuggling in under my down comforter at home. All of these things make me feel warm and comfortable. In your entry this week, talk about and describe the things that make you feel comfortable. Maybe there is a certain room in your house or a certain place that makes you feel comfortable. Perhaps you have a stuffed animal from your childhood that used to (or still does) comfort you. It could even be a person with whom you feel very safe and comfortable. No matter what or who it is, describe what it is that makes you feel safe and comfortable.

Mad Scientist

Tonight is the Mad Science event at school and I am sure there will be some neat experiments to see as well Science to be learned. Pretend that you are a Mad Scientist who has just created a new potion that will have magical or crazy results if used. Tell about your magic potion and what ills it can cure or what amazing things it can do. Don't forget to use at least 100 words in your answer! Brew-ha-ha-ha away......

Vacation Mania

I love to travel and I find that most people do as well. I've had some far reaching trips (China, Australia, Fiji, and Mexico) as well as some nearby trips (Minnesota, Chicago, camping). I've enjoyed a crazy road trip out west, adventure filled trips (whitewater rafting), and family vacations where things just kept going wrong (flat tires, sunburn, getting sick on the airplane). No matter where I travel and who I travel with, I have a great time and lots of memories to share! In your blog this week, tell about your most memorable vacation or trip ever.
