Jessica and I make cardboard pug
I am a missing dingbat. I retreated last night to desserts, and I awakened this morning, with snakes snarling and hissing on my head, a nervous tension, and just disgruntled wormy thoughts that wouldn’t even coalesce with one another. I think that fits under missing dingbat category.
If I had a canary, it would be tempestuous, or lascivious, or frabulous, and mirror the excesses of my personality which I sometimes think goes into spillage too much. I’d like to retreat to the desert, but instead will go for a walk, under the trees in Pasadena.
The reason for all of this. I am in a “I’m Not Bob Challenge”. I’m Not Bob is this wonderful man’s personal blog, (He’s a Writer’s Digest person) and he’s helping us would-be, be, being, and all range of bloggers and writers to meet the challenge of expansion, construction too. Each day the anonymous amongst us arise and blow out our thoughts in Twitter, i.e., “I jmp ovr mts & Valleys, and I wl nt hiss at LinkedIn”, type of thing. Then we hook up FB pages, or simply chat, and sometimes, like today, my hands will click over the keys, which click sounds like Old Puggy’s (God rest his lardy soul) nails on linoleum at Grandma Anna’s place.
I’m becoming an old gal writer, whose voice is 35, and I am like a mountain goat. It’s a saga, this trudging up the mountains of words. Some days are tempestuous, a word in one of my CHPercolator prompts today, and one I’d use more if I were in a multisyllabic mode. Today I feel more Germanic, almost high boots and marching because I’m frustrated by my inabilities or level of knowledge (think ankle level) on the computer.
Today I’ll stick to dingbat, and walk heavy hoofed for hopefully 5 miles, and then my ding will be danged, and tomorrow will be another day.
Sorrygnat, World Citizen, If in this day a soul shall act according to the precepts and the counsels of God, he will serve as a divine physician to mankind, and like the trump of Isráfíl, 1 he will call the dead of this contingent world to life; for the confirmations of the Abhá Realm are never interrupted, and such a virtuous soul hath, to befriend him, the unfailing help of the Company on high. Thus shall a sorry gnat become an eagle in the fulness of his strength, and a feeble sparrow change to a royal falcon in the heights of ancient glory. 
Hi Esther! Thank you so much for your lovely comments at Cracker Jack Poet, you made my day! enjoyed your blog comment “I will not hiss at Linkedin”
“I’m becoming an old gal writer, whose voice is 35, and I am like a mountain goat.” – Surely my favourite sentence of the week! Please keep writing and if there is anywhere that explains in detail how to make a cardboard pug, I’m there!
thank you dahlin; that’s me; cardboard pug christmas gift from friend; i adore pugs, jump out of airplanes to see them; can’t have any; google cardboard pugs; best wishes and hugs
Thank you! that’s me in a nutshell; getting older and funny looking but hilarious on the inside. The cardboard pug; Google it, t’was gift. You go girl!
thank you; your words make me happy! hugs-the cardboard pug was a gift; google cardboard pug I guess; I am a pug devotee sans pug. a tear runs down my face.
From one old gal to another, let me say you look fabulous, darling. I want to age into your graceful 70’s. Regarding your writing, I love the following lines: “Today I feel more Germanic, almost high boots and marching because I’m frustrated by my inabilities or level of knowledge (think ankle level) on the computer.” I had one of those days today!
Thanks; it’s a slug up the hill; but oh what a hill and the view from up above. regards of the best kind!
did I ever reply to this; happy to do so now; I am a bumbler when it comes to intricacies of blogging.
How is the writing life treating you? I am nearing the publication of my first novel. And I have the audacity to have started the next one! LOL.
Treats me relatively well, I have 2 books out; teach writing, not famous, but people like me, I have draft of novel I’m working on; by all means start another one! good luck
Thank you for the wonderful news. You’ve encouraged me!
ahaha, i like this one, ms. esther. how are things, how have you been? i hope you’re percolating better. we’ve had bad flooding early in august and most things have been in disarray. i hope to get my groove back. i mean, i must. hehe. ^^
regards to you and your loved ones… 😉
well i will hope hard along with you; how horrible the flooding; i am good, older, less energy, but very good internally! smile
yeah, that’s bad, rather… but the 2009 flooding caused by typhoon Ondoy was the worst – really nightmarish, like culled from a doomsday movie.. anyway, we hope to handle the aftermath of the recent one better, thanks for the hoping along… ^^ admire your spirit. hope this week will pan out well for us. i smile with you 😉
hugs and love
darling how do I get rid of what? and how? sorry, not a techy as evidenced by this question. Hugs and love.
ms. esther, hello… just go to the post (T.C. Paulinis) . see the comment that has my IP address? click the edit command, a draft version will appear on computer screen. at the upper right portion, there’ll be options, one of which is trash. just click that. then, click the command that says apply or execute or save (so that the change will be reflected. then, go back to the post and see if it’s been erased. you can do it, ma’am. my apologies and thanks. hugs back! 😉
Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but
after looking at a few of the posts I realized it’s new
to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely delighted I came across it and I’ll be
book-marking it and checking back frequently!
I am pleased you like it; best to you, e
don’t know if I replied; am happy you like my blog!
is your site all in German? i’m glad you like my blog; I tried yours; saw lots of German and couldn’t find out where to follow; hugs
Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time making a decision
between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then
most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
I use WordPress, and put my own cover of my second book on it; a friend stretched it out, and I’m just basic wordpress; look through designs! can’t say I know what else to say; happy to answer the questions-on or off topic; best to you.
