Taking a Chance with the Fancy Ants

Fantasy: I have given considerable thought over the years to what I would ask for if I was confronted with a wish-granting genie. I have numerous imperfections, so it’s hard for me to pick JUST three. But after serious contemplation, these are the three wishes I have decided upon:

  1. I wish to be able to sing like Martina McBride
  2. I wish to have a long, beautiful neck
  3. I wish to have incredible wit.

Please and thank you.

Reality: I am a horrible writer. I have a significantly limited vocabulary. I am also not very creative or witty. Reading my work is drab and needlessly boring. It’s quite sad and embarrassing actually!

Therefore by natural contrast I LOVE numbers. I love their consistent nature. I love that you never have to second guess whether or not a 2 is a 2. And I’m still pushing for number communication. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?! It sure would clear up all the miscommunication that is going on! I mean, you wouldn’t have to wonder which witch is which. Or likewise, if someone wished you a “Happy Father’s Day,” you would know exactly what they meant.

Confession: I’m fearful of having my thoughts out here in blog world. I’m terrified of criticism. I’m also scared that my life is too dull to write about. I wish I was witty. That would make it all better.

All that being said…PLEASE BARE WITH ME AS I ATTEMPT TO BLOG!!

Or, I should say...PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS I ATTEMPT TO BLOG!! (That's better, eh!?)

I'm glad you are using words and not numbers on your blog or I would have to quit reading. And I'm glad they are simple words bc my vocab is very limited as well.
