That worries me. I mean, it really really worries me.
I have so much going on and yet the words aren't there to tell you about it.
Maybe I am using them all up on NaNoWriMo? According to my word count, you can't tell it tho
Maybe I have used them up over lunches with old friends and silly fortune cookies:
"In the near future, you will discover how fortunate you are.'
As we go around the table and read them aloud, we are held to the rules of the game to add the words "in bed" to our fortunes. They cause so much laughter, other patrons turn and stare and at least one from our table makes a hasty retreat for the ladies room. Encouraged by our shennigans, our waiter brings us another round of cookies "on the house" and the riot starts all over again. Patrons from other tables lean in and join the fun and soon there is a run on fortune cookies and half the restaurant is wheezing and redfaced. Who knew a group of middle aged women could cause such a riot in a small Chinese restaurant?
Yes, maybe I used them all there.
Maybe I think all the good words are used up. Does that happen? Sometimes when I read your blog or your emails, I think you got all the good words and I was too late ...yet again. Is that possible?
Maybe, I think most of all; I am just tired. There is a novel to write, a baby to be born, a granddog to sit, hospitals to visit and chickens to be fed.
Those thoughts weary me, but I am holding steadfast to my fortune:
"In the near future, you will discover how fortunate you are."
For goodness sakes, I accidently sent you the wrong comment. I meant, hurry back!
I miss your stories, but I know you'll be back when the words come. Blessings! :)
You'll be back....you're just spreading your energy around right now!
All right Terminator...
You always get the good words. And if you don't believe me, visit my blog. And for goodness sakes leave a comment!
I will miss reading about your shenanigans, but rest assured that I will be here when you get back. In the meantime, I have other methods of harassing you. You can't get rid of me that easily!!!
I don't know that you need to come 'back'. I don't think you ever left! Just this simple, to the point, it is what it is post is quite good. It leaves me to wonder though, if the famous writers who churn out book after book enjoy their writing, or does it feel like work? Get some rest! Peace
Welll...THESE words were pretty good! : )
@guestbrief - aww thank you. the stories are still there ...they just haven't found a way out yet.
@beautifulwolf - that is very true! thanks for the words of encouragement
@christianchemist - awwwww-you know I could never leave you and bella. you both entertain me so much, I couldn't manage without either of you
@shellisland - I have wondered that too...maybe one day I'll even find out and report back
thanks for the words of encouragement-it means a lot. (((hugs)))
I like reading what you write. You sort of feel like an Aunt I've never met, ya know?
Of course you will. And there is something to be said for all the other things. Gah, and Nano can really exhaust a girl of her words.
@joyouswind - thank you. but please tell me which side of the family? this is important ....
@MooncatBlue - thanks for the encouragement madame. and it really does.
@k8tthelate - Oh no! Pressure! Most of the time you remind me of my Aunt Teri a little bit, my mom's sister. But sometimes *coughchickencoopcough* you remind me of my dad's mom, so you could be like the sister he never had.
This was a very good post! We play that game too with the fortune cookies. We have a stash just like saintvi - must be a midwest thing... If you need some good words I could loan you some? I like mussitate and chary....
@murisopsis - thank you-I may take you up on that! mussitate? chary?
we all need a rest now and then. Please don't disappear all the way, though!!!!!
I'm in the same place. I just have lost my will to blog. I do miss your stories, though. You have a wonderful voice -- funny, self-defacing, sharp, observational. With a loving heart. Come back when you can.

You will find them~ trust me I do not have them. I have about 12 words~ I just shake them up in the Boggle cup and rearrange them.
You seem to have found plenty of good words here.
I love the fortune cookie game. I've been saving my fortunes for another post one of these days.
@WildWomanOfTheWest - maybe I should try that approach! thanks for the rec
@saintvi - I can't wait to see it!
Oh geez...I'm so sorry.
