Writing Exercise

scooters, vacation, fall.

Those are the words blogger cites as examples for labels. Why not bicycles, work, winter? Or gum, crap, swindle? Why have labels at all?

Anyway I tried to write 51 word(or less) snippets for each of the labels to keep the blog alive. And the limerick on Fall is dedicated to Maya's little monkey doll :)

scooters...

I have always hated scooters. The sound they made when kick-started was like a demon coughing on his meal. As a kid you either stood in front of the driver trying not to step on his toes or sat uncomfortably between the two seats. The Butt of All Pain – yours.

Vacation…

What is not to love about vacations? Whether they are short breaks from school/college or the long one for all eternity, we always tend to look forward to them. Or do we? Are vacations an escapist’s Utopian ideal? If Death is indeed a vacation, how and when does one return?

Fall…

I am an orange loving monkey

And they call me an Orange Fronkey

I dance on a rolling ball

Never ever do I fall

And I’m in love with your pet donkey.

We miss you...

Tom Brady. We really do.

Sigh.

You know you're a NEW MOM when

• you still waddle to the bathroom...8 months AFTER giving birth :)
• the 7 AM grocery shopping becomes a blessing!
• The Mr's offer to load the dishwasher once a week makes him a Superhero in your eyes.
• less baby food and more frizz makes it a 'good hair day'.
• a spontanoeous night about town with your girlfriends needs a 2 week notice.
• a date night is just an excuse to slouch on the couch and snooze before you hit 'Play' button.
• 'Baby is sleeping' replaces 'I love you' as the most romantic 3 words you ever want to hear!
