Whiner Wednesday

For this week's "Whiner Wednesday," I've decided to whine again about having too much to do and too little time to do it in.  Go to work, try to keep up with correspondence, pay attention to family, take photographs, work on blogs, read blogs from people I love, and try to learn something about the stock market so if I ever retire I can keep from having my 401K blown away by another market downturn.  And I keep thinking I should pick up the guitar again although the strings are so old I'd have to restring it and I need another activity like a hole in the head.  Whine whine whine.  

I don't yet have a Mr. Linky link for Whiner Wednesday and, hopefully, it is a one shot deal.  I just like the way we have all started naming days of the week.  Maybe next Wednesday will be Guitar String Wednesday.  Or Wadded Boxers Wednesday.  Or Wasted Wedensday. 

Of course, I'm planning to post this on Wedesday although I'm writing it on Tuesday because today is "Put off until Wednesday" Tuesday.

Microfiction Monday

Okay, I succombed to temptation.  I don't really need more deadlines and organization in my life -- or maybe I do.  Friday Shootout is my favorite.  Zebra Thursday is fun to watch.  But somehow I got intrigued, at least this week, with Microfiction Monday where they give you a picture and you have to write a story about it in exactly 140 words. 


BAGMAN: "If you start twittering, I'm moving out!!!"

But it's a challenge and it incorporates my favorite Mr. Linky site.  I'd go to that site just for the name if there wasn't anything on it.  I could just skip on down the road all afternoon sing-singing, "Mr. Linky, Mr. Linky, Mr. Linky..."

BAGMAN: "I'm moving out anyhow!  You've lost your mind!"

Anyhow, below is the picture -- not one of mine.  And the 140 word novella to go with it.




"Alice! Come back! I won't leave the gate open again!"

"You said that last time!"

cloppy clop clop.

"And whose field were you in anyway?"
