Ok. SO I opened my book tonight in search of a fun topic and the one that struck my attention was "Describe your favorite male and female body parts using only verbs"... I'm struggling with this way more than I thought I would.
Let's try men's first. My favorite male body part is pushing. It's moving. It's stretching and pulling. It's curling and sweating. My favorite part is resting. It's hugging and holding. My favorite part is supporting and showing affection.
My favorite male body part is arms.
Females! My favorite female body part is swaying. It's swishing and flying and swinging. It's growing and flowing. My favorite part is curling and swirling. It's framing and spiking. It's knotting and tugging and pulling and fighting. My favorite part is dripping and drying. It's falling and waving. It's blowing and billowing.
My favorite female body part is hair (specifically head hair).

Five Things
I just opened my book looking for some inspiration to blog about and the first topic I look at was "Five things you wished you'd asked your grandmother or grandfather."
Not a lot of you know this but my Grandpa John is on hospice care right now and has been for the last month or two. About 2 days ago they told him he had 5-7 weeks left to live. While my grandpa is by far not the greatest man to have lived, he is a pretty special man to me. I haven't given him the love or the respect that he deserves. I know that his deathbed is probably the most stereotypical time to realize this but better late than never right?
I send him a text everyday, at a random time, just telling him I love him and that I hope he has a great day. I know its not much, but its better than nothing. It's better than I used to do...
I was talking to Bradley a few weeks ago about my grandpa and I said that if I was going to get married and have someone walk me down the aisle, it would either be him or my brothers. I love my brothers to death but they aren't the point of this blog...
My grandpa is a great man. He is kind. He is loving. He is annoying beyond belief (those of you who know him know exactly what I'm talking about). But he is always there and willing to help anyone who needs, most of all his family.
He was always there for us growing up. When my brother and I were little, he would pick us up from Dad and Mom Jess and take us to Mom Kelly's house and, while he smoked like a chimney and I hated it, he always had fun games for us to play. He would drive his truck over the rumble strips making my brother and I giggle and yell about how the truck farted. Stupid yes, but when you're 6 it is the funniest thing you've ever heard. And Cabango! Everyone has some version of the game where if you see a yellow car or bus or construction vehicle, you say or do something and get so many points for it. Well our's was called cabango. We would yell cabango and whoever said it first got so many points for whatever vehicle it was. Pointless, yes, but it was our game and that's what we did. Because we were with grandpa. He would listen to Rush Limbaugh, yell at the radio, and we would all play cabango together.
His tickling was so bad. Not only was he a rough tickler (like left a few bruises because he did it so hard) but he wouldn't stop! It was so annoying and aggravating and to this day I cry when someone touches my armpits because I fear that they'll start tickling me and won't stop (ask Bradley, I'm not kidding). It sucked! It really sucked! But it was grandpa! It was my grandpa.
He's the family member we always warn people about. He will talk you ear off. If you're female, he will flirt with you and inevitably ask you to marry him. Jokingly, of course (I think...) but he would. He would talk to anyone he met about really anything and he always had a solution to any problem. He had a way to do it better. Sometimes he was actually completely right. Other times, I'm not so sure.... But that's just who he was.
While he may not be my inspiration to go out and change the world and he may not be the best and greatest person and influence in my life, he is special to me. He made the car fart and taught me cabango and tickled me until I cried (probably gave me PTSD from it). But he is my grandpa. He gave me the name princess snowflake and was always there. Losing him is going to be hard. It already is and he isn't even dead yet!
I know I haven't been the best granddaughter... I am trying now though. I just hope he knows how much he really is loved.

You're a Nigerian e-mail scammer. Write an e-mail that will convince the recipient to send you $200.
Hello,
My name is Tasha and I have been stranded in Ukraine for the past 25 days. I was planning on spending a week searching for my family lines and heritage as this is where my family originated from. I was taken on my 5th day here and have been stuck in a prison camp since then. I'm assuming by now my family thinks that I am dead and I'm asking you to please help me.
I have no money, no credit cards, nothing and I am begging that you help me get home to my family. I am not a big name celebrity, nor am I a politician or soldier, so you will never hear about my disappearance on the news. The government will not help me return to the United and I have no way of contacting anyone else. I'm sending this email out as a distress signal.
I need $1100 for a plane ticket home. I don't expect you to give me all of that but if you could please send me $200 and ask 5 of your friends to do that same it would be a miracle. If you can't spare that much, anything you can spare would be a God-send.
All donations can be sent to 123 Blah St. Address, Ukraine. A kind family is letting me sleep on their floor until I have enough money to return home.
Thank you and God bless,
Tasha
here's another one

Write about what you’ll be worrying about 5 years from now. Ten years from now. Thirty years from now.
Five years from now I’ll be 25. Five years from now I’ll
probably be worrying about whether or not I should have children yet, if I’m
ready for children yet. I’ll be worrying about what career I’ll be in or what
career I should be in. I’ll be worrying about if I have enough money for
children and if I’ve gotten as far in life as I wished to before having them. I’ll
be worrying about buying a house or a car and if I’m really ready for that. I’ll
be worrying about my husband or partner and whether they’re ready for kids or a
house or a life or a family.
10 years from now I’ll be worrying about my children I’m
sure. In the next 10 years I would like to at least have a child or two. I’ll
be worrying about their school and grades and how I’m going to get them around
to their extracurricular activities along with working. I’ll be worrying about
my career and if I’m truly happy there and my husband’s career and if he’s
truly happy there. I hopefully won’t be too worried about money but everyone
seems to be so I’ll probably be worried about money.
30 years from now I’ll be 50. Hopefully sometime in the next
10 years after that I’ll be ready to retire so I’ll be worrying about where I wish
to retire. I’ll be worrying about where my husband wishes to retire. I’ll be
worrying about how my children are doing in college or in their careers. I’ll
be worrying about my parents because they’ll be OLD! :D I’ll be worried about
possibly having grandchildren soon. What else do people worry about when they’re
50?...
I’m sure sometime in the middle of all that I’ll be worried
about the zombie apocalypse or the end of the world or something…but, ya know,
I sometimes worry about that now.

Little Brother
Now that school is back in session, I'd like to get back into my creative writing/blogging again every couple of nights. It's been a fantastic winter but there is one thing I forgot to give my little brother for Christmas. So, bub, this one is for you.
Little Brother
Life gave me a little brother
To teach me about life.
He loves me,
Aggravates me,
And gives me strength and strife.
Though we may be far apart,
Don't see each other often,
You, my little brother,
Are always in my heart.
Thank goodness for you brother.
You're as special as can be.
Don't mess with my little brother.
Or you'll have to mess with me.
Hope you Enjoy it bro. See you again soon. I love you forever and ever.
