I missed the Wordzzle last week – I just couldn’t seem to
get it written. This week’s is my usual drivel, but I think it’s good for my
brain anyway. Please remember to go to Raven’s
blog to see what other folks have written!
Words for the mini: ambition, charter, bug spray, business as
usual, cheap
Well, it’s business as usual
in the Bug household. I’ve been muttering at my computer so much (aren’t there
any cheap cell phone plans?)
that Dr. M is threatening to get out the Bug Spray. Or charter a
boat to escape the madness. I might not have a lot of ambition, but at
least having a job keeps me out of his hair for five days a week and just might
save our marriage!
Words for the 10 worder: kissing cousins,
macaroni and cheese, chasm, orange glow, bucket list, eucalyptus, charged,
handy, superior, eagerly
Yvonne was pretty sure that sneaking
into an empty building in the middle of the night was not on her bucket list. Learning to water ski on Lake Superior,
yes. Not-so-eagerly running across the chasm of the parking lot,
no. Empty buildings were kissing cousins of haunted houses in her
opinion, and to be avoided at all costs. Entering the lobby she noticed a
familiar scent in the air – was that eucalyptus incense? And under her
office door there was an orange glow reminiscent of cheap macaroni
and cheese (an analogy that made Yvonne realize she’d missed dinner). Was
it on fire? And wouldn’t that just be handy? She returns to the office
to get her forgotten cell phone (charged by this time) and it’s on fire.
Opening the door she saw the candles first, then the incense burners, and then
the tangle of arms & legs on her desk. The security guard was using her
office for a tryst – eww! Grabbing her phone, Yvonne ran out of the office
making a note to call maintenance in the morning – she needed a new desk
pronto. And they should fumigate the office while they’re at it!
Quite the scene in that second one. Wouldn't that be icky, though. I think my favorite thing this week was your use of Bug Spray. Glad to have you back. I had an awful time this week and last week. Don't know if it's the words or brain decay. I'm hoping it's the words.
ReplyDeleteand make sure they use disinfectant on the desk...and put a new lock on the door...ewww...
ReplyDeleteMy first laugh of the day--thank you! Love your wordzzles.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for LOL yesterday at my post. You were the lone person who appreciated my weird humor. I really thought I was funny, but apparently no one else thought so. Oh well. No more poop posts! At least not in such detail!
Ha! I can't believe bug spray was one of the words. I couldn't wait to see how you used it. Both of these made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your 10-worder! Almost the same thing happened in a building I used to work at. In this case it was a couple on the night-shift using the private space afforded by the disabled toilet -ewwww!!! One of the best wordzzles I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteI'm finally up too.
