Puddintopia

I apologize for not keeping to the more regular posting schedule. We have guests this holiday weekend, and are busy busy busy having fun and stuff. For one, my best friend from back when I was still a nerdy teenager is in town. I’m a nerdy middle-ager now, but with good friends, it’s always like nothing changes.

In addition, we have another visitor who’s staying with us this weekend. This is Ginger:

We’re keeping her on a trial basis to see if she’s right for us, if we’re right for her, and if we’re ready to add a dog to the family. Isn’t she cute?

Most postage later, I promises.

10 words; not done yet
Hey, look! Octoberfest beers now!
Fall has no equal.

2 AM; working
project must be done by lunch
no rest for puddin

That post didn’t suck
How to follow it up well?
Haiku! *runs away*

I am exhausted from my many weekend toils. It seems all the effort has burned the creativity right out of me.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do realize that I suck.

The offering of theoretically entertaining wordage will resume tomorrow. Let us all use this time to rest.

And please, enjoy a haiku based on an office bet, compliments of the house.

Is this a real word?
nondisingenuousness
Someone owes me drinks!

Met a cute Basset
Roast pork dinner; ice cream cones
perfect Saturday

To me, just a cage.
For five unsullied young minds,
boundless wonder there

Bath time; all must wash
towels, clothes, water left behind
bathroom disaster

Dearest Internet Friends,

Thank you so for very much for rewarding me with your highly valuable Facebook ‘Like’. Honestly, when I posted the suggestion for Puddintopia on FB this morning, I figured I’d be lucky to get my parents and maybe my wife to become fans.

I got a lot more than I guessed. Although oddly enough, not my mother. I’m going to tell myself it’s because she didn’t get online today, not because she’s embarrassed that I might use the word fart in a post.

Oops, see, there I did it.

Mom, I’m kidding. I know you weren’t online today, it’s OK. You don’t need to call and apologize. It’s cool. And yes, I’m wearing clean underwear, although this isn’t the time to discuss it.

Anyway, because I’m terrible person and wholly undeserving of your online patronage, I haven’t got the time, energy, or creativity for a decent post tonight. I just wrote 1700 (!) words for the novel, which brings the count to roughly 25%! (And there was much rejoicing)

I promise to give you something more fun and entertaining tomorrow. For now, the best I can do is say thank you for liking my foolishness enough to want to see it in your News Feed.

Thank You. Really.

I’ll do better tomorrow.

Pud’n
