It's not too late!!!! It's never too late.

And don't forget... Prizes!!

This year I have opted for a poem which is not my forte, but I figured, why not? 

Soothed

Black machete,

Magic skull.

A tombstone has risen,

And now shall fall.

The caskets laid,

And earths been moved.

My soul is at rest,

And has been soothed.

Wham bam, thank you ma'am! Hope you guys have an awesome week and thanks for stopping by.

Fast Five Friday is a weekly blog hop created by, us, Cover Girls. Revolving around lists of five, its purpose is to connect with writers, readers, viewers, and bloggers.


Sept. 30 - 5 Top Rituals/Routines You Do Daily:

*Drink chocolate milk for breakfast
*Make sure my eyebrows are filled in, even if I have no other make-up on
*Change into sweats when I get home from work... immediately

EYM - A Song For A Lifetime

Express Yourself is a weekly meme. It's goal is to help our fellow bloggers get to know one another better, to help motivate one another, laugh (or cry) together, in other words – stalk.

Sept. 26-30: You have to listen to ONE song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

This one is so hard cause my music changes with my moods and I can be "moody" when it comes to my music.

But I think I would either choose:

Sail - AWOLNATION
or
If I Had A Heart - Fever Ray


Hope everyone is having a great Autumn so far and is as excited as I am about October!!

EYM - To Lose, Or Not To Lose, A Sense

Express Yourself is a weekly meme. It's goal is to help our fellow bloggers get to know one another better, to help motivate one another, laugh (or cry) together, in other words – stalk.

 

 

 

Sept. 12-16: IF you had to lose one of your senses, which one would it be and why?

 I would have to say Taste?

I was going to go with Hearing but then I would miss out on hearing my children's voices, or hear someone sneaking up on me.

So I'm going with Taste. I'm hoping with the loss of my taste buds, I would grow to hate food and maybe even lose a couple of lbs. Haha

 
Next week: You're stuck in an elevator with 1 friend, 2 celebrities, 3 items, and NO way out, however, help is on the way. List those 6 items/people to pass the time with.
