I Wrote That

z…..

i actually made it. i posted every day, yes, every single day in april. so i fulfilled my NaBloPoMo requirements. although joining NaBloPoMo has made me post more i’m not sure if it has sparked any creativity in me. it became more of a have to instead of a want to. so i don’t think i’m going to do it next month. the theme is voices. which has me stumped anyway.

ZOE–zoe is a muppet. she might be related to grover. she’s cute.

ZOO–i like zoos. i try not to think about the poor animals living in small enclosures on display for their lifetimes. in spite of all that, i still like them. i think it’s my need for instant gratification. the animal is on display so you will get to see it unlike in nature. not that i’ve been any place where zebras and zebus (fancy cow-like animal) walk the street.

ZIPPO–i have a zippo lighter that someone gave me many, many years ago. it has my initials engraved on it. it has never been filled. i found it yesterday when i was looking through some boxes.

ZORG–the bad guy in one of the greatest movies of all time!

ZUCCHINI–there is a local mexican food restaurant here that makes a zucchini, cheese & misc vegetable bake. when they were in their old location they would serve it at their buffet and they had this older gentleman who was in charge of serving this dish. he would ask “how about some of this good calabacitas?” how could you refuse him? lol plus it was/is really good!

a dresser i bought at an auction this past saturday. it’s old and it looks like something chewed off some of the handles. a newspaper from the 50s was found lining one of the drawers. it’s dusty and scratched up but i do like it. it only cost $14. a bargain in my eyes, probably not so much in others.

y….

YAKETY YAK–don’t talk back!

YARGH–at first i was thinking that this is what a pirate says. but then i realized it’s something a caveman would say.

lol capt caveman…remember him?

YAPPY–at my parents old house we each painted a mural on the inside backyard fence. we each had our own space. my mom painted a picture of their dog, their cat & their tarantula. next to each was their name. the cat=felix. the dog=fritz. and the tarantula didn’t really have a name. who really names a tarantula? so my dad named it that day. and it was yappy. who knows why though.

YOSEMITE/YELLOWSTONE–i was going to write this whole thing about going to yosemite and how we were on our way to montana in this huge motorhome. my mom was driving and my dad was navigating. the only thing my mom wanted to see was old faithful and my dad wrongly navigated us out of the park without seeing it. “accidently” of course. but then i figured out that old faithful isn’t in yosemite but it’s actually in yellowstone. which is a Y too so it works out.

YOYO–caine went through a phase where everytime we went to the store he would want a yoyo. it would never last very long and he would quickly lose interest until the next time we went to the store and he would want another one.

check out this kid’s hair. he goes to highschool with my nephews and works at chuck e. cheese. but seriously, the hair. it’s an official ducktail hair do. well as official as it can be for 2008. i have seen this kid before leaving walmart. he had the whole look, white t-shirt, jeans rolled up, even duckie shoes that i wasn’t even sure they made anymore.

re: the black square–not that his hair wouldn’t tip anyone off as to who this is, i didn’t ask permission to post his picture. or to be honest, even to take his picture. lol

x…

maybe i have been putting this off because of how hard it is to come up with words that start with X. i think that might be right.

X-RAY–i have had numerous xrays in my lifetime. my right upper arm, my leg, my nose, my hand. i also have my purse xrayed each time i go into jury duty.

XEROX–making copies.

XERISCAPE–landscape many people have at their homes and business, especially here in the southwest. where water can sometimes (and should all the time) be treated as a luxury item not to be squandered on acres and acres of grass. and just because it takes less water to groww doesn’t mean it can’t be colorful and alive. it’s doesn’t have to be concrete and a rocks.

XENA–warrior princess. there was an animated cartoon movie of xena and hercules. same voices as in the tv show. caine loved that movie. we would rent it at this local/non-franchise video rental store here in town. once i rented it and we didn’t take it back (for numerous bad reasons) and ended up paying $27 for the rental. which would have probably bought us 2 copies. lol oh well. it was a cute movie and sort of worth it.

oh any my favorite character from the tv show? the reason i would even think of watching it….

i don’t even remember the characters name. that’s the kind of person i am. ha ha ha

XBOX–caine’s job. i call it that since he has been known to spend as much time on there as he would at a full-time job!! yeah i know.

flower growing in the driveway at my sister’s house. where there is a will, there is a way.

not again…i really do know that this is cheating. and just posting that i’m not going to properly post isn’t really a post. but then again it is. i may change things around in may and do posting only mon-fri. but still cheating the NaBloPoMo, i know.

too tired. but had to post something. anything.

w….

WINDEX–have you ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? the dad thinks that everything can be cured with windex. he sprayed it on everything. i haven’t seen or heard that it really will cure things but i have read that you can kill ants with it. and it works. but i’m thinking that most any chemical sprayed on a tiny insect will kill it.

WHALE WATCHING–i’ve gone whale watching just once. it was fun. the whales are REALLY BIG! but they aren’t always easy to find despite their size.

WINTER–this is my favorite season. but i think that is because i live in an area that has mild weather and no snow.

WATERFALL–niagra falls is one of the places that i would like to visit sometime. and if you haven’t heard there is a big waterfall there with lots of water. but there are others that i wouldn’t mind seeing either.

niagra falls

havasu falls in arizona

victoria falls

WEST WETLANDS–there is a park in town that is called the west wetlands park. it has many walking paths, a small pond (urban lake?), a boat launch on the river, a regular playground and a BIG playground. the stewart vincent wolfe creative playground to be exact.

cieran insisted on hauling tyler’s birthday present into chuck e cheese for the party!
