UFC - #89 - I am just a leaf

The challenge was given by my dear friend Caghs the Cat Lady... & I normally don't do poems... because I'm not that good at it.

However, I'm going to give it a try for her. She needs a "pick me up" & so, I hope giving this a try will help put a smile on her face!!

In case you're new to my blog... UFC is a group called UNTIED FRIENDS CHALLENGE. A group of friends & authors. We challenge each others writing talents. We only have to do challenges that inspire use.

To read more entries... CLICK HERE!!

The exact challenge is:
Write a poem about a leaf. Short, sweet, & to the point :)

~ I am just a leaf ~

My life is brief.
Spring waters from heaven gives me strength to grow.
The sun warms & gives me the color green.
Through the summer I wave in the breeze.
Fall arrives to chills my veins.
Yellow, red & brown in between.
Time for me to go before I freeze.
For I am just a leaf.

First day of FALL!!!

Yay!! It's finally FALL!! & The weather here the past week has been in line with the calendar!!

I'm tickled pink that we have not had to have the a/c on for a whole week! ... But I just glanced at the next couple days forecast... BUMMERS... it's supposed to get warm again.

I just hope not so much that we need to put the a/c on!!

Well, that's it for now. OH... wait... I do still have those videos to post... still trying to get them uploaded... I've just had some other things take priority.

Oh... & if it's ok with my dad I'll be sharing a picture of him & my step-mom in the next blog or so. (I sure hope he will let me... because it's a TERRIFIC picture of the two of them!!)

Ok, that's all for now! Later!

Ike is now a TS & heading right for OHIO

The coverage via TWC last night was very interesting to watch. I was glued to the TV until I zonk out. (Shortly after landfall around 3:30a.m.) Good news is Galveston is now in the clear (for the most part)... The bad news, for me... is, now a tropical storm... IKE is heading right for Ohio... It's expected to be here tomorrow at this time. We will not feel NO WHERE near as the winds in which our Texas counterparts felt over the night. Still there is the threat of tornadoes. EEKS!!

Be sure to check out my Nature Photo Album. I have all kinds of screen shots of the satellites & radars. I'll add maybe a few more later on as the storm approaches Ohio. I will also try to find some photos of the waves & etc.

I still have yet to hear from my dear dear friend Amy... I am worried... however, I'm thinking they may not have cell phone service right now. I'm sure she will call or sign on to let us know soon as she can!

Anyway, I am heading off to a "ball" on SL (Second Life)... Yeah, I am still playing on SL... I have a family now... Well, you all know them!... MamaDi, is our mom; Caghs is my sister; Katha is my aunt... & Kartor is DaddyK.

I will try to post some video of the previous Queen's Ball we went to later on... & I'll post more on it then!

*Choo Choo* (that's my wave bye bye now!)

Chocolate Quiz...

This time Autumn Sunshine started it! LOL :)

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You

You are sweet, mellow, and easily satisfied. You don't like anything too intense and dramatic. Deep down, you're a kid at heart... and you're nostalgic for the past. You are a whimsical person prone to daydreaming. Artistic and creative, you're always in the middle of a project. While you are an inspiration to others, you can come off as flaky. You love to be in love. You crave romance, whether you're single or not. You feel lost when you don't feel passion... you need someone to adore.

The Chocolate Oracle

WOW... That sounds JUST like me!!!! :)

The REAL me

(Re-posted from 360) ... At the urging, rather arm twisting, of my 2 good friend Autumn & Maegan... I have decided to post a real picture of myself.

I've procrastinated on this because without a little color, you would be able to see how tired I am! Without makeup, I look like death warmed over sometimes.

So, I finally mustered up the energy & here are the results...

Keep in mind that, for me, getting dressed is a small feat some days... so to put on make up too... that's practically a miracle! LOL

So, "How Do I Look?" (in my best Finola Hughes voice)

See, I look a lot like my avatar, don't I
No, Dad, I have not cut all my hair off... I have it pulled back in a pony tail. But it's only to my shoulders!

By the way... I am happily married, & I am not looking for any other romantic relationships... so don't even ask! (I have my hands full with the man I have now! LOL)

Here's one more picture for you, with my baby... Coleman!

Isn't he just precious I just love him to pieces!

Because I really do not want to get rid of my avatar on 360... I'll post one of these as a headshot here, on Multiply.
