You know… that Blog?

Is my RSS feed borked again?

If this is showing up in your reader, can you swing by and let me know? My last 2 posts are NOT showing up for me in my reader.

Thanks much!

Note: I turned off Akismet, and up popped the missing posts. It’s probably my theme, according to the helpful folks who haunt the WordPress help forums. No idea how I fix that, but I’ll continue to explore… I’ve turned Akismet back on, but until I figure this out, I’ll turn it off briefly after each post so they’ll “hopefully” show up for you. Hopefully.

Silly Haiku Wednesday

Silly Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Silly Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is: The Road

My submission for this week:

Crossroads or dead end?
So many speed bumps to dodge
Time will tell the tale

Next week’s theme: Freestyle (whatever you want!)

Feel free to continue challenging your own visitors – we’re having far too much fun not to share!

       

 

Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List

To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):

 

Wee One is a ROCK STAR!

Written By: Jenn - Jan• 12•10

Wee One is my quiet, introspective child. Truth be told, she has a shyness issue, and new people and situations scare the bejeebers out of her. We’re working on it, and she has come a long way since last year.

But at home where it’s safe… my quiet child becomes a ROCK STAR!

A couple days ago she decided she was going to sing a song for me – this actually happens all the time – and I thought I’d try to write it down for you;

UNO DOS TRES! (because what Canadian child doesn’t speak Spanish at home?)

Crocodiles are inappropriate (“inappropriate” was actually enunciated, screamo-style)
and Boo is good to touch (Boo is our kitty)

Crocodiles eat people
and they eat feet tooooooo

DING dong DING doooooonnnnggggg!!!!

I don’t get it either, but it sure was a hoot to watch ;)

p.s. I take no responsibility for her hair. Let’s just say she’s grounded from scissors for a while.

All rock stars need an audience. How cool is it that 2 of those dolls were mine when I was her age? Anyone in the 40+ crowd will recognize Holly Hobby, and possibly even Drowsy (pink/polkadot body)
