Saturday Centus #41

It's Saturday Centus again - in a nutshell, Jenny Matlock gives us a prompt from either herself or a guest submitter and then we have to write 100 or words less related to the prompt (the prompt doesn't count toward the 100 words) Then link it up to her blog. It's open until the following Saturday, so that means you have all week to participate by either reading or writing.

OMG, How cruel Jenny Matlock has been to us this week.  I don't think she's showed us much love with this, ha, ha.   We have to come up with 50 words in Hallmark fashion using this picture.  I almost didn't do it in protest but then I didn't want to ruin my perfect record LOL.  I can't wait until I see what others did.  Go here to see  http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Centus

                                                                

All my life I was waiting for someone.

The moment we met I knew it was you.

You have always made me feel like a hero.

Let’s spend the rest of our life together.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Will you marry me?

Love,

Your Superhero

1.  I had my jury duty this week.  Being that it was a municipal court, there aren't a lot of jury trials.  My first day was Tuesday.  There was one jury trial and I didn't even get questioned to get on that jury.  We got to leave at 10:30.  On Wednesday, we sat around all morning until around 12:00, when the judge came in and told us he didn't need us because his case was settled.  We got to leave again and there were no more jury trials scheduled so we didn't have to come the rest of the week.

2.  Since this is a smaller courthouse, you just wait in an empty courtroom to see what's going to happen.  The judge from that courtroom did come in an talk to us apologizing for all the waiting around we were doing and she kept us entertained for a while.  She also did a video arraignment while we were waiting.  That was pretty interesting.  She did it on the computer and we could see the guy on the TV monitor next to the judge's bench.  We hoped she might do some more but she didn't, ha.

3.  I know some people don't believe in climate change.  I think if the weather keeps on like it's going, the South and other places that don't usually get snow better start buying snow plows for their streets for future winters, ha.

4.  Down in the dumps.  That's pretty much how I've been feeling.  I haven't felt like doing much.  I think it might be seasonal disorder, or it may be because my 6 month oncology appointment is coming up.  I'm sorry I haven't been commenting much on blogs.  It seems like I'm always behind.  Hopefully, I'll get my act together soon.

5.  Does anyone watch Glenn Beck?  I try to watch his show occasionally but I can only watch for a little bit.  I just don't know what to make of him.

1.  I've spent much of my time watching the events happening in Egypt.   Amazing...

2.  I got a call for my first EVER gallup poll  last week.  Woohoo!!  I've always wanted to do one. 

3.  I hope Punxsutawney Phil is correct with his prediction of an early spring but considering he's only been right 39% of the time it's pretty iffy LOL.

4.  I've started knitting dishcloths again for Christmas ;-)

5.  I'm seriously thinking of using that template designer to change what the blog looks like.  I still can't get a picture in my header.  I'm afraid though it will be a mistake and I'll lose all my stuff.  I'm sure someone's done this.  What do you think?

The prompt is in bold.

Sean finally told the doctor about his problem.  He gave him some samples to try.  He took one and then called his wife. 

“I did it”, he said.  

“I’ll be waiting”.

As he walked in the house, the lights were turned down.  He could smell the scented candles burning.  The anticipation; it was growing bigger by the minute.

” Are you ready to try”? She said.

“Yeah, I think so”.

She changed into her nightclothes and opened the bedroom door.  She heard snoring.   “Thank goodness, the insomnia is gone and I’ll be able to get some sleep tonight”.

The prompt is in bold.

Rachel and her family found their dream home and it was time to start packing.  She trudged up to the attic.  She dreaded it because she had stuff that was sent over from England where her grandparents had lived in their later years until they died.

She lifted the stack of letters from the ancient chest and started to read.  It was correspondence from a teenaged girl in England and an American soldier, who eventually married, her grandparents.   As she read letter after letter, Rachel got an idea.  I bet this would make a good short story or even a novel.  She carefully put the letters back for the future.

1.  I can't believe it's been 25 years since the Challenger Shuttle.  I remember my son was less than a month from being 4.  I was watching the launch that day and couldn't believe what I saw.  I watched TV non-stop.  It's one of those days in America's history you remember when and where you were at the time. 

2. We've got snow but so far we've been lucky and haven't gotten tons and tons.  It's mostly been very cold.  The weather guy said we might get hit with a lot more snow in February.  I hope he's wrong.

3. Today I had an ophthalmologist appointment.  He says to me after examining me -  "Oh, I see your going to hit a milestone birthday this year.  You've got the start of cataracts but they are slow growing.  You probably won't have to have anything done until your 70".  Thanks Doc LOL. 

4.  This week was my dinner friends.  We went to a sports  bar.  I ended up getting a BLT and potato salad.  It was something I don't ordinarily get but it was very good.

5.  I hope for Saturday Centus Jenny doesn't pull another fast one on us, ha, ha, ha.

It's another SHAKE UP week.  We have to try to write our centus in the SciFi genre.  Yuck, yuck, yuck.  Enough said.

Prompt is in bold.

"Let's get the kids and visit Earth".


"It's very scary there even for adults".

“I think the children are old enough to learn what happens when people don’t work together for the greater good.   What better lesson could we give them, Xzar”?

“I know you’re right, Orsa.  My grandparents came here because people got so mean; stopped caring about others and only looked out for themselves protecting everything they had with guns. It makes you wonder what they were thinking.  Let’s go”.     

“I’m ready.  Beam me up, Scottie.   Don’t forget the protective bubble just in case”.
