Putting Out

It is day 5 of the 30 minus 2 days of writing hosted by Nicky and Mike of We Work For Cheese.  This is written for the prompt "You better put out".  Don't be put out, check out the list on Nicky's post for more stories.

I am the keeper of all things time, date and place related in our family. 

"What time are we supposed to be there?"  It's my job to remember who's house the party is at and what time we are supposed to show up.

"Do we have shows tonight?" This is a phrase often heard at our dinner table.  I am also the human TV Guide, knowing what's on, when and what channel.

I take it all in stride, rinse and repeat as necessary.  I also delegate!

"Hey, tomorrow is Wednesday, you better put out the trash!  

"Recycles too?"

"Nope, they're next week."

"Why did you do all this for me?" he asked. "I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you."

"You have been my friend," replied Charlotte.  "That in itself is a tremendous thing."
― E.B. White, Charlotte's Web


The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
― Henry David Thoreau

Friendship is more about being than doing.   

How Doth the Time Pass

It is day 3 of the 30 minus 2 days of writing hosted by Nicky and Mike of  We Work For Cheese.  This is written for the prompt "And the next thing I knew".

Time is a funny thing.  Sometimes it passes so slowly you are certain the entire Redwood forest will be petrified before you advance to first in line at the checkout.  The girl with pink hair and enough body piercings to rival a punk rocker gives you a surly look, then calls someone from the cosmetic department to determine whether the brand of lip gloss you are purchasing is actually the one on sale.

What does this have to do with today's prompt you ask?  Well, it is all about how fast or slowly time passes in relation to a particular event.  This challenge was announced on January 12, giving the industrious person ample time to prepare.  I read the prompts and assured myself I would have several posts pre-written  so I wouldn't be always be writing by the seat of my pants.  I mulled, pondered, ruminated, cogitated and ultimately procrastinated.  I've got plenty of time.  Well, time has a way of speeding up at all the wrong times, and the next thing I knew it was January 31.  Oops!  I had nothing, nada, zilch.  So here it is day three, and yep, I'm writing by the seat of my pants...again!

So for you lovely folks
I leave this bunch of cheesy jokes.

A Mexican, Englishman, and an American are in a bar having drinks.

Whoever can use the words ‘liver’ and ‘cheese’ in a creative sentence can date me for tonight.

The Englishman says:  I love liver and cheese!

The woman says:  That’s not good enough!

The American says:  I hate liver and cheese!

The woman says:  That’s not creative!

The Mexican says:  Liver alone, cheese mine!
