Monday – Funday

Credit: @woofknight, X

Happy New Year!! Happy 2024!! I have really good feelings about this upcoming year. It’s going to be a good one! (We even get an extra day – leap year!) May all of your dreams come true for this year. And remember to dream BIG!

I already have our lucky New Year’s Day meal simmering in the kitchen. Pork, kielbasa, brats, sauerkraut, collards, black-eyed peas. It smells good in here!

I’m going to add a new daily addition to the blog. One of our sons got me a book for Christmas, called 3000 Questions About Me. He thought that they would make great writing prompts. I think that I will share a question each day that might work as a good writing prompt to any of my readers who also like to write and/or like to keep journals. Keeping with the theme of luck, here is today’s question from the book:

704. What have you been very lucky at?

Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.

The Confession

I have a confession to make today.  It’s about my biggest guilty pleasure these days.  Okay, here goes:  I love to watch TLC’s “90 Day Fiance’ Before the 90 Days” and I love to read the Twitter feed while I’m watching it.

A reader of my blog:  OMG.

Me:  I know.  Ugh.  I’m sorry.  It just feels so good to just get this off of my chest.

Reader:  Wow.

Me:  I know.  It’s not a good look.  It’s really “yuck.” I know.

Reader:  It’s trash TV!!!!  It’s Jerry Springer on steroids!!!!  What are you thinking?!?

Me:  Well, it’s just kind of relaxing.  It’s on Sunday nights.  You know, the end of the weekend is always such a disappointment; such a “m-whah, m-whah.”  It kind of keeps my mind off of Monday.

Reader:  You know, I was starting to give you the benefit of the doubt.  I was starting to think that you were sort of intelligent and that you had some interesting things to say.  Wow.

Me: I know.  I hate that I like it.  It’s an exploitative, sad and pathetic TV show.

Reader: Uh huh!  Yep.

Me:  I think I’m just going to finish out this season and be done with it.

Reader:  And the tweets are so mean!!!

Me:  I know.  I don’t write any of them.  I just read them.  And laugh.  I do laugh.  Ugh.

Reader:  They are mean with those memes!

Me:  You are so right.  I mean, they are funny tweets, but some of them are mean.

Reader:  Uh-huh.  Yep!

Me:  Wait, how do you know what the tweets are like for “90 Day Fiance'”??
