It’s Wednesday-Friday! Thanks to Dale Rogerson for posting her FF story or I wouldn’t have remembered the day. And thanks to Rochelle for keeping us on track with wonderful photographs to inspire 100-word stories. This photo was provided by Jeff Arnold. Thanks, Jeff, we all need rainbows these days.
Mom loves me, I know she does, but, even though my name is Angela, she calls me Ditzy. Always. No Kidding.
Tonight, I’m living up to that name in spades. After meeting him once, David said, “Come to my boat. I’ll make you dinner.”
Sure, he’d described his boat, color, size, and told me the number of the mooring slip. Now, with the wind whipping blonde curls in my eyes, I don’t remember.
Red? Blue? Sailboat? Motorboat? Slip 9? 14?
Heck! You only live once. I choose the white yacht at the end of the rainbow.

Ha ha – I hope she made the right decision, or perhaps gave someone else a nice surprise.

‘Blonde curls’ – nice touch!

Thanks, CE (what do those initials stand for?) At first I had her mom calling her Ditzy Blonde. Too much. I think that is what my parents would have liked to call me when I was a teenager. Glad you stopped by.

Hoping it turns out well for her, but her odds are probably 50/50.

I won’t get to other’s stories until tomorrow. Today I’m taking intermittent brakes from learning about Corrective Exercise Continuum: In-Depth. Can’t wait until I can take, and pass, my final exam and get back to messing around.

I think, for Angela, it’s either that or turning back. And she isn’t a turning-back kind of lady. Thank you.
