The Girl At School Drops Her Pencil

What's this? Pure bliss NOTE: Hey everyone ... so I've been pretty busy these last few days, with packing, cleaning up, setting up yard-sales etc., so I'm gonna take a short break from posting and commenting ... but in the meantime feel free to enter my very first contest, March of the Footle. Curious to see how it goes ... happy writing!

Silly one! Bliss that the pencil offered ample distraction, eh? I love a good distraction. Always, Laura

No problem, Carrie. I thought your Driver's School poem to be very well thought out :) I enjoyed reading the diverse entries people sent in.

Not entirely sure ... you and Paul did though. The old "OOooops! Clumsy me. Dropped my pencil" gag ... hahaha.

Note to Tim: Your contest will go splendidly. ;) Don't mark your prices too low-people will ask if you'll take less.

Good reminder, Lin. Always a lot of hagglers at yard-sales ... even for really silly stuff. "So it says 50 cents on the tag, but will you take a dime instead?" .... Crazy, if you ask me!

I'll be off and on --- still got two months before I have to leave the house, but it's good getting prepared early!
