So I found this through Kayla Aimee's blog...I am always looking to improve my writing skills. The idea is to write for five minutes on the prompt. So, here goes...Please bare with me on this :)
The Prompt is Red:
Red is actually the color I am seeing right now as JoJo or
Wolfie or Maddie has somehow managed to remove the Word Icon from my
desktop. And while I know how to use my
Mac…I am not perfectly adept at it. So I
have no way to get the damn icons back.
Drum, Drum, Drum…that is the noise my fingers make as I sit here and try
to type something meaningful about the color red. This is my first time participating in this
sort of activity. I seem to be failing
at actually talking about red. I look
around my office. The only red thing I
see is tape measure, and a red folder full of hospital bills from JoJo’s
shopping cart incident that resulted in a skull fracture and subdural hematoma. Do not allow three boys in a cart at
once. That is a true life lesson. Now, I see mom’s in stores pushing their kids
in the carts while their children are standing…Do you know how much that freaks
me out? Well, it does. Think, think, think…I am thinking….Red, red,
red, red….Red is the color of love, it’s the color of anger…Don’t you think
that’s funny? How can love and anger be
associated? I love my children but they
sometimes anger me. I love my husband,
but he sometimes angers me. Geez, I feel
like a weirdo…
********Stop*******
So, there you go...The timer really did go off at that point. Mariphone is such a genius ;)
Ooo, I love this stream-of-consciousness Five Minute Friday! It is funny that anger and love are both associated with red, and I've seen several others make the same observation, too. Thanks for sharing! :)
