Seven Lucky Scary Stories
"I hung out with Randy and one of his ex’s boyfriends had a time last night. Sometimes, Randy really goes off telling stories about things he remembers. Last night he took the mount off my wall above my oven! It was one of the craziest things I ever had seen Randy do while reminiscing. He was making gracious claims, something about it being made of metal with words engraved on it. He said there was an old-fashioned saying on it in another language. Only when he took it out of the wall, we could see it was wood and it was painted white. He said he was taking it home to work on it with some kind of paint remover he ordered to take the paint off and then we would all have a look at it. He wanted to see it again. Thank goodness it won’t be very difficult to put back together again."

"This day 9 years ago I had been hoping to go into labor. I was ready to go. Now, today I am hoping to get a connection to the Internet, I’m drinking coffee from ½ used old coffee grounds and remembering to do my taxes. I need to mail a tax letter and I am so tired of studying for the NCE exam. I am wearing my daughter’s birthday princess crown waiting for her to get here. How did things get this way? This is so much better than being in labor!"

Birthday Wishes
A birthday wish
Is right here
Near the angel-food cake
Between the Strawberries
Taped down under wrapper
Recorded onto an MP3 player
In the eyes of guests
In the shine of earrings and
Hidden in an egg hunt
