Wordzzling Works Wonders

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy – and I didn’t think I had a creative cell left in my wrung out mind but Wordzzle always makes me happy.

Here are my humble offerings for this week. I still can’t go ‘mega’ – I leave that to juicier minds.

Ten Word Challenge: cocker spaniel, penultimate, fetters, warranty, tarmac, quartz, paparazzi, apple sauce, earsplitting, lackadaisical

I popped out of the Hummer limo and stepped onto the tarmac. I hoped the first impression I made would be as absurd as possible. I knew my fans still adored me, I could tell by the earsplitting screams coming from the roped off area. “Mia, Mia!” the paparazzi shouted my name. I walked toward them with as much of a lackadaisical air as I could muster. I posed and pouted. I held up Petunia, my cocker spaniel puppy, for all to see. She was dressed in a little pink cape and I stopped to feed her silver spoonfuls of apple sauce. I moved closer to the flash bulb wolves and smiled as they grabbed for me. “Watch the quartz crystals boys” I grinned as I shook my bejeweled arms in their faces, “the warranty has expired and I’m retiring so money will be tight”. They laughed like the jackasses they are as I turned sassily on my 6 inch heels and headed to the plane. This was my penultimate media whore moment. I would need to put on more show at the little airport outside Fetters Hot Springs before I headed to my new home, my vineyard and my real life.


And for the Mini Challenge: spinach, interwoven, compromise, tennis, intangible

Carla knew that the reasons for her huge weight gain were interwoven into so many issues, issues she was just beginning to understand. Although her emotions were real, the events behind them continued to seem intangible. If she couldn’t explain to herself, how could she explain to anyone else? So she continued her unsatisfying and ultimately unsuccessful compromise; she’d play tennis 3 times a week and eat nothing but fish and spinach. The weight would come off again, it always did, and the cycle would continue.

Make sure to go to Raven’s place and check out all the other entries. And consider playing along next week. If this could brighten my mood then it can do wonders for anyone.

Happy Wordzzling to all.
