Writer's Workshop (and done on time)

So this week I am getting an early start on the Writer's Workshop that Mama Kat hosts over here. I usually sneak in at the last minute and try to pretend that I am a good bloggy pupil...all the while knowing in my heart of hearts that alas, I am a slacker. and while I am happy that even though it is very late at night, and I have a small male child with his head resting on my knee sleeping that I should be putting to bed.....I will write this post. and sleep peacefully knowing that I. indeed. DID IT ON TIME...

here is the concept

Pick from a list of prompts. Write about said prompts and post on Thursday

simple enough huh? you'd think I could manage to do that once a week huh...but no, like I said. slacker.
but I digress, I'm owning it and moving on. here are this weeks prompts (settle in, she said I could pick more than one)

The Prompts:



1.) Look up a favorite childhood actor and tell us where they are now. (inspired by Missy from The Marketing Mama)

I used to get lost in TV land. I have always been a bit of a dreamer and if I wasn't pretending to BE the actor (female) I was in love with em (male). Here are some all time favs..



I especially LOVED Fergie (who was Stacie Ferguson at the time) and Martika (who went on to record "Toy Soldiers" as an older solo act and later on Jennifer Hewitt (who went by Love Hewitt at the time)



*sidenote- I get so distracted when doing posts like this, makes me have to go back and look up all the random things I had forgotten (like the "Toy Soldiers" video I have playing right now in the background as I am typing. ugh! I think I am ADD......

anyhow, more of my fav child actors/actress have been



my "first" couple infatuation...I wanted to BE Brenda and I definately just knew that Dylan was the boy for me.

and here is why...ugh. the angst



 2.) A post you regret publishing.
This one is not a clever answer, no cutesy pictures and it is one of the few times I let myself use the delete button. I regret posting when I am emotional when it comes to my birthmother. I say the first thing that comes to mind (usually with the help of some liquid courage) and what should be a private growing process becomes online for all to read. I have never had to censor myself before, so this newfound maturity of holding my tongue and taking the time to think of what my words may mean to the other person is one that I am growing into. I have often said I need one of these on my phone and my computer when I drink

okay I lied, I just made a funny...

3.) A hair disaster.  (are you kidding me, my hair changes weekly and to prove it, pics dont lie)

as you can see no color is off limits, no tool unused in my quest to explore the one avenue of my life that I truly CAN control....




4.) If you had made a career out of whatever you were passionate about when you were ten…what would you be doing?

                       I wanted to be a singing cabdriver who did interior design and wrote mind blowing         poetry in my spare time....






It's been fun. Thanks for hanging in there to the end of my post... now it's time for me to put this boy in bed before they take away my parent card (not really, if they havent done it by now I think I'm safe)
