I have a problem

So, I REALLY want people to discover my blog by themselves.  I don't want to be that person who says, "HEY!  I just started a blog!  You should go read it every day!"  At the same time, every time I talk to someone, I feel like saying, , "HEY!  I just started a blog!  You should go read it every day!"  And it doesn't help that I don't have any comments yet.  I know, I know, I need to be patient, grasshopper.  Someday someone will find it.  In the meantime, I can use the anonymity to give my real thoughts about ants, pumpkins, the color teal, and nieces.  Stay tuned!

TV Land and me

I just wasted a WHOLE day watching TV Land.  Ehhh, i would feel guilty, but how often do you get a whole day of Bewitched, The Nanny, I Dream of Jeannie, and The Andy Griffith Show?

Grandiloquence

Grandiloquence, as far as I know in my humble vocabulary, means to be pompous.  You can say, "There goes a grandiloquent looking elderly person."  Or, "Slap me silly if that don't be a grandiloquent rose bush."  Or, "I could say he's a sesquipedalian, but that's just a grandiloquent way of saying he likes long words." 

Hmm, I just looked up sesquipedalian to make sure I spelled it right, and I learned that its origin is sesquipedalis, which means something measuring a foot and a half.  Ha Ha!  So someone who likes to use long words is someone who uses words a foot and a half long.  Perfect!

Elephants

Elephants are known to be cuddly.  They are a nice warm heat source when you're traveling for long periods of time and you don't have enough blankets at night.  Just cuddle up next to one.  Be careful not to get an elephant that tosses and turns, though.  Problems.

Monkey see, monkey doo-doo

Today was my first official tagalong as an investigator.  We went to a hair salon.  I won't talk much about the hygiene of the place except to say it's a wonder people don't leave there with lice.  and bed bugs.

Then we went to the second place for the day.  The difference was night and day.  It was a gift shop, and it smelled perty.  Looked perty good too.  I wouldn't say I'd eat off the floors, but it sure had 100% of my vote for cleanliness, plus some extra shares lost by the other place.

Isn't it interesting (or obvious) that the owners' personalities, cleanliness, payroll, relationship with the employees, and record keeping abilities are all tied together?  When you find goodness in one, you'll usually find goodness in all.  Unless it's that sickly sweet "goodness" of hospital cleansers used to mask unpleasantness.  But usually I can see the difference and be able to remark, "Something's rotten in Denmark."  Or Utah.

First case today

Did you Fall for it?  Come on people!  Like I'd actually write opinions about employers we actually visited, much less comment on their payroll or record keeping for the whole world (or my nonexistent fanbase, anyway) to see!  Remember, this is a creative writing outlet, and half or more of the posts are not going to be true.

Stay with me folks. [and by folks I mean all the voices in my head, since there's obviously no one reading this, yet or ever as the future will show]

Then again, perhaps it won't be very good to pretend I'm writing about my cases.  Could actually get me in trouble at work...  Methinks I'll take my creative juices to other topics.  Perhaps elephants.  and grandiloquence.  And radixes.  and carrots.  and bridges.
