Saturday Wordzzle Challenge: Week 77

This is week 77 of the Saturday Wordzzle challenge. Anyone new to the process can refer back here to find out how it works. Agggh.. my brain is on the fritz. I'm going to post this with just my maxi (because that's all I've written) and hopefully will post the 10 word and mini later tonight or tomorrow.... Ok.. 11:00 pm and I have filled in the missing two. Whew. Looking forward to reading what others came up with.



The words for this week's ten word challenge were: blind panic, apartment, fleas, soap operas, cajun cooking, free and easy, legal, sangria, public school, new For the mini challenge: class, calendar, keeping secrets, boring, fashion


Ten word:

Kate sat in her new apartment drinking sangria, watching soap operas and a cooking show about cajun cooking in hopes of avoiding the blind panic she was feeling on discovering that her poor little kitty was being eaten alive by fleas. She had read all the directions and the legal disclaimers on the Free and Easy flea powder. Free and Easy, she thought, was a stupid name for the stuff. It wasn't free and as far as she was concerned, it wasn't easy either. The directions on the package had clearly been written by someone who had dropped out of public school in the first or second grade, if they had gone at all. Kitty did seem to be feeling better, though and the sangria had both relaxed Kate and given her an appetite. She wondered if there was somewhere she could order cajun food to be delivered. The big city had its flaws, but delivery made up for a lot.


The mini:


Keeping secrets, Amanda Calendar thought, was boring, boring, boring. What was the point of good gossip and exciting news if you weren't allowed to tell it? Her mother told her it was wrong and unkind to tell stories about other people, whether they were true or not. Gossiping, she had said, was low class. But as far as Amanda could tell, the gossipy girls in school were all rich and popular and dressed at the height of fashion, so she didn't think her mother was right about that.



My maxi:

Blind panic, important date
Not free and easy... I'm running late
Cat has fleas, the apartment's a mess
I spilled sangria on my new dress
I've known big Mac since public school
Adoring him was my golden rule
He was so handsome it shouldn't be legal
Me, I was shy and tried to act regal
I had no skill or sense of fashion
Insecure, I hid my passion
Buried myself in boring classes
A pathetic nerd - I even wore glasses
Years on the calendar have moved on by
The world has changed and so have I
I'm considered to be quite good looking
I've mastered the art of cajun cooking
But here's the news that's so exciting
After college I took up writing
My name shows up in soap opera credits
Keeping Secrets is the show I edit
Big Mac's an actor and wants a part
Alas, he still holds the key to my heart
I mustn't revert to days of yore
And remember I'm awkward and shy no more
Who knows love may spring in his heart at last
And in the role of husband he'll soon be cast.
