Weekly Wordzzle Challenge # 204

And the story of the Paragon of Virtue goes on and on and on. We are up to installment 44!. Still creeping slowly (hopefully!)  towards a finish. Every week I think maybe it will be today and every week the words drag me on in their own path.

Running late as always. Actually, forgot it was Friday and then just got a call saying that my friends are coming with the new TV and the clothes dryer. Yeee haa! Anyway, whatever chance there might have been of me doing my exercises tonight went out the window with that news. Tomorrow! Hopefully...

APOLOGY # 10.... The muse has not only left town, she has locked herself in her room with my disgruntled inner child and they refuse to respond no matter how hard I knock or what I say. Therefore, the week being half over (the Friday to Friday week, that is), I have decided to just take this week off and I will repost this (minus all the apologies) on Friday, hopefully with exercises included. Some part of me is simply on strike and it's winning, and since it is so determined, I think maybe it needs to win. So... see you Friday. Sorry about the delay.

Words for this week's 10 word challenge were:  split, verdict, light and shadow, wrestle, soft breeze, challenge, argument, teen-agers, stripes, eggs   And for the mini: combine, slice of cake, "pray, do tell," silence, layers

My mega:   I"m going to be extra late again - maybe tomorrow - because I have an idea or two hovering around but my mind doesn't seem to want to focus.. Maybe it's the giant 42" TV that arrived in my living room last night... whatever.... I'm going to be REALLY late instead of just my normally very late


APOLOGIES UPON APOLOGIES. My brain is just in shut-down mode. Can't blame the new TV because I'm actually TV-less since the remote broke (hope that's what broke) and it has a bunch of buttons missing for manual control (came from a household with 2-year-old triplets and a 6-year old). SO.... I'm living without TV for a bit. Agggghhhhh..... Good for me, but hasn't recharged my brain yet.  Hopefully I'll post something on Monday.  I have a half an idea or so but NO ambition to write anything. ANTI ambition, in fact, like my inner two-year-old is screaming NO at the top of her lungs. Not easy being me.
