Use Your Words: Small Celebrations

Hey-O friends!

Today’s post is a writing challenge created by Karen @ Baking in A Tornado.  8 participating bloggers picked 4 – 6 words for someone else to use in a post. All words must be used at least once. All posts will be different as each writer has received their own original set of words. No blogger knows who received their words or in what direction the writer will take them. Until today.  

My words are:

music ~ magic ~ dispel ~ dime ~ day-to-day basis ~ punish

They were submitted by the extremely creative Jenniy@ https://climaxedtheblog.blogspot.com

This little man is graduating with his engineering degree in a few weeks. 

Now, as if by magic, he IS a man. I never can get over how quickly time passes. He's been working so hard in college, and now he's going to be on to his next endeavor.

We'd have to dispel the rumor that COVID-19 is ruining any graduating ceremony or party for him. It doesn't feel like a punishment to call off rounding up family, sending out invites, and expecting gifts from people he never sees.  We've always been a family without grandiose plans. For his high school graduation, Christian wanted to go to...a buffet. No joke. And he was as happy as a clam. I get that it is going to be truly difficult for many graduates this season; I'm so sorry for that.

I decided to plan out a truly grandiose party invite, and then change it up ala our "Stay At Home" orders that are in effect for the next little while.

Congratulations, Christian. Can't wait to celebrate with McDonald's or something. 

Happy Friday, friends. Please stay safe.

Hey-O 3/5/14

No bloggy stuff today. (I know, that's ridiculous; I'm writing on my blog!)

Anywhoo, I just need a place to say hello, if anyone is out there. Holy Hannah, It's 1:30 in the morning. I'm not even sure if the words are cohesive.

Not such a funny post this time. Just wanting to be heard. Just a little bit. Our whole family is going through all kinds of changes right now. I'm just looking for an outlet to scream out loud. AHHHHHH!
I'm hoping that won't get me a rubber room. If I ever was in a rubber room, I'd hope some friends would join me with some moon boots and bouncy balls. Everyone deserves to be crazy, right?

There was no point of this post. I'll probably delete it tomorrow. For now though, I just needed to be heard. If anyone is out there, I'm giving you a big shout out and in a mom voice, "Get your buns in bed! It's a school night"

Happy "What day is it again?"
