Wakela Runen's World

Thirteen Things about Wakela Runen Today's Thursday Thirteen is a list of 13 places I want to see again or for the first time before we move out of Florida. I am not sure how long it will be until we move though. Our house has been on the market since the beginning of the year. 1. Bach Tower - I remember visiting this as a child. We had always called it the singing tower. I never really knew its name until I got older and started missing it. Every time we would go to Disney, we always stopped here on the way home. The gardens were always so beautiful. I remember walking around them with my mom and dad. Then the tower bells would start. No matter where in the gardens you were you could hear the songs. It always seemed so magical to me. 2. Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens - I have only been there once. Unfortunately it with one of those types of people who is always in a rush. He could never really appreciate anything. Instead of looking at the beauty surrounding

The Question of the Day over at the Monday, Monday meme : What’s on your agenda for today? As for me, I’ve got the day off to spend with my husband. We’ll probably end up at the movies. Any suggestions? Unfortunately, I have to work today. I really don't feel like going in at all. The last few weeks I have been taked off of my job to do another one that no one else wants to do. The reason for this is that in a normal day, I spend 5 hours doing my job and the last 3 hours doing closing work. So, I only have 5 hours a day to get my job done. This never works out at all. That isn't nearly enough time. So the boss took me off of that job for "one week" to show me that it can be done. Well, I made the mistake of commenting that the person who was doing my job was there for 8 hours. I told her that I knew that it could be done in 8 hours. I just couldn't get it done in 5. Well, I later found out that she hadn't been doing all of my work. Just some of it.

So over at the Sunday Scribblings blog, they posted a really interesting journal prompt. It really got me thinking. When in your life did you feel the most powerful? Was it childhood? College? Now? What is that feeling like; what does it mean? Do you have power over your own life, or are you not feeling that so much these days? If you don't want to get serious, you might imagine superhero powers, and what you would do with them. I would definitely have to say that it was my childhood. Those golden years of youth spent running around the streets. My parents didn't have to worry about the same thing that parents of todays younger generation have to. I lived in the same house all of my life. My neighbors didn't change that much while growing up. So it was always the same ones. We were all buddies. We were there for each other. Of course we had our share of squabbles, but don't all kids? I remember attempting to hold a magic show in my backyard. I had no knowledge

I don't know the details about this project. I didn't write them down at all. :-( Anyway, it ended up being a poem. Looked away Deep inside Cold and bleary I stay and hide Emotions creeping Just like vines Trapping me Inside my thoughts Escape, escape I need to run away Stuck for an eternity Choked by emotions Bleak world Void of color The only sound Is that of silence It is time to emerge From within my tomb Break free from the vines That I have chosen

Write ANYTHING, so long as all of the following words are used (different tenses may be used, though using the word exactly as it is would be preferred): Egg nog Garland Snowshoes Fahrenheit Cloudy Stocking Christmas of The Heart My heart was cloudy and dismal as I went on with the day. Christmas was only a few days away. I couldn't shake the sadness that pervaded me. Christmas was an enchanted time of year when I was younger. As I grew older and more jaded, the spirit had left me. I had turned cold inside. My heart was a chilly 10 degrees fahrenheit. I felt that love could no longer blossom within the wintery land of my emotions. The thought of spending another Yuletide without Craig caused an ache that ran deep. It was 5 years ago that his car skidded on the frozen highway. It was 5 years ago that he was stolen from me. I remember that night vividly. It was a chilly destitute night. Craig had ran out to the store to pick up some egg nog. He was afraid to let me drive in the horr

This is a repost of an old project that I had taken place in. I miss the Alchera Project. It was really great. Unfortunately, life had slid downhill and I was unable to take place in it for awhile. When I went back again, it was gone. :-( This project was originally done on 3-9-05. Anyway, here is some info that Laura had written on the site about this particular project. Explanation of the option from Alchera Project : "I modified the Grab Bag option a bit this time, too. I felt requiring six random words might be too much of a time-consuming challenge with everyone's school and work loads, so while there are still six words, you are required to use only three of them. The three of your choice, actually, which makes the heading "Grab Bag" much more applicable to the actual fulfillment of the project.
