Knees and Rain and Grogs... oh my

The only sure thing about luck is that it will change. ~Wilson Mizner

Thanks for all your well-wishes yesterday. Today, I'm going to get a knee brace (thanks, Charity) and I think that should make me well enough to go to the fair (as long as I'm not stupid). Of course, now they're calling for rain on both Thursday and Friday (the days we go because it's not so busy). I swear, if it's not one thing, it's another!

In other news, a couple months ago, I was contacted by Marianne Stephens about a group blog (grog?) she was starting that would be populated by authors named Marianne (and every variant thereof). She asked if I'd like to join -- I'd only have to blog once a month.

I decided to go for it. The blog -- called All Day, All Night officially starts on October 1st and we're running a contest starting now through the end of October (it includes Godiva Chocolate, so how can you go wrong?). All you have to do is follow us to get an entry -- though comments on the posts through October give you more. I'll be blogging on the eleventh every month. Wish me luck!

=====================




You Should Stay Away From Brown



You are a worldly and cosmopolitan person. You consider yourself openminded and nonjudgmental.

You are very witty, and you're willing to make light of anything. You are proud of your sense of humor.

The color brown sometimes represents a lack of sophistication and humor. What a bummer!

Brown can also be a heavy color, and you're just too light hearted for its weight.



I actually like brown, that rich, chocolate brown ... I have several items of clothing in that color. Uh oh. ;-)

You Should Stay Away From Blue
You are open hearted and a total people person. You think people are basically good.
You are always out to make a new connection or a new friend. You stay engaged in the world.

Blue sometimes represents coldness or aloofness. You are the furthest thing from cold!
Blue also points to a lack of emotion and lack of interest in others. You, on the other hand, aren't made of stone. People matter to you.

I think it's sort of true. ;-)
Glad you are going to use a brace.
Sad about the rain - of all times for it to rain...what was wrong with raining in the previous 2 months anyway?? sheesh.

Good luck with the new Blog adventure!

Hope your knee continues to improve.

Ref: blog
What are you guys going to talk about?

I think that's the third blog I've seen that uses the 'same name' premise.

Hope your knee is better. I read that they have a flood watch today and tomorrow all the way to Vermont. That would mean a LOT of rain. I hope they are wrong.

I hope the brace helps. They are predicting rain tomorrow up the eastern coast. We have a flood watch going tomorrow.

You Should Stay Away From Purple

You are outgoing and down to earth. You're the typical guy or gal next door.

You don't think you're better than anyone else, and you're very practical. People really take a liking to you.

Purple sometimes represents decadence and pettiness. You prefer to treat everyone equally.

Purple can also point to extreme introversion. You are too outgoing for a color like that!


60% accurate.

Have a good Wednesday.

Hope your knee feels better. Make sure you have a place to sit/rest at the fair.

Have fun with the Marianne blog. Be sure to post a link when it's your day. I'll never remember!

I hope the knee brace is helpful. The 'same name blog' sounds kinda neat! Do you know what types of subjects the blog posts will contain? I'll try and remember to check it out!

That last line cracks me up! If only they knew...... And yeah, I have two purple tops. *g*

I hope you have a good day!
