Writer's Workshop from MamaKat

Mama Kat has a really cool lil thing-a-ma-bob she does every week called Writer's Workshop. She thinks up prompts and then if you choose to accept the assignment, you write about them.

Here are her prompts for the week...

1.) If you were starring on American Idol TONIGHT and HAD to sing, what song would you choose and why.
2.) Take a picture of yourself right this minute without primping and explain to us why it is you have not washed your hair today.
3.) I just asked Pat to help me with a writing prompt so here's his: "What do you think about the NBA All Star game"...blech.
4.) What's your number one pet peeve? Develop a punishment for anyone caught in the act.
5.) Write about something mean you did to a sibling growing up.

And my responses:
1) I would ever ever ever try out for American Idol and the world should be thankful that I don't try, I know my high school Chorus teacher is very thankful for that. But if I did, I would totally do Sugarland's song "Steve Earl" I just like the silliness of the song and the accent and I love to sing it when nobody's listening!

2) I did wash my hair and put on makeup and heels and even my big phat diamond necklace but alas, my camera is fresh outta batteries!

3) There is a NBA All-Stars game?

4) My number one pet peeve is people that send "professional" emails or Craigslist post or any other form of written communication without using spellcheck and correct grammar. When you are emailing your BFF about last night's Grey's episode, it's one thing, but when you are sending me an email about about a committee meeting or a soccer coaching university or anything else remotely "professional," is it really that hard to REREAD what you just typed? Spellcheck is your friend! Their punishment should be being forced to walk around wearing a sandwich board that declares "I AM AN IDIOT AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE SPELLCHECK!"

5) I grew up as an only child and by the time I had brothers around full time, I was too old to really torture them. I've said mean, smarta$$ things to them but never anything that could be considered sibling torture.

I'm glad that I decided to do these today. My brain is full trying to plan the pack camp out/blue and gold banquet and I needed some down time.

Now off to make spinach raviolis and hope that they are edible!
