.......good morning campers!!!!....have you ever had a word that just describes what you are about?......well this word just jumped out at me and said" hey, let me be your word for the next 7 months"....the word said this in a really high pitched voice, and was really insistent that i use her....i'm guessing the word is a she, cause of the high voice...but could be a boy and it's going through puberty.......do words go through puberty?....well anyway, my word is ..."streamline".....very groovy....makes you think of a fast train, or a supersonic jet, or of course,  a chaotic artist............didn't know i even needed a word, but my word decided i did........so we are in this together for the next 7 months.....i gave myself 7 months to get through some goals since the last 7 months worked pretty well....no major tantrums on my part...and 7 is a good number
          so, do yall have a favorite number also?....7 wasn't really my favorite number.....my favorite number was 6........you see i used to be a spy.....i can tell you that now, cause i'm retired......went by the code name of "b6"....i could of been a vitamin...ha ha....that rhymes .....ha ha.................anyway, i was probably around 10.......i kept a spy notebook, that yes, i still have....very interesting info in there by the way....good stuff on what the evil older sister was doing...............so i would wear my spy clothes, red turtle neck sweater and jeans....and walk up and down the block spying on people........oh i was a favorite with the neighbors.......can't imagine all the calls my mom got..... cause back then most moms stayed home.....so how lovely to have a kid peering in windows everyday......well from the sidewalk......so my spy obsession took off after reading, yep you guessed it , harriet the spy.........sometimes my friend audrey, who was "a6"....not the shoe asics, but a6..ha ha, would spy with me, but mostly it was me........i wasn't the most adventurous kid.....but i had an adventurous imagination, i basically stayed on my side of the sidewalk and walked our block, back and forth.......i was obviously an amazing spy cause no one ever confronted me about spying......
               but you wonder, well i wonder , when did we lose the whole, "my favorite number" thing.....ya know when your'e a kid you have a fav number, color, animal, etc, all kids knew everyone's favs........it says so much about who you are ...but as we get older somehow we ask...."what do you do for a living, whats your job"...blah blah blah.....it's becomes more about what you do that who you are...........i think everyone oughta ask the next person they meet what their favorite number and color are...maybe even be so bold as to ask their fav word.....what?!....just see what response you get..................could be a strait-jacket might become involved......but anyway....
               so streamline it is for me...and yeah 6 is probably still my fav number (me and my hubby and our 4 kids)....course could be 9 for grands....i guess that one changes...ha ha .....or it's doing a cartwheel...........and blue and confetti are my fav colours!....and speaking of goals....well i wasn't really but now i am.....have you been working toward your first goal???.....you can do it!!!!......have part of it done by next tuesday....i could sic my bg on you if that would help!.....................take care and be groovy!
