NOT!
I seem to have all the luck when it comes to membership renewals.
From letters from presidents.
To calls in spite of earlier threat of turning me off.
(It’s a wonder I still love being involved!)
Well it happened again…
Two weeks ago I got the basic renewal email - pay now.
This week I got another.
It asked, “Are you going to [...]

And I didn’t realize it.
Raindrop here.
I live in a neighborhood with lots of dogs in it.
But over the winter, many of us stay inside more.
For months, I only saw the dogs that live across the street.
Recently dogs started walking their owners again.
I didn’t like seeing them near my yard.
I made a lot of noise.
Mom started barking at me!
Mom [...]

And it was all their fault.
Last night I checked out a new store.
Clothes were very cute.
In my colors.
And great styles for me.
Five sales clerks were in the store.
I was the only potential customer.
I had money in my pocket.
And saw a few things I would look really good in.
Unfortunately, the clerks deemed me not worthy.
Spread [...]

It’s just trash now.
This week we got six fliers from the same company.
Two individually rubberbanded to our porch handrail. (UGH!)
Four in our newspaper box.
But not delivered with the paper.
All from a pizza place from the next city over.
Why are they farming my neighborhood?
One of the best independent pizza places is a block away.
And a dozen other [...]

But I did.
I have hit my fill for online communities.
I really don’t want to join another.
I’m happy with what I’ve got.
I don’t have any time to invest in others.
It’s more than just the time issue.
I’m tired of asking people to be my friend.
Many communities don’t have enough people to succeed.
Why make the effort?
I cringe [...]

For a pedicure.
Peggy Hoffman tagged me in blog game - a meme.
To talk about word of mouth marketing.
As it relates to play.
What better than a pedicure?
Yesterday I’m at the spa and my pedicure is almost done.
I’m just waiting for the polish on my toes to finish drying.
In walks a businessman.
Looking sort of flustered.
He plops [...]

If you want a good one!
I’m sitting at my Jr. League meeting.
Just heard a speaker talk about early childhood research.
Time for table chats.
We were to talk what we still wondered about.
A woman at our table shared her concern.
Her oldest child was 3 years old.
It was time to find preschool.
She was overwhelmed by choices.
Which was [...]

For talking to James.
Yesterday, James and I had a progressive lunch in Ann Arbor.
We ate our main course at Jerusalem Garden.
Fabulous lentil soup.
Enjoyed their new decor.
Walking back to the car we decided to stop at another place for desert.
We saw a fairly new coffee shop.
The sun was streaming in the window.
An empty table called our name.
We [...]
