My Queen, thank you so much for an interesting and thought-provoking challenge! I'm still thinking about it! And still procrastinating about what I'm going to do! lol!

How is the FLYing going? I will join you at some point on that! Hope you're having a great week. Respectful hugs and curtsays, Susan <><

Thank you, Jeri, for all the hard work you put into the writing challenges.  This was was a good study for introspection, but fun as well!

Ok, I stink. I missed this assignment. 8(

Since school has been out everything is hectic. Having the kids home all day really makes me eager for school to start back.

Not to mention my Grandmother hasn't been well.

Guess just have had alot on my mind.

Still, it sux that I missed doing this one.

Look forward to getting to do the next one.

Take care

Nice to meet you, Kween! :-)

Glad I got here just in time for the next assignment!!!  It's probably a good thing that I get to start with a positive list!!!

Writing Challenge 2006-08 THE 12 - Sunday June 18, 2006

M'Ladies,

The time has come once again for another writing challenge!

I've been turning this one around in my head for over 2 weeks now, and I just can't shake it, so I suppose we'd better just do it.

We all have little habits that we have become so accustomed to that we hardly notice them ourselves.  That does not mean, however, that someone else wouldn't notice them.  Someone else might find them annoying, irritating, or down right deplorable!

In your best times, you probably annoy someone (as humans, it is most unfortunate that this happens, but it does!)

Here's the idea:

Let's call it "The 12".

I came up with that number because for some unknown reason, it just stuck in my head.  The idea for this came when I was sitting in a waiting room and struck up a conversation with a lady there.  She was pleasant enough, but each time she finished a sentence, she would say "just kidding" and laugh.  Once was enough, twice was allowable, three times and I was down right irritated!

The assignment:

List  12 habits you have that would annoy someone, somewhere at sometime.  They don't have to be huge, quite the opposite.  They may be small mannerisms that you don't really notice until someone else points them out. 

This may take some real introspection on your part.

On each item I want you to tell us if:

Is this something you might consider changing?

If yes, why and why do you think you have this habit?

This is fairly straight forward.  I do think it might be difficult to come up with the entire 12, but I'd like you to really give it a good effort! (I just know that all of my Queens are perfect!)

Time Frame:

You have an entire week to think about this one.  On June 26th please post this challenge on your blog.  We'll run it for 2 days, that will give you Monday the 26th AND Tuesday the 27th to post it!

Have fun with it! 

Please put a notation on one of your entries about this challenge in time for anyone to see it and participate!

Also, as always, put a link on your blog on the day you make your entries. . . and come to this site to let me know that you've posted on your site so that I can leave a link to your site!

Have fun M'Ladies!

I think it's a very original idea.  Good one Kweenie! 
Posted 6/18/2006 at 8:51 PM by CndFrnd
Wow...I can think of a ton of habits that other people do that bug me...now I'll have to turn the tables on myself!
Posted 6/18/2006 at 9:18 PM by PrincessFiveandDime

I don't have any habits.

Well maybe a few.

We will see what I come up with.

Yikes this is a hard one.... ok time to start checking.  I am sure hubby could come up with wayyyyy more than 12. ;-)
Posted 6/19/2006 at 12:14 AM by boogieMomma2
This should be good for quite a few chuckles!  Looking forward to it.
Posted 6/19/2006 at 7:58 AM by endlesssummer128
But I don't have any bad habits.
Posted 6/19/2006 at 9:57 AM by Anonymous
Really?? I can come up with 12 annoying habits that other people have. Not sure I want to come up with 12 of my own. I will give it some thought. As Popeye would say, "I ams who I ams!" See, there is one already, misquoteing cartoon characters....emlee
Posted 6/20/2006 at 2:50 PM by emlee57
12? really??? I am gonna have to get some help on this one. 12 is a big number. I can't think of 12 annoying habits in general. This may blow a gasket in my little brain. I am half way there. emlee

Good Morning M'Ladies,

What an interesting challenge that turned out to be!  The unfortunate part is that I got my words mixed up and asked for an Epitaph instead of a Eulogy. . .ah well, the mind wanders sometimes!

A multitude of thank-you's to all those  of you who participated!  And double thanks to those of you who took it upon yourselves to add a blurb about the challenge to your daily blogs.  I honestly appreciate your efforts. 

The challenge itself didn't seem to bring too many to the table, probably one of the more sparse challenges we've had.  But I realize that at this time of the year things can be hectic (myself as a prime example).  I hope this is not an indication of the challenges to come.  I would hate to think that I'm losing my touch!

Until the next challenge, stay strong, keep yourselves healthy, happy and loving life!

Kween

M'Lady. Thank you again for another thought-provoking challenge. I think it was sparse only because it's a busy time of year for so many. I'm sure things will pick up after everyone gets settled into the Summer. You? Lose your touch?? Never! Have a great Monday!
Posted 6/5/2006 at 10:30 AM by MandMsMom
I know what you mean.With all going on around here, I couldn't muster up the energy to do this exercise.
Posted 6/5/2006 at 11:37 AM by Anonymous

You're definitely not losing your touch . . . I've just been feeling like writing anything is a 'challenge' lately! Nothing personal at all, I love your writing challenges!  Please keep them going!  *hugs*

I had fun, you must have realised as you left a comment, but as it didn't have so many respond you could maybe put out another one in a shorter time. Now I am really busy but I can find time for the things I love. Let me know if you need any suggestions, I haven't got any in mind, but my warped brain does light up when the right keys are pushed.

I think we should do a Eulogy for another time --

I had every intention of participating, but got sooo side tracked with my school work! I'll be on top of the next one (especially since this is the last week of school!)
Posted 6/6/2006 at 12:30 AM by azcason

Thank you for approving my application. I never saw my self as a writer. But, what the heck it would be fun. Something different to try and I like trying anything at least once. As long as I don't get my self in trouble. I hear some of these writing blogs can be brutal with other writers. O'well, I don't get intimated easily so bring it on....hahahahaha  

Thanks for stopping by with a warm welcome aboard.

Kween, I really enjoyed getting into this challange, although I know others did awesome compared to mine, I can't wait to see what the next challange will be.  Until then, thank you for giving me the oppurtunity to participate. ~EM~
Posted 6/5/2006 at 4:34 PM by emmysback
I actually meant to do it dangit!
Posted 6/16/2006 at 10:56 AM by neuroticfitchmom

You are definitely NOT losing your touch!  First of all, I can't ever see that happening....

This was a somewhat difficult one for me to write.  No thoughts would come to mind when I was trying to think about it in the days before (random times, like doing the dishes...), and I didn't think I would participate. 

I definitely don't think that the sparse participation indicates a diminishing interest in the challenge, just a fluke!  So many of us truly enjoy writing and reading other's entries!

Dear Queen,

 I'm so sorry I haven't been able to participate in the challenges lately.

I put up a new post so stop by and see what's new!

I thought this challenge was a good one and I enjoyed reading all the epitath's.  Some were really funny, and all were so sweet!  The first kiss was equally well done by those who participated.  What with graduations, summer activities, recitals, year end stuff, I'm pretty certain you haven't lost your touch at all.  Timing is everything....Please continue to challenge us without changing a thing.
Posted 6/6/2006 at 1:47 PM by vjgunkel59
Sorry I couldn't participate last time but hope to be up to speed for the next one. Hugs, Tami
Posted 6/7/2006 at 11:53 AM by flippertam

Think is just because of the time of year it is getting to be. Everyone is staying busy with summer stuff.

I know that I am having a rough time of making xanga time for me. With the kids on summer vacation and Robert's work hours different, just makes for a much busier day.  Then whenever I do get on the pc, I have to keep getting up for this, that, or the other and aren't able to really set down and get into doing anything.

Looking forward to the next challenge though. =)

Take care hun
