F is for still Figuring
it out
When I was trying to think about what I
was going to write for “F” day, my mind was blank except for
“Fun” and another word I don't think I'll mention here that
rhymes with duck. Although, I do remember asking one of my older
sister's friends what the unmentionable word meant and why it was bad
to say. However, I didn't think that was a subject I wanted to
go into here. “Fun” was such a broad topic, I couldn't seem to
narrow that down enough to write a cohesive post about it.
Next I called in my son and asked if he
would brainstorm with me a little. He was full of ideas for the
letter “F”. However my mistake was starting the conversation
before I had something to write with. Here's some of the things I
managed to write down that he suggested.
Fireworks: good. I have some
decent pictures I took of them last summer. I could use the story
about my 18 month old nephew saying, “Bubbles boom.” when he saw
them. Maybe.
Fried food: that always tastes
good, but don't know if I can expand it into a new post unless I cook
something with a recipe. Not gonna happen in time.
Friends: maybe, use the standard
theme of new friends in blog land
Firsts: a possibility but the
topic is so broad I'm drawing a blank
Forgetting and do a corollary
post for “R” on remembering: Got plenty of forgetting examples
for this
Fans—I could tell about the fights with my sister over the fan in the room we shared. Don't
know if she would like that because I, of course, would be the one
who came out looking good.
Furniture: I
got nothing
Formaldehyde and dissecting
stories: I could tell about the biology teacher who would take a snake out of
formaldehyde and throw it at us to make us not afraid of snakes. Not
sure that worked.
Fungus: why does fungus sound
gross while mushrooms sounds gourmet
Flatscreen TV: I got nothing
.
Floors: already posted about our new floors
Fiber: not sure that's where I
want to go here
Fluorescent lights: maybe. I
have a few opinions about them.
So there you have it. My undeveloped
ideas for "F". When I showed a draft of this post to my son, he said
that it was awfully early in the alphabet to do a post like this and
maybe I could do one about Fingerprints. Well, it's time to
move onto the next letter, so I have to go with what I've got. If I'm
really lucky, I'll have another “brainstorming” session with him, and convince him that he needs to write the next post. :)
Hahaha! Good job! When I tried to think of an F just now all I could think was Fancy and Figs, neither of which are remarkable to use.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's a brand of Fancy Figs you could post about.
DeleteToo funny. In Michigan, there's a locally famous town called Frankenmuth which prides itself on its German heritage. I would probably write about that.
ReplyDeleteI just looked up Frankenmuth and it sounds like a charming little town with a lot going on. Do you visit there much?
DeleteIf this is what you come up with for F I can't wait to see your posts on letters such as X. :-) Kids and fireworks are hilarious, every child explains them in a different way, bubbles popping is a new one to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! I haven't even thought about X yet.
DeleteWell, I think you got F well covered in the end! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it was covered well enough to move onto G.
DeleteThis was a fun post and glad I'm not the only who asks others for ideas. Great post!
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year I will have a plan. Good luck, Lisa, on the rest of your posts.
DeleteFlippin' Fantastic Foray into the Fabulous Field of F!
ReplyDeleteFank you!
DeleteYou sound like me. The longer the challenge goes on the more I dig for ideas. I bug all my peeps...give me some stuff for F!! They think I am insane.
ReplyDeleteI haven't branched out beyond my family, but I should put my friends on alert that they may have to come up with some ideas.
DeleteI don't know, I think you covered F pretty well ;) I love Bubble Booms! so creative!
ReplyDeletebetty
It was pretty creative using only the words he knew to describe something. As an adult, he's still pretty creative with words.
DeleteYou REALLY covered F!
