Unconscious Mutterings : Week 395

I’m posting today from my new walking station. I set up a treadmill so I can try walking and working. You see, the Mayo Clinic did a study where people walked and worked with little work interruption. It was so successful that the participants wouldn’t give up their treadmills when the study was over. We rigged a treadmill to work. And we’ll see. If I can improve my health and edit/write? Sounds great to me!

With all these changes, it’s nice some things stay the same. Like our unconscious mutterings. I love it when you play too.  To play, simply answer these word prompts (created by Luna Nina) in the comment section. Playing relieves your unconscious! Try it!

Here are your word prompts:

  1. Leads ::
  2. Concierge ::
  3. Thousand ::
  4. Engines ::
  5. Argument ::
  6. 2006 ::
  7. Knot ::
  8. Fuck ::
  9. Handsome ::
  10. Ridge ::

My responses:

  1. Leads :: to  mayhem
  2. Concierge :: fancy dinner reservations
  3. Thousand :: s of eyes
  4. Engines :: steam
  5. Argument :: loud
  6. 2006 :: Colorado Trail
  7. Knot :: Tied the
  8. Fuck :: a doodle do
  9. Handsome :: gesture
  10. Ridge :: overlook

Happy Sunday!!

Unconscious Mutterings : Week 376

It looks like spring has finally arrived to Colorado. The weather is warmer, the gorgeous yellow wonder of forsythia is out in full force and I have the antsies. Of course, the antsies lead to doing too much – like 2 hours of latin dancing last night in new dance shoes. Doing too much leads to soreness… Yep, it must be spring!

At least we can count on our unconscious mutterings. This weekly exercise is truly my favorite thing every week. Please do play.

How do you play? Easy. Just fill out the word prompts (created by the lovely and talented Pea at LunaNina) in the comments. When you finish take a look at what other’s have written. You’ll be amazed at the wonderful similarities and differences between each of us.

Let’s play! Here are your word prompts:

  1. Habit ::
  2. Relaunch ::
  3. Mondays ::
  4. Bootstrap ::
  5. Funk ::
  6. Appreciate ::
  7. Yay! ::
  8. Life ::
  9. Sheets ::
  10. Date night ::

My answers:

  1. Habit :: forming
