Maybe you'd like to know...

about a few of the things that illicited rather strong emotional responses from me this week. I'll let you guess the emotions.

- Two fawns in our backyard Wednesday morning

- A garbage/recycle man using the side of the road as his urinal

- A sign advertising manure, except the writer ran out of room, so M-A-N-U-R was written in huge letters, followed by a tiny, squished E

- The second in a long line of Thursday date nights with my favorite person on the planet

- A marionberry pie at Fred Meyer for $2.99

- An ad on the internet for "Poof Stretch Pants, a fashionable addition to any casual wardrobe"

I think that was part of the City's "get to know your customers" program

This was a riot, Hilary! I laughed out loud picturing your facial expressions with some of these. :)

I'll take a shot:

- Two fawns in our backyard Wednesday morning

'Hungry'. Nothing makes me hungrier then seeing edible animals in my yard in the morning.

- A garbage/recycle man using the side of the road as his urinal

'Sympathetic Understanding'. You would no doubt understand the gentleman's immediate need for relief, and would sympathize with the pain he was going through.

- A sign advertising manure, except the writer ran out of room, so M-A-N-U-R was written in huge letters, followed by a tiny, squished E

'Vociferous Indignity'. Naturally such a display would offend your artistic side.

- The second in a long line of Thursday date nights with my favorite person on the planet.

I choose not to take a guess at this one.

- A marionberry pie at Fred Meyer for $2.99

'Elated Horror'. Naturally, you'd be excited to find such a reasonably priced pie, but would be horrified at the prospect of eating a pie so laden with preservatives.

- An ad on the internet for "Poof Stretch Pants, a fashionable addition to any casual wardrobe"

'Enraptured Blithe' - Everyone loves to be on the cutting edge of a new trend.
