Yawn

Wednesday. Almost late to work cuz I had to go get gas in the car in order to make it to work.

Work itself was boring and rather uneventful. Made more headway on deadised's 12th night gift for next year though.

Managed to only get lost briefly after work on my way to the training meeting (never went that way before and made a light wrong turn at a fork in the road, which was easily fixed at the next intersection)

OK, the "how to be a 4-H public presentation judge" training thing I had to go to tonight in order to judge public presentations this year was a HUGE waste of my time. I learned absolutely nothing new.

Yes they are adding two new kinds of presentation possibilities, but I think I am smart enough to figure out what a "recitation" and a "dramatic interpretation" are. And why they are different. OK, maybe it would be tough for others but I was in the drama club from 2nd grade to 12th grade. I know the difference.

They handed out the new rubrics. no chages worth noting from last years.

They showed examples of what the different types are: demonstration, illustrated talk, speech, recitation and dramatic interpretation. but the one thing that I would have liked from it all they didn't do... give us an opportunity to actually practice judging them.

But I went and did the training. I have signed up to judge on Saturday Feb 3rd and told them if they need help for the Monday the 5th I could probably do it too. I want the 4-H kids to see that people between the ages of 20 and 60 can participate in the program. The only judge there in my age range was Mark Wittenburg who was a contemporary of mine when I was a 4-H kid. He and I would compete against each other every year to see who had the most entries at the county fair. He always won but that's only because he was a farm kid and could raise animals. I was a city kid and didn't have that option (not that my allergies would have let me) But I tangent... all the other judges are my mom's age.

It's no wonder the program is having problems with activity levels and stuff so low. When there's no one there to promote it. Of course loss of lots of county funding zapps stuff too.

But that's a rant for another day.

I'm now home and fed. gonna feed the critters and then become unconscious.

written for prompt_a_day prompt: "How often does that ha

You asked...

How often do I find myself thinking of you? The way your hands feel on my body, the look of longing in your eyes, the smell of your skin, the taste of your lips?

How many times do I turn around because I swear I've just heard your voice?

How often do I look for your face amdist the crowds I pass every day?

How often does that happen?

The answer is simply one word...

Always
