Samantha

I don't know if I'll ever manage to do this exercise on a Saturday, but here's my offering for Raven's Saturday Wordzzle.


words: Green goddess, shampoo, filibuster, please and thank you, Operation Marigold, throw pillows, up the creek without a paddle, spandex, ubiquitous, wedding ring


Samantha just knew that her husband would be up the creek without a paddle if he didn't figure out a way to prevent the filibuster his coworkers were planning for Operation Marigold. She sat, anxiously twisting her wedding ring around and around her tiny finger, wondering how she could help. But the fresh scent of the Green Goddess herb salsa she made for her lunch was distracting her so much that soon she was happily munching and consumed with trying to remember where she had last put her ubiquitous spandex to wear under her dress for the event. "Ah well, it's a little late for that now," she thought to herself. With a quick fluff of the throw pillows, she got up to shower and shampoo her hair, and get ready for tonight. She'd have to look her best tonight for the founders' dinner, and always say please and thank you, even if she despised every last one of them.

i always find these so hard to do. when i was in school in mexico we had to do one in spanish and it took me like four days, haha.

it might take me four years to do that in spanish. but then again, i really don't know much more than 'please peel the onions'. i can write random stuff, but to make it a short paragraph is the hard part.

I liked your story, especially the ending.
