What makes a good leader?
You could also choose stainless steel. Plastic is obviously a no-no. My liter of choice is glass.
Yes, I know I have played with words. Blahganuary continues.

Snow Removal
Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
First of all, we need to start with the snow. Declutter it in its entirety.
Blahganuary No More
Come up with a crazy business idea.
Imagine this
Not a harebrained scheme
Only a flip of the wrist
As we turn the page
In half of a month
We will say goodbye
To all of these prompts
That make me want to poke myself in the eye
Wait. It’s Not Collages?
What colleges have you attended?
I’ve made hundreds of collages. It’s a fun hobby. I would recommend it to everyone. And you should do it the old-school way: posterboard, cut-outs from magazines, glue…
Oh. The word is colleges not collages. Huh.
Nevermind.
Every Day is Play Day
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
This prompt question has recently been asked, and you can read my piece on that here.
There was a similar prompt question, which asked how you remain a kid at heart. Read my piece on that here.
I guess it’s pretty obvious from the previous prompts I’ve answered, the fact that Hello Kitty is found throughout my house, and that there was a red nose on my car for Rudolph season, that I am thoroughly invested in play every day.
The key to staying young in mind and heart (and hopefully somewhat in body), is to find the moments of play. And if you can’t find them, create them. Opportunities are all around if you just look.
Below you’ll see photographic evidence of play in every day situations.
What does play look like in your life? Do you make time to play? Do you make the effort to look around you and see the opportunities? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!

They Haven’t
How have your political views changed over time?
Politics being one of the three things we should never discuss, I am abstaining from today’s daily prompt. I have a pumpkin pie to bake. Oh no! I shouldn’t have mentioned the pumpkin. Forget I said anything.
Hard Pass
Share what you know about the year you were born.
Sometimes the daily prompt is too personal, and this is one of those days. I submit to you this meme in hopes that you have a wonderful Day Before Christmas Eve.
Happy Holidays
List your top 5 grocery store items.
5 golden rings (is that my phone or yours?)
4 calling birds (it *was* my phone! Why are birds calling me at the grocery store?)
3 French hens (fancy birds, oui?)
2 turtle doves (look, I have enough game in my grocery cart already, I don’t need any turtle doves, whatever they are.)
A partridge in a pear tree (I already have 9 birds in this cart! And how am I going to fit an entire pear tree in here?!)
——————
$14,587.42 (and my cart has directionally challenged wheels)
She Probably Has Your Cat
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
The odds are that I do. The Cat Distribution System seems stuck to me like cat hair. I’ve tried turning it off and on a couple of times, but still the cats arrive. Until they fix the system, if you have misplaced your cat, I probably have it.
I See What You Did There
What’s your favorite cartoon?
Look at daily prompt with the perfect Saturday/Caturday morning question.
My favorite cartoon is not a moving cartoon but a cartoon figure.
It all started when my father brought me home a pencil case with her image on it. He had been traveling again, and found this on his travels. I must’ve been four years old, at a time when the brain is impressionable. We also had cats, so it seems like it was a foregone conclusion that this character would become my favorite, and it extends to present day.
Once, I had a cat named Kitty. During the time of her years in my home, there was a TV commercial that repeatedly stated, “Hello Kitty!” It was a rather annoying commercial, actually. But the cat kept hearing her name and turned her head toward the humans in the home as if to say, “What?! I’m right here! Stop this thing saying hello to me.” She was so annoyed. And it was amusing.
If you haven’t guessed by now, my favorite cartoon is Hello Kitty. For many years, I didn’t know Hello Kitty has a twin sister, nor a pet cat (?!?!). She also has a boyfriend named Dear Daniel, but he’s kind of sketchy. He has that tomcat vibe. You know the type: they only come around when they want to see you. They don’t call, they don’t text, they’re just out here on the streets looking cute talking to all the girls. He has that stray cat strut. Mmm, hmm.
I am an adult. And I am not ashamed to say Hello Kitty can be found throughout my home. She’s in my car, hanging from my rearview mirror. She’s on my floor mats. I have several items of clothing with her face on them. I contemplated a tattoo, but never followed through with it. At least not yet.
Chococat, another Sanrio cat, gets a shout out today because he is a friend of Hello Kitty, it’s Caturday, and he’s cute.
Happy Cartoon Caturday!
