Cool list this week. What kind of car are you going to buy? New or used?
I'm all over that hairstyle thing! :) And what a great title at number 1.
Yah, a girl after my own heart. Today's the day. I had a chance to rent the ranch last week but I wouldn't even consider it. It would be trouble. (would involve a contract) Today is also Moon in Leo. Hair cutting time. I always trim my hair when Moon is in Leo.

Ooh! I'll take number 7...in silver please!
I do not think I could handle that giant chicken! Funny read though. Thank you for posting
Hooray,it's over! I knew I felt somehow relieved.
Going to read chicken now.
Well, Of course I had the read chicken story. Thanks for making me laugh! that story is hysterical!
Isis - I hope I'm not buying any car, as we have two and I hate car shopping. But for those who need a car, now's the time.
Talli - Make a hair appointment :)
Manzanita - My hair grows fast, so it gets cut no matter where the moon is.
Linda - And sporty!
Summer - I'm very much a giant chicken person, for whatever that's worth.
LR - Hope you laughed at the chicken.
Colette - I agree!
Loved the chicken story. Thanks so much for the link and introducing me to another terrific writer.
My grandmother is a rooster person and the more eccentric the better LOL
It's back to school time, so I've already done the shopping and thumbed my nose at Mercury. However, a new (used) car is being considered. And thanks for the link - Giant Chicken stories are always appreciated!
Can I just get giant chicken breasts?
Ha! Loved that picture of the giant chicken at the door!!
Great list. Now I'm off to learn more about this 'giant chicken.' Have a great weekend.

Y'all aren't going to believe what I just did. I answered all your comments then closed the form and they all went away. Gone. My blonde roots are showing.
I'll try to repeat my "witty words" below.
Maryann - You're welcome. See how witty that is - LOL!
Summer - Good for her! For the record, I have no giant chickens. However, I may or may not have participated in a similar escapade. Perhaps more than once. Just saying.
Elspeth - Good luck with the car. One day giant chickens will be all the rage :)
Alex - OK, I've picked myself off the floor. Short answer: No! But now I'm giggling again.
Elizabeth - Me, too!
Mason - Now we know why they play "The Chicken Dance" at weddings :)
I cracked up at the chicken story LOL. Thanks for sharing it. :)
Happy weekend!
I KNEW there was a reason I was hesitant to start writing this week. Yay! Bye Merc Ret, hello new story. Thank you for the reminder, Carol. I feel a little freer today :)

I need a new car! I should show my husband your list.
Yes! The retrograde is over! And I need a big metal chicken. Now.
We are car shopping too. Looks like Monday we'll be making a trip to the dealer. I'm trading in my van for a car-car.
Donna
I read the story and my favorite line is "That chicken has a shiv." Next, I will try a new restaurant, but I will stay away from the chicken! Julie
I feakin' LOVE that chicken!!!!! Where can I get one? I need help anyway - it's 7am and I was confused about why so many people had already commented...then I realized I'm a day late...
COFFEE!
Ooo, a new hairstyle? I'm with you on 8, 5, and 4. Fun stuff. Good luck starting a new job!
We've been thinking about trading in our car, didn't know weather had anything to do with it though. :0) Our garden, berries and grapes are finally fizzling out, too, so now I have no excuse to do much needed and neglected housework.
Still laughing! Thanks for that.
:)
Tami
Did you guys think I vanished? You can't get rid of me that easily! Life intervened for a little bit yesterday, but all is well :)
Julie - I read that story at night and laughed so hard I almost woke up Live In Handyman. I'm glad you liked it, too.
Rochelle - I feel much freer, too!
Clarissa - Do it!
Julie - I want one, too! Live-In Handyman will get over it one day :)
Donna - Yea! Enjoy your car-car :)
Empty Next - I'm laughing all over again and getting strange looks from the dogs.
Laura - LOL! I have days like that. I haven't done a search, but I'd try Garden Ridge or a nursery. Plant nursery, not chicken nursery :)
Theresa - It's a good time to begin things and sign contracts.
Janet - Now's the time!
Tami - Oops, we crossed. Glad you enjoyed :)
Yes! Thank heavens for mercury retrograde ending!! Though it retrogrades so often, if we always paid attention we would never move forward at all! Love your list, I am so eager to start writing my next book...And now I must check out this chicken book!
Oh! I see - I just went to the link and I had read that post by the Bloggess - it was hilarious! I love the picture of the giant chicken at the front door. I think the point I'll take away is that it is time to do something that is just plain mad! And silly. And pointless. Like buying a giant chicken.
Melissa - Cluck-cluck...Yes!
Great list! I need a new car. My mini-van still smells like my 14-year-old's football cleats from last season. :( My husband tells me I'm nuts though. LOL
Ciara - Yuk! Febreze :)
