My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

Journal Spank: The Worst Vacation Ever

I thought, in the Summer of the Staycation, that this would be an excellent treat for your journal. Here’s what you’ll do:
--describe The Worst Vacation ever—it can be either one that you actually experienced or, if you don’t want to go there, one that you imagine, for you, would be Sheer Hell.
And! Here’s the test:
--make it funny. You’ve got to find the humor in this. Because you know this is true:  the worse things are (barring death and destruction), the funnier they are in retrospect.  Sure, sometimes that needs to be a long, LONG period for retrospection, but still:  spending two weeks in a leaky, rat-infested cabin in the Rockies may totally suck while you’re there fighting the four-legged vermin over the peanut butter crackers, but, oh! think of the fun you can have in the re-telling of it, describing those dripping yellow fangs and the teeth marks on your tennis shoes.
--if you have photos, great!  If you don’t, you can draw Scenes from The Vacation from Hell, or you can find pictures from magazines (go to your local library and look through the old, donated magazines like National Geographic)  or make a collage.
Then tell us about it—we’d love to hear  about your Worst Ever Summer Vacation~~it will make us all feel better about having to stay home~~

Unfortunately is is all true, & took place in a location in the South Island of New Zealand.
We did & do laugh about it.
