Kind of tired and out of sorts today. I decided to visit home for a long weekend to hang out with mom.

Spent a long time trying to decide on a writing prompt and ended up being inspired by "Mady's Recipe of Me" from the blog Take My Word For It! Food Writing For Kids.

Here's Mady's poem.

Mady’s Recipe of Me

            1 piece of rock salt which means your life is full of flavor

            3 dill pickles which mean everything to me

            1 oxilion olive which I love

            Cheese!!!!!

            15 lemons

            75 cups of Judaism

            100 lbs of little

            2,000,000,000,000,000 cups of happiness

Here's my own poem, inspired by Mady:

Samantha's Recipe of Me

- 1 teaspoon loud laugh my mother told me I'd get stuck with if I kept making fun of people who laughed like that
- 1 cup she was right
- 2 cups inappropriate public and semi-secret eating
- 1 tablespoon bad temper
- 1 teaspoon oh my god there's a stinkbug crawling down my blinds right now I thought the cold killed them all??? I'm too "busy" to remove him
- 2 cups inconvenient bladder
- 3 cups sorry,  I was watching that bug climb up a string
- a dash of I don't know how to braid
- 1 teaspoon you better not be in my box of records, bug
- 1 cup I just found my old Jay Reatard shirt I was wondering where that went!
- 1 cup I won't let myself pee until I finish this post

Okay, I have to pee now.
