ReplyDeleteA day in numbers. I wonder what "9 ... number of shits spoken" entails.
ReplyDeleteI love this format and will have to use it in the future. It, too, left me with so many wonderings and so many smiles!
ReplyDeleteTracy--I also plan on stealing this idea. (At first glance, I thought you wrote "9 $hits taken" instead of "spoken" and I worried about you. On second thought, I WAS worried about you. That's far too few colorful utterances in one day... )
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific idea for a slice format! Definitely borrowing this at some point.
