Today's 3,000 words also put me over the 21,000 word mark for my 30,000 words in February challenge. If you do the math, you'll see I've fallen a bit behind...which explains the 3,000 words today. I get a little obsessive about challenges, too. Once I commit, I can't stand coming up short.
I'm telling you all this as my excuse for not having any bright ideas for my blog post today. I was hoping for a little flash of brilliance but it's just not happening. So I'll let you have a flash of brilliance instead. I offer these four brainteasers. Put on your thinking caps and see if you can figure them out.
1.
2.
3.
4.
I'll give you the answers in Friday's post. (How's that for trying to get you to come back.)
I do want to take a moment and thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes for the young friend I posted about on Monday. She's still holding on but it's day to day so, if you would, please keep her in your prayers.
My current word count: 21,327

Groaner of the day: I don't want to overtax anyone's brains today, so here's a short one... What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing - but it let out a little whine.

pour the second glass of orange juice into the second empty glass and voila...
These are too hard for my simian brain.
On #2: Wait a minute. Did someone forget the vodka? Otherwise, what's the point of all that orange juice?
Ref: #4
This is the only one I could figure.
My guess is the man went to sleep, thereby no longer haunted by the voices in his head. He had effectively killed them. --at least that's what I told the police. :)
#1 - No clue. Maybe someone put one back?
#2 - What Dru said.
#3 - There was only one man in the room (he was all those things playing solataire).
#4 - He was a lighthouse keeper and turned out the lighthouse.
Sure wish I could figure out #1! I got the others all by myself (hopefully I wasn't wrong!!)
Oh - I also want to say "YOU CAN DO IT" regarding your word count. I have faith!
Dru - Well, I said I wouldn't revealed the answers until Friday but...
Maria - You sure you haven't been nipping that vodka?
Stacy - Thanks for the boost. But you'll have to wait till Friday for the answers.
Hmmmm - I'll concede #2 to Dru.
#1 Someone took the basket with one egg in it?
#3 All the others were women?
#4 Lighthouse keeper so when he put out the light - well there were consequences. Hmmmmm I feel a plot coming on.
Still praying, Linda.
Be good to yourself on the "writing to the end" thing. We all go at different paces. I generally don't proceed to a new chapter until I feel the one before is sturdy.
Mary C - You got it! See my Friday blog. And thank you for the prayers (update on that on the Friday post, too).
Robert - Wow, someone who doesn't say I need to keep moving forward all the way before looking back. A soul mate!!!
