The Monday Melee

I can't miss the Monday Melee, no matter how much I intended not to blog this week. It goes like this:

I know I've been away the last couple of days, but there's a story...

1. The Misanthropic: Name something you absolutely hate.
Once upon a time, Blogger Vic was extremely tired of working hard, questioning her financial direction and still fuming about the fact that a government department [whom Vic owed money to, admittedly, but that was a technicality] decided to liberate her tax refund almost entirely without notifying her that they were going to do so...

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.
... which left Blogger Vic needing some down time. What does she do? Tells all the students that she has last minute Veggie shop work for a special event and disappears for an early-mark on the weekend to an entirely different location...

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
...This Blogger Vic, she drove a long way... And she has one regret: that she cannot drive that way every day. Not necessarily to the same location, but experience the drive. She recalls Terroni once said "I drove into perspective." and she wishes for this truism to occur on a more regular basis...

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit and name it if you can.
...Blogger Vic, after landing on the kindness, love and hospitality of others for two blissful nights, moved on and met up with the Brass Band for the State Championships graded competition. This band is a community band and Blogger Vic feels proud to be part of the extended family that is developing more and more within it...

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.
...and she knows the effort of preparing for these performances has raised her level of her playing considerably.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.
Blogger Vic wishes for this story not to be crap, but knows that yes, indeed. This sory is crap. Spewed from an tired exhausted mind, but no excuses!
