Really quick. Super short. Devoid of any “life lesson”.
Just perfect for your attention span.
During my post-run, chocolate high, I just COULD NOT focus on writing. So I went to “my head” for some inspiration.
Observations:
*If you’ll notice, it took him 20 minutes to respond. During that time, I knocked my Bible reading out of the way. In my heart of hearts, I knew that’s what I would do anyway. Time with God > blog.
*My husband’s mind is a truly fascinating thing. For him to have said fire, means that he was subconsiously thinking about fire. And probably war. And ninjas.
*It took me 30 minutes to try to come up with a way to tie this screenshot and that fire crap into a blog post.
This is the result –
Things I associate with fire:
- Passion in life. At the gym. In my marriage. Determination.
- Forest fires are bad. Just ask Smokey the bear.
- If you play in the fire, you’ll pee in the bed.
- That horrible song that was sung by childhood bullies, “Mash potato and burn it in the fire.” <-don’t ask. Or do – it’s a stupid story.
- Birthday candles and singeing my hair.
- Light a fire under your butt, Lindsay, and clean off the dining room table. Again.
- Wasn’t there a character on Captain Planet that had something to do with fire?
Then, both kids woke up from their naps and my writing time came to an end. Reason #1,983 why I’ll never make it big in the blogging industry.
There he is.
Have a wonderful Wednesday! And don’t play with fire.
QUESTION: My turn with word association (actually, provided by Travis – I asked him again for the first word that popped into his head.) – CRACKLE. What’s the first thing that pops into your mind? Me? My husband is smoking CRACKLE.
splendid…lindsay
Rachel @ Common to Moms says:
Oh my gosh Lindsay… this is why I love your blog… so random! so hilarious! :) I think you will be surprised one day by your success in the blogging world… love it!
Sarah @ The Healthy Diva says:
Chocolate Crackles was the first thing that popped into my head. In Australia they are made with rice bubbles cereal and cocoa…pretty much a chocolate rice crispy treat, but they call them crackles here. They are not in the least bit healthy…but they taste darn good!
STUFT Mama says:
Crackle? I’m at a loss for thoughts and words. :)
Paige @ Running Around Normal says:

AikoVenus says:
Hehe, a funny list of associations with fire (er..well, forest fires aren’t very funny). ^^; For me, when I think of crackle I think – tofu rinds, Rice Krispies, Pop Rocks, fire and popping those packaging bubbles.

How did you grab that screen shot of your iPod? Envy! I have an iPhone and would love to be able to grab a shot and get it posted in my blog. Thanks!

All you do is press the home button and the on/off button at the same time! Easy peazy!
Nicole says:
crackle makes me think of rice krispies!
Cinnamon @ eatpraytri says:
I think I might have to ask my husband the same thing to see what he says!! It could be a whole new blogging thing….when you run out of inspiration, just go to the hubs and he will guide us into interesting topics.
Crackle: the plastic wrap I had to take off of the chocolates that I got yesterday. Took way to long to get to them in my opinion!!
lindsaymwright says:
I had some of those same crackly wrappers…dang things. ;)
Heather Montgomery says:

Tina @ Best Body Fitness says:
Bahahaa! I love you even more for the randomness of this post. And fire = passion is a great thing to think of. ;)
Heather Blackmon @ Better With Veggies says:
Rice Crispies is the first thing I thought of too – that is some good cereal marketing!

Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says:
I’m with @Miz – but I’ll take it another step – rice krispy treats. :)

Brigid says:
Hahaha. You’re right, this is a very strange post, but I like it! I love word associations.
