I’m a bit rusty.

That’s okay. It’s just like riding a bike. You’ll get it back in no time.

I sure hope so. I need this in a bad way.

I’ll take it slow. This won’t hurt.

I used to be really good you know.

I’ll bet you were. Here’s the on switch.

Just a bit of fun for trifecta this week. This is one week I am POSITIVE I won’t place . . . as I am one of the three guest judges. But, it was too fun to pass up.

My sistah-judges this week are Deana and Lessa. Do give them a lil love, too. And, then, go on over to trifecta and give us 33-333 words on RUSTY.

    This is a fun little piece! That phrase is so handy too! I just got a new bike, and I kept saying it to myself as I emulated what must have looked like an ostrich trying to take flight…;)

    A VERY little bit of love for judges…! You never know what your sentence will be! Nice piece taking me back to the daunting first post..

    Haha. The first blog post is absolutely terrifying! (It was for me, anyway.)

    Rusty is how my body feels after days of raking leaves and creating a walking path through our forested yard. I dropped a pencil on the floor this morning. Maybe tomorrow, I can pick it up 🙂

    I love the clever, circular motion. And yes, that first blog post, the first month of blog posts… yikes! Good for you for volunteering to judge.. it seems so daunting.

    I love it! I took some time off and now I feel a little rusty myself! Very good!

  16. Maggie Grace says:

    Yep, it’s nerve wracking putting up a blog, especially that first post! Nicely written!

  17. Tina says:

    What a fun piece! Just because you’re rusty doesn’t mean you can’t, just that you may need a push.

  18. Haha. Wish I were a judge so I could use this definition of “rusty”! lol
    Bikes or blogs, almost everything in life is like that. Love it, Barbara!
    (and you go, girl! with the judging)
