Microfiction Monday



Susan at Stony River Farm hosts Microfiction Monday. She posts a picture and you compose a story in 140 characters. You can click on her name to get further instructions. To help you along she has posted a wonderful link that counts your characters for you! How great is that! You can get the counter at Design 215.

Here's this week's picture, followed by my story to go with it:




I don't know about this Roman costume party, George thinks my hairdo looks
like pigs in a blanket, what do you think?

He's right, oink, oink!


For those of you who don't know what "pigs in a blanket" are, they are small sausage rolls wrapped in dough and baked.

    my take : 3 less characters

    "I am just glad the mirrors are small and show just the faces.
    They've completely messed up the wearing of the sarees. Unisex sarees ?"

    Do you think I'm beautiful, plain, or just vain?
    I worry too much about how I look and am never satisfied.

    Sorry, you are vain and plain.

    I love it, and I love pigs in a basket too. Don't think that I will ever eat them again without thinking about this picture and your story!

    Great offering! Very funny.
    (Pigs in blankets for us are chipolatas wrapped in bacon and then roasted, grilled or fried - a traditional accompaniment to the Christmas turkey)

    Women and their hair! Mine is too baby fine to even worry about styling. :)

    Love the way everyone sees this differently!
