Life is Stranger than Fiction
My friend, Juniper, got two speeding tickets in one day. One of them got thrown out on a technicality. Her vanity license plate said SACRED, but the cop wrote SCARED on the ticket.
I once left my journal in an Applebee’s restaurant after having lunch there. When I went back an hour or so later to look for it, I discovered that it was being used as a shim to balance a wobbly table.
I had an aunt named Alice Gertrude who went by the name “Gertie” and another aunt named Gertrude Alice who everyone called “Alice.”
Add one of your own…

My mother-in-law’s name was Marie Elizabeth and everyone called her Betty; her sister was Elizabeth Marie and everyone called her……..yup–Marie!! A big family and apparently, they ran out of names or names they liked!!
I enjoy your journal!!

When we came to visit you last year I thought it was odd that we drove on the parkway but parked in your driveway.

Hmmm, having trouble coming up with anything really good, though my dad did go to school with a guy named “Charlie Brown.” 🙂
I’m here via Michele!

Hiya, Michele sent me…
…now you’ve got me thinking…I once got really into telling my friend about a book I was reading by Margaret Atwood, when I got home I realised the book I was reading was by Margaret Astbury! I’ve now read many Margaret Atwood books and she’s made it to my favourite authors list so hopefully I won’t be making that mistake again!
