It's probably a good thing that I use profanity very sparingly. I wouldn't like having to write about that. During the course of the writing challenge, I've written a little about things that I say. Some of those things are kind of...interesting, to say the least---like the words or phrases I've made up. Those do get a fair amount of use, but not so much that everyone knows what I'm going to say.
So let me quit stalling and get to this before your coffee gets cold and your eyes glaze over. After some thought and a dinner of leftover Thanksgiving food and a trip to Lowe's with the Mrs. to look for a new microwave oven, I've made my choice.
I'm always saying "hopefully." Is that such a bad thing? Yes and no. On the yes side, saying "hopefully" doesn't give your listeners an air of confidence. You're always hoping that something will happen, but not necessarily taking the steps and/or action to make it happen. In short, it can sound a little wishy washy.
On the no side, there are times when all you can do is hope. If the good happens, great. If not, then it wasn't your time. Plain and simple.
Hopefully you understand what I mean.
Coming up next time will be a memory from 1980. Stay in the room.
