Seven Impossible things before breakfast.

I'm not going to kid myself as to the cleverness of my title-- I'm sure, since the film  industry created a fad out of  Alice and Wonderland ,  the sentence fragament " seven impossible things before breakfast" has become horribly cliche. But Cliche is cliche for a very good reason-- because it has expressed exactly what we want to say in the best possible way!  And isn't it the goal of almost every writer, to become the originator of " cliche"? Let's face it-- if your own words are not being overused by other people, it's a clear sign that your words are, well, boring.

But I'd thought I'd give the phrase a whirl and share my seven impossible things before breakfast:


1) Get up. ( always impossible for a night a owl)

2)  Retain hair while washing. ( a gruesome, embarrassing task as in my old age, I seem to becoming more like my father, and less like my mother in that respect).

 3) Keep Willard, the carnival won goldfish, alive without a filter. ( it's probably inhuman and he probably has Ich by now, but filter's are so....EXPENSIVE...and he seems...happy...for a fish)

4). Transpose music for the irascible  church choir without cursing. ( I'm doing God's work, but I'd wish He'd do it Himself sometimes....)

5). Make it through the first half of the morning without coffee.

6). Think of a witty, but endearing and exciting  love note for my fiance's lunch. ( always a pleasure!)

7). Find a job.

And those are the impossible folks. Tune in next time for Seven Insurmountable adventures after tea.
