Hello? Hello? Anybody out there? (Besides Tina, I mean. Tina's great and everything, but we're brainstorming here, folks.) Hello? This is not a lecture. If you need to know the difference between brainstorming and a lecture, you can ask my boys. They've heard lots and lots of lectures. But I digress. Since you are too shy to comment with your ideas, could you perhaps vote on some of mine? Here's what I thought of tonight. (Please keep in mind that I stayed up too late last night, got up too early this morning, drove two hours to a funeral, visited withtoo many people, drove two hours home again, and then attended a book signing in a very warm library, so the creativity is down just a tad.)
1. The Queen Bee (personal favorite, dripping with sarcasm)
2. I Didn't Marry a Farmer (there's a story here that I would post if we go with the title!)
3. A Little Piece of Quiet (plagiarized somewhat from a book given to me by my dear mother)
4. The Toilet Seat Stays Up (a husband and three boys - think about it)
5. Maid's Day Off (again with the sarcasm)
6. Scratchings in the Dirt
7. ?
That's it, guys. I'm empty. Your turn!

I like "The toilet seat stays up". My new contribution is "Little Farm on the Prairie". It's late and I'm tired. I'm still pondering this one. :)
Was just reading back through the blog. How about "From Trains to Grains".
Here's another one. Rob and I are on a roll now. "Trains, grains and Combines". (I still like From Trains to Grains, that one was all mine).
How about...
"Prairie farming: The good, the bad and the ugly"
or...
"What my mother didn't tell me about marrying a farmer"
LOL...cheers carl
Thanks, Tina. Those are great. I take it you guys are a little entertainment-starved up there, eh? ;)
My vote is for "Scratchings in the Dirt" for no reason in particular other than it seems clever and that "Dirt" provides in more ways than one!!
Mom
I like "The Toilet Seat Stays Up" and "Scratchings in the Dirt" the best out of the choices so far.
Can't wait to see what you choose!
I as well like "The Toilet Seat stays up" however I think one of your previous posts: Combines, knees and UFO's is a great one too.
Good Luck
velvis
p.s. whatever you choose I will still check daily for updates
I've been trying to think of a good one, but some of the ones offered are really good already!
I like "From Trains to Grains" and I also like "Scratchings in the Dirt"
Let me sleep on it - all my ideas tonight are lame :)
Oh, okay, wait - I'm back. These aren't good, but I'm always thinking in song lyrics, so what
about something along the lines of "Where The Boys Are" (Connie Francis) or "A Bushel and A Peck" (from the Broadway score of "Guys and Dolls" . . . "I love you, a bushel and a peck . . .")
Too obscure? Probably. I'm fading fast :)
Ooh, "Where the Boys Are"! Clever! Thanks, Aimee. I really like "From Trains to Grains" too. I can't wait to see what I choose, either!
Mom, the shape the house is in this week, I could be talking about scratching the dirt INSIDE. In fact, I came home the other night and "someone" (likely the same someone who pees all over the toilet...and tub...and floor...but I have no proof) wrote "please clean me" in the drywall dust ON THE STOVE!
Maybe that should be that new name... "Please Clean Me"
I replied to a previous post, and you can look in the comments for my suggestions.
My two favorites are: "The West Central Beat" and "The Oakdale Blues".
