Love The Wiggle Room and the laughter it inspires.<br /><br />During our years of hanging out in a fishing boat together, my dad and I would come up with ideas for restaurants. We both wanted to have a place called "Dad's Shore Lunch," inspired by our campfire lunches of walleye and potatoes out on the lakeshores of Canada. Thanks for this post, as it brought back that wonderful memory.Jennifer @ JenniferDukesLee.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934656581948719407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-34015850284591142632010-05-17T22:54:28.095-07:002010-05-17T22:54:28.095-07:00Wendy, I just gave you another blog award on my bl...Wendy, I just gave you another blog award on my blog.

Nice. Thanks for all of your support lately.<br /><br />Jessica, Hope you enjoyed being in it today. My kids incite laughter all the time.<br /><br />Kara, Oh, I love it. I'm afraid of my zoo-kini this time of year. So glad to reconnect with you!!!<br /><br />Jeanette, I actually enjoy skunkyroot. There's really very few foods I won't eat. ;) And you know we'd have a blast in that room for a year.<br /><br />Keli, Thank you for those kind words. Sometimes I think God missed a wire when He wired me. Or put one too many in. I haven't decided yet, but either way I think I'm thankful.<br /><br />Julie, Animals + clothing = laughter from my mouth. <br /><br />Georgiana, I like to throw my arms out when I dance. My dad was famous for that. Room to move and breathe. Ahh.<br /><br />Karen, Oh, man am I a work in progress! Sometimes I think editing my ms is a lot of work...I wonder what God thinks about me sometimes. Piece o work!<br /><br />T.Anne, I'm with you. It's boring not to have clothes on the floor that should have been put away weeks ago or floors you can actually walk across without tripping over a toy. Hmmm. That was a nice, but brief fantasy.<br /><br />Erica, I am so there. We went to a great burger place this weekend. Even the left-overs were good!<br /><br />Jen, Are you trying to make me drool? Add some books and I might move in.<br /><br />Sarah, Thank you. My fingers shook for hours and I called my mom four times today! ;) Congrats to you on Genesis!!!<br /><br />Jody, You are a dear friend. I've been thinking of you lots lately. <br /><br />Carla, You and me, woman in those squishy chairs drinking Grace Lattes...someone is going to have to drag me away from that!<br /><br />Cindy, I think He has more "wiggle room" when we are humble and vulnerable before Him--to mold us into His image...and really there is no greater thing! Loving you.<br /><br />Lily, I'm going to have to check it out. I've had a zoo-kini day according to Kara's daughter.<br /><br />Karen, I'm blown away at how connected I can feel with other writers online through blogs. Blown away.<br /><br />quietspirit, I hope you are feeling better. There's a place called Eatin' Park in PA near where we go see my husband's grandma.<br /><br />A.L. Ha! That is awesome. Kids are so not afraid to say anything. And I'm with you about the perfectionist deal. <br /><br />People, thanks for the encouragement and kindness about the Novel Matters, Audience-With-An-Agent contest. I can't tell you how much I enjoy that blog. As a writer, I really appreciate how the ladies there address topics with such thought. I'm honored and moved beyond words to have made the finals.<br /><br />Cool side, my neighbor (from when I lived in Ohio) and friend, Nicole Amsler made it too. Now, there is some small world stuff for you.<br /><br />I'm enriched by your comments. <br /><br />Oh, and for those of you who might remember what I wrote shortly after my father's passing about walking ahead until I reach a clearing...today the clouds parted and I celebrated with God big time.<br /><br />Night.<br />Love,<br />WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-74297750432163526462010-05-17T16:04:38.179-07:002010-05-17T16:04:38.179-07:00I am so far below perfect that I wouldn't stan...I am so far below perfect that I wouldn't stand a chance as a perfectionist. I'd be the most depressed person around!<br /><br />Ahem, but back to the question. What is one thing that made me laugh recently? <br /><br />We were driving through downtown Portland, OR, which is a much more diverse city than our small town in eastern Washington. Outside the window, I saw a lady wearing a Muslim burqa. My six-year-old son must've spotted her, too, because he yelled out: "Mommy, I just saw a lady dressed as a ninja!" <br /><br />AmyA.L.

They showed us this hilarious Xerox training video about the idea of information overload and how it affects the workplace, and of course the extension of how it affects our interactions with each other and with God.

It's something God works on in me all the time--and still there are moments when I don't cooperate. I've learned, however, that making myself vulnerable to Him is a great start.

Y...Congrats again on your finaling in the contest!<br /><br />You post is so much fun and a much needed exercise for me. I've been learning how to let go of perfection and strive for excellence instead. I still find I need wiggle room!!<br /><br />When I step inside the Wigglemaster's Wonderful Emporium I'm amazed at how large it is, yet saddly how few people are there. How I got there I do not know. They give me some special clothes to wear and I marvel at how the beautiful, colorful outfit fits perfectly. I don't know that I'd ever where it out in public, but it is just what I would have picked! I got to the counter and they serve me a Grace Latte in a tippy cup. I sit down on a soft and comfy seat, it is squishy and a molds to my form. I can lay down and relax and it molds to every contour. When I wander around I realize that everything is flexible - the floor, the walls, the tables, the people. People come up to greet me without hesitation, without reservation, and I don't try to impress. People bump into each other and laugh, when they fall down on the floor they bounce back up affected and laugh at their selves. There is a stage and people are getting out things to read and recite. It's the their writing that they are sharing with others. Everyone applauds, no one judges! After I've had my turn I'm invited to another soft round table with more squishy chairs and drink more tippy cups of Grace Latte and listen with eagerness to the amazing insights on my writing.Instead of wiggling in discomfort, I'm wiggling with glee, eager to learn more and not disheartened at all. In this place there is always room for improvement and I am happy for it!Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-45733197071919566362010-05-17T10:54:56.541-07:002010-05-17T10:54:56.541-07:00Echoing Sarah's congrats!!
