Life in the Fast Lane...

If you have ever watched

The Real Housewives of Atlanta,

then you know Kim Zolciak

and her famous song

"Don't Be Tardy for the Party".

Yeah...

it's like Masterpiece Theatre...

only different.

Real different.

Anyway, I wanted to celebrate the fact

that I am NOT tardy to the party

this week!

Oooo, Oooo!

If you have seen

Real Housewives of Atlanta,

you might be surprised,

like I was,

to find out there are actually

lyrics to the song!

Who'd a thunk?

I figured all that lip syncing and editing

was just a bunch of sounds put together,

but NO!

There are lyrics!

Kim Zolciak can't sing,

but there are lyrics!

Look...

Don't be tardy for the party. Don't be tardy for the party.
Don't be tardy for the party. Don't be tardy for the party.
Hurry up baby don't be late. I'll meet you at the place.
I've been waiting for this day. This weekend let's celebrate.
Lookin' like a covergirl. Covered in diamonds and pearls.
Take the Benz out for a swirl. Drop that top yeah it's my world.
Forget about work and the stress of the week.
Party all night and we won't go to sleep.
We own the club oh yeah we own the life and I am not leaving 'till I see daylight.
Don't be tardy for the party. Oooo, ooooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Oooooo, Ooooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Oooo, oooo. Don't be tardy for the party.
I'll be feelin' good by nine. After my third glass of wine.
On the dance floor lookin' fine. All the boys tryin' to get in line.
Headed back to VIP. So tight that I can't breathe.
I look good in this heat. Sweat drippin' all over me.
Forget about work and the stress of the week.
Party all night and we won't go to sleep.
We own the club oh yeah we own the life and I am not leaving 'till I see daylight.
Don't be tardy for the party. Oooo, ooooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Oooooo, Ooooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Oooo, oooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Ooooo, ooooo.

Don't be tardy, tardy, tardy.

Celebrate…let's celebrate. Don't be tardy, tardy, tardy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's my world. Don't be tardy, tardy, tardy. Ooooo, oooo.

Don't be tardy, tardy, tardy. Let's celebrate.
Forget about work and the stress of the week.
Party all night and we won't go to sleep.
We own the club oh yeah we own the life and I am not leaving 'till I see daylight.
Don't be tardy for the party. Oooo, ooooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Oooooo, Ooooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Oooo, oooo.

Don't be tardy for the party. Ooooo, ooooo.

Impressed, aren't you?

Me too.

So did you get the point?

I'm NOT tardy!

Woo Hoo!

What is Saturday Centus?

It is a themed writing meme.

Each Saturday, Ms. Matlock will give

a writing prompt.

Your assignment...

if you choose to accept it...

is to write a 100 word story.

Yes, 100 words or less...

not including the "prompt words".

Oh, and the prompt words can

be used anywhere in your story!

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

The writing prompt is good for the entire week,

so you can join in at any time!

THIS WEEK'S PROMPT:

Objects in the rear view mirror are

closer than they appear.

So here is my contribution

to Saturday Centus...

_________________________________________________________

Fence posts were my companions on this journey. Cows were my tour guides.

Life in the fast lane in the Texas Panhandle.

I had to get there quicker than the others. I needed to prove myself.

Wow, there goes another cow!

What was that? Imagine that rusty old pickup going by faster than me!

Farmhouse. Barn. Wagon. Horse. Farmer. Object after object passing in front of my eyes.

In hindsight, maybe I was a little too eager. But there aren’t many women who are storm chasers.

It was my first tornado. I didn’t know that objects in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear.

Who said pigs can't fly?
