Thought this would be fun!:tounge2:

It's story writing time!! I thought we all could collaborate and make up a story. I'll start it off with one sentence and the next person adds another sentence and so on. You can only post one sentence at a time, and you have to wait until someone else posts a sentence after yours before you can post again...Let's begin

It was a hot summer's day and I had big plans for the upcoming weekend.

Great idea!! I loved doing these back in school.

I was able to get off of work early and now found myself anxiously packing my bags for the little trip I was about to be taking.

It was harder than you think, because every time I tried to put something in a suitcase, I had to move the cat out of the way first.

I had to keep double checking that I hadn't forgot anything as I packed my suitcase and that I hadn't accidently packed one of my furbabies.

When I finished, I put the suitcases by the door and petted my kitties one last time to try to calm them, but they kept pacing around as if they didn't want me to leave.

I thought this to be strange since they are usually off napping at this time but I thought nothing more of this as I put on my coat.

Just as suddenly and surprisingly, my very ladylike and dignified Miss Isabel, a sleek black beauty of a cat, screamed like a banshee and skidded to force herself between me and the door.

Shaking, but determined to find the source of the noise, I peered into the darkness long enough to catch a quick, stealthy movement at the patio door--the phone, oh Lord, where is it?

I mustered up every ounce of courage I had, and took a deep breath as I opened up the sliding door to the patio.
