Condimentally speaking
For two full days I have been submerged in mustard.
Allow me to explain.
I am entering the National Mustard Museum Seeds of Passion writing contest. The grand prize is no small amount. Therefore, I have spent the last 48 hours laboring over a tongue-in-cheek second chapter and synopsis for a romance novel centering around the Mustard Museum and it's new chef-in-residence, Isabella Martinique.
I have eaten mustard smeared hot dogs. I have contemplated exotic mustard concoctions and mustard recipes. I have sat on my butt reading and re-reading my chapter.
I am mustarded out.
My only consolation is, should I win, I love the idea of touting myself as the "Seeds of Passion" Mustard Museum writing contest winner.
On a side note: A friend of mine wrote about a list of things she wants to do before she dies. Honestly, I don't know what my whole list would include. But I can say this: I want to be able to pay all my bills on time at some point before I die.
And maybe visit the Mustard Museum in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin to receive a $5,000 check.

I don't know if that is a complete list.. I just want to know that if I didn't get to complete the list that I am loved enough that someone would want to do it for me..
It is really really important for me to matter in someone's life..
Cas,
I had seen the Mustard contest last year or the year before but at the time it was a mystery, not a romance so maybe they change genres every year or something - who knows - lol - good luck - E :)
well hot dog
This may be considered slacking, since you're supposed to be writing the great American novel...
And I hope you didn't write about that weekend when we were accidentally locked in the mission food pantry with a certain NFL player who was also performing community service and we had only mustard a man with very little body fat to amuse ourselves...
We promised never to speak of it...
