========================================== return to TOC for issue: Fall '08
I built sandcastles in the air. I made mountains out of molehills. I put the cart in front of
the horse. I was ashamed. I put my eggs in one bassinet. I let the cat out of the bag. I bit
the hand that fed me and then I bit my tongue. I was out of the frying pan and into the
pyre. I pulled your leg. I wore my heart on my slip. I found my feet. I burned the candle
at both ends. I was honest that time. I was the orange of your eye. I rolled out the red
carpet. I barked up the wrong bottle. I judged a book by its cover. I burnt my bridges. I
had a chip on my elbow. I wasn’t sure what to do. I called the kettle purple. I cut off my
nose to spite my mother. I aired my dirty laundry. I was dead in the water. I held my
breath. I had a bad taste in my mouth. I was a babe in the hood. I made ends meet. I
tied the knot. I took one for the team. I got the ball rolling. I was often alone. I was a
glutton for punishment. I got on my soap dispenser. I often thought about you. I
grabbed the bull by the balls. I was the oldest trick in the book. I was quick on the
trigger. I was high as a kite. I was hung out to flap. I played second fiddle. I pushed the
envelope. I pulled my punches. I faced the music. I ate a Buddy’s Burritos Nacho
Special and then I was where the rubber met the roadie.
