Anyway, here's my "100 Words":

Elizabeth had been looking forward to the ball since she received the invitation.  Wanting to shine and sparkle beyond the other young ladies in attendance, she had had her dressmaker add sequins and Swarovski crystals to the original design.  The brother of Elizabeth's rival asked her to dance, and, not wanting to be rude, she accepted.  The cad stepped on her gown, loosening a key thread holding the baubles on, and they scattered across most of the room.  The duke came off the dais, handed Elizabeth a small stoppered vial, and they picked up the shiny pieces of decoration together.

I stumbled bleary eyed into the kitchen at the end of a very long day.  I had planted hundreds of vegetables and fruits and now I wanted to curl up on the couch with a nice cup of tea.  While yawning and rubbing my eyes, my feet hit a pan that was on the porch earlier in the day.  What in the world?  My fully open eyes beheld utter chaos.  When had the tornado come through and why did I not find out until now?  The tea leaves told the story:  keep the catnip tea in the freezer!
