Word Verification Wednesday!!!

Yesterday, I had made a loaf of bread in our new bread machine.

MMMMMMM

It smelled SO good!

I was trying to get the loaf out of the pan, shaking it upside down, trying to get the bread to slide out. I must have looked like I couldn't handle the situation, because Max comes over and says......

"I think I know what the plobwem is."

"OK Max, what's the problem?"

He replies "It's stuck."

(thank you Captain Obvious)

*****************************************************************

Today is Wednesday, and time for everyone's favorite game!

Word Verification Wednesday!

Go to the comment box, look at the word verification code, make up a definition and leave it in the comments.

It's fun!
It's easy!

Come back often to see the definitions left by others.
Play as many times as you wish!

Previous Word Verification Wednesday posts can be found here.

Have fun!!!!

The missing link???

Tonight our doorbell rang and when we answered it, there was no one there.

Until the big gorilla jumped out from around the side of the house, waved his arms around, screamed, then jumped into a waiting car and sped away.

About 20 minutes later, the above scenario was repeated.

The boys filled a big bucket of water and sat it by the front door, just in case he came back, because gorillas ringing on doorbells after dark deserve a big dousing of water.

They never did come back a third time, so CJ and Aaron went looking for them, accompanied by the huge, bright green paper mache' alien head from CJ's Halloween costume a few years back.

Never a dull moment.

*********************

Today as we were driving in the car, we were listening to Christmas music, and I was singing along to "Let it snow" when Max said "THEY KEEP SAYING LET IT SNOW BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO LET IT SNOW!!!"

********************

Best quote of the day by Aaron "So basically, calories make stuff taste good!"

********************

Max: "Today friend Hunter poked my friend Garrett in the eye!"
Me: "Oh, that's too bad, I'm sure it was just an accident."
Max: "No it wasn't an accident, he meant to do it!"
Me: "Well why would he do that?'
Max: "Because he's mean."
Me: "Do you ever play with Hunter?"
Max: "No!"
Me: "Why not?"
Max: "Because he's MEAN!!"

*************************


I just realized that it's Wednesday, unfortunately, the day is almost over, so just for this week, Word Verification Wednesday will be changed to Word Verification Wednesday/Thursday!

Here's how to play:

1. go to the comment box.
2. look at the stupid word verification code.
3. come up with a (hopefully funny) definition and leave it as a comment.
4. refresh the page and play as often as you wish.

It's a way to make typing in the Word Verification code just a little less annoying.

Word Verification Wednesday

It's Wednesday again, and you know what that means!

It means that my SIL just called me and reminded me that today is Wednesday and to please remember to post the Word Verification game.

Not that I forgot it was Wednesday or anything, I'm pretty sure that I remembered that it's Wednesday, or maybe I didn't. I don't know.
I've had a bunch of work to do so I'm somewhat of sleep deprived and the days are kind of blending together. And Max has been sick and all he wants to do is sleep on my lap.

If you're new to WVW here's how to play.

1. Go to the comment box.

2. Look at the word verification code.

3. Come up with a definition for the word and type it in the comment box.

4. If the word there doesn't inspire you, refresh the page until you get one you like.

5. Play as many times as you want!

6. Come back often to read the comments. You guys are seriously funny.

7. Please, nothing rude, crude or unrefined. Please keep in mind that my kids read my blog.

8. Remember, this is not a competition, it is an exhibition. Please, no wagering.

9. Tell your friends! The more the merrier!

10. Extra points for using exclamation points!!!

11. If you don't want to define a word, feel free to use the comment box to write an essay comparing the air speed velocity of an African Swallow to that of a European Swallow. Be sure to include the number of times that the Swallow will need to beat it's wings per second to be able to maintain the air speed velocity. Extra credit if you explain the weight ratio of each Swallow to a coconut.

Here are a few of my faves from last week.

Regulsat: Describes the people who ALWAYS have to sit it the same regular spot at church.

hadsamb: A dyslexic, depressed baby sheep.

carcuse: It's a phrase that means...you are blaming your car for it.


Have fun guys!!
Remember, the more we can run up my comment count, the better;0)

It's WEDNESDAY and you know what that means??

It's Wednesday, and combined with the fact that I can't think of anything worth writing about, and that I might be trying to avoid doing that load of dishes in the sink, I have decided to bring back everyone's favorite game......

WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!!


Now, if you're new around here, this is how it works.

1. go to the comment box.
2. look at the stupid word verification code.
3. come up with a (hopefully funny) definition and leave it as a comment.
4. refresh the page and play as often as you wish.


Now with every good game must come some rules.

1. Please remember that my kids read my blog. Nothing rude, crude or unrefined.

2. Originally, I did not allow commenters to mock the other commenters, however, people whined and so I lifted that rule and then nobody mocked anyone anyway. I'm not sure why I even brought this up. If you feel the need to mock anyone, go ahead and mock the celebrity of your choice. If you manage to use the word verification code in the celebrity mocking, extra points will be awarded.

3. Remember, this is not a competition, but an exhibition. Please no wagering.




Here are some examples from previous Word Verification Wednesdays, submitted by my very clever readers.............



Regulsat: Describes the people who ALWAYS have to sit it the same regular spot at church.

hadsamb: A dyslexic, depressed baby sheep.

carcuse: It's a phrase that means...you are blaming your car for it.

cheds: "What's the matter with dis chihuahua? It CHEDS!! Chihuahuas aren't supposed to CHED!!"

Gasce - a fancy way to say you just farted.

dionsubi - if Brad Pitt and Madonna ever adopt a child together, I bet that would be his name.

Ratophy: When a Rat loses its muscle tone.

Pariti, the italian accent word for party in english.

Tulingal: someone who talks excessively!

cramiler: a person who squishes lots of things into her closet and also runs a mile every day

Inessess - Max speak for business as in "It is also none of your inessess."

Copap--when you and a girl friend have your GYN appointments together!



Now it's your turn, play as often as you wish!

Milking it and word verification Wednesday

Monday Max had his 4 year old check up with the pediatrician, and you know what that means.

Immunizations.

Poor kid, he didn't even know this was going to happen. He was all cute, giggling as the doctor did her exam and then she walked out and not one but TWO nurses came in the room.
As soon as he saw what was on the tray they carried, he knew what was going on.

We sat him on the exam table and I held his hands and tried to distract him as each nurse quickly gave him two shots in each leg.
His eyes got large and he looked up at me with a panicked look on his face. I thought he was going to cry, but he didn't.

Instead, he got mad.

He just glared at me.

Then he gave the nurses the meanest, maddest, look I've ever seen from him or any kid his age. I could almost see the laser beams shooting out of his eyes at the poor unsuspecting nurses who were at that very time, trying to give him a popcicle.

Max growled "I not want a popcicle."

Nurse #1: "Are you sure buddy? Here's a red one."
Max: "(grrrrrrrrr) I. Not. Want. One."

Nurse #2: "Would you like a sticker? We have Spiderman or Spongebob?"

Max: "No. I. Not. Want. One."

Seriously, if looks could kill....................

I took the popcicle anyway and gave it to him in the car where he finally ate it. (well, some of it, after a good portion had melted down his arm and onto his carseat)

When we got home, he went in his room to play with his cars for a while.
Not too much later I heard him calling to me.
"MOM! MOM! MOM! HELP ME! I NOT CAN GET UP!

I went into his room where he sat, surrounded by cars, reaching up for me to help him. I stood him up and he winced and grabbed his legs.
"MY LEGS ARE HURTING!"

We went through this for the rest of the day. Every time he needed to go somewhere, I needed to help him.
Yesterday morning when my alarm went off, I found Max laying in the doorway to our bedroom.
"I not feel good. I can't know how to walk."
I gave him a warm bath and even carried him around for a while. I finally told him that he would need to start walking because he was going to school today.

"I not go to school! I not feeling good! I can't know how to walk!"

Naturally, me being the mean mom that I am, I took him to school anyway. (while there he seemed to get along just fine)

For the rest of the day he still couldn't use his legs and insisted on being carried everywhere.

This morning when he got up, I asked him how his legs were feeling and he said "They still are hurting."
A few minutes later he walked slowly into the kitchen and said "I have a great idea! We should make some cookies today!"
To which I replied "I don't think we could make cookies while your legs are still so sore."

Max paused for a moment then said "My legs are all better now! They aren't so hurting!" then he walked around the kitchen to show me that they were OK.

Which confirms what I've thought all along.................

A chocolate chip cookie will cure anything.

**************************************************************************

Hey, it's Wednesday and time for everyone's favorite game show (OK, "everyone" might be a bit of an exaggeration)

WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!

The fun game where you go to the comment box, look at the word verification code and make up a definition for the word.

Seriously, it doesn't get any more fun than this!!

Last week, I gave the option of writing a limerick using the word and several of you outdid yourselves.

Way. To. Go!

Feel free to write a limerick again this week, but remember, this is not a competition, it's merely an exhibition, please, no wagering.

And please keep it clean, my kids read my blog.

Why? (And word verification Wednesday)

Can anyone tell me why............

A room can stay in the same state of cluttered disarray with the mess not moving or changing at all for two whole weeks, yet when I get the room clean, it can't stay that way for longer than 2 hours?

I can't remember what someone told me 30 minutes ago, yet I can remember all of the lyrics to a song I heard on the radio 30 years ago?

The girl Scout cookie boxes aren't bigger?

It takes at least two months to lose 10 lbs, yet it only takes one pound of fudge and a weekend to gain it all back?

IT'S STILL SNOWING?????

There are 6 half full/half empty bottles of barbecue sauce in my refrigerator?

Nobody ever cleaned up that can of Dr. Pepper that exploded in the freezer?

Max always asks me to fix peas for dinner, and then NEVER EATS THEM?



*******************************************************************


Today is Wednesday!

WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!!

Go to the comment box, read the word verification code, come up with a definition for the word....................

OK, you guys know how to play, I won't give the rules and instructions again.

Go. Define.

Major slacker and word verification

Last week I was a slacker, and neglected to post Word Verification Wednesday.

Go ahead and define the word verification code in the comment box.

Or, you could just leave a strange comment. The stranger the better, however, I will warn you that my mother always taught me that I should never talk to strangers.

Or, write me a limerick! Bonus points if you use the word verification code in the limerick.

Extra bonus points for mocking celebrities.
Using the word verification.
In a limerick.

I really don't ask much, do I?


As always, please remember, nothing rude, crude or unrefined. My kids read my blog.

Today is Wednesday!

OK, so I can't think of anything to write.

Sad, I know.

Aside from explaining to Max the difference between uncomfortable and comfortable,* the week has been rather uneventful.

*He had the two mixed up, when one of his siblings was sitting on him he kept yelling "Stop it! I'm comfortable! I'm comfortable!" which in itself was actually kind of funny if you were here to see it. Probably not as amusing as when I was four and got "accidentally" and "on purpose" mixed up. I remember once when I accidentally knocked over my cousin, making him cry, and then kept pleading to my mom "But I did it on purpose! Really mom, it was on purpose!"

Anyway, I just looked at my clock and realized that it's Wednesday (I also realized that it's way past my bedtime, and I probably shouldn't have had that extra diet Dr. Pepper after dinner.....)

Not that drinking caffeine in the evening causes me to have a hard time focusing, and makes me unable to finish a complete thought before moving onto another subject, because it totally

See.

So, again, it's Wednesday, and combined with the fact that I can't think of anything worth writing about, and that I might be trying to avoid doing that load of dishes in the sink, I have decided to bring back everyone's favorite game......

WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!!

Now, if you're new around here, this is how it works.
1. go to the comment box.
2. look at the stupid word verification code.
3. come up with a (hopefully funny) definition and leave it as a comment.
4. refresh the page and play as often as you wish.

Now with every good game must come some rules.
1. please remember that my kids read my blog. Nothing rude, crude or unrefined.
2. originally, I did not allow commenters to mock the other commenters, however, people whined and so I lifted that rule and then nobody mocked anyone anyway. I'm not sure why I even brought this up. If you feel the need to mock anyone, go ahead and mock the celebrity of your choice. If you manage to use the word verification code in the celebrity mocking, extra points will be awarded.
3. remember, this is not a competition, but an exhibition. Please no wagering.




Ready, set, GO!

Word Verification Wednesday!

Hey kids! What time is it?

It's time to play EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE GAME!!


DEFINE THAT WORD VERIFICATION WORD!!!!

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's how to play.

1. Go to the comment form.
2. Look at the jumbled letters and try to read them.
3. If they resemble any sort of word whatsoever, leave the word with your idea of it's definition in the comments!

It's just that easy!!!!

If you want to see examples, please go here. (Especially the comments. Really, READ THE COMMENTS! You won't be sorry!)

As always, please remember to follow the rules, which are;

1. Nothing rude, crude or unrefined. Please keep in mind that my kids read my blog.
2. You must use the ACTUAL word, no altering the word (unless it makes it funnier, then it's OK)
3. No mocking of the other contestants. (or me)


I've also decided that you may use words that you have seen while leaving comments on other blogs.
When you see a good WV word, write it down and save it, I plan on doing this every Wednesday!

You are not required to use the first word you get. Refresh as many times as you want!

You may play as many times as you wish. The more times the better!
(seriously, I got 56 comments last week. My self esteem was at an all time high)

I will run the game until Wednesday night.
Check back often to read all the comments. If it's anything like last week, it will be great!

You can tell how excited I am for this by the number of exclamation points I have just used!!

The good news, the bad news and WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!!

The good news is that I currently have a ton of work to do for my business :0)

The bad news is that this has made it so that I have less time for blogging :0(

The good news is that Max is feeling better :0)

The bad news is that he gave all of his germs to me :0(

The good news is that due to my cold, now when I sing, I can hit all the low notes :0)

The bad news is that I still can't sing :0(

The good news is that today I got everything done on my "to do" list :0)

The bad news is that it was yesterday's list :0)

*******************************************************************

Ever since Max was a baby we've called him by his nickname "Pookers. Over the years, we've created several different versions of his nickname, for example Pookydoo, Pookerama, Pooks-a-doodle, Pookernoodle, Pooker-doodle-doo, The Pookernator...........

You get the picture.

Sometimes when we don't want Max to know what we're talking about, we will spell words. Unfortunately, Max has caught on to this and can recognize certain words we spell such as "Max" and "nap" will figure out what I'm saying and then "I NOT TAKE A NAP! I ALSO NOT SLEEPY!!! MY EYES ARE ALSO OPEN!!!!
For a while, we used code words such as "siesta" instead of nap. The kid caught on to that too.

So last week, I started using pig latin.

Today, I needed to run a quick errand and didn't want Max to freak out when he found out I was leaving without him so I asked Brielle to "Atch way the id kay while I oh gay to the ore stay."

Max heard this and said....

"I NOT AN IDKAY!! I'm POOKERAMA!! POOKERAMA!! POOKERAAAAAAAMMMMAAA!!!

I wonder how long it would take him to figure out "Ubbi dubbi"*

**********************************************************************

On another note, do you think that coughing can count as a cardio workout?

**********************************************************************


And now for the game you've all been waiting for!

WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!!!

Go to the comment form, look at the word verification code, come up with a definition for it and type it in the comment box!
It's fun!!

I was disappointed last week that nobody wanted to answer my essay question about the wind speed velocity of an African swallow vs a European swallow.

(sigh)

It's OK. I don't feel too bad.

really.

Today, if you don't feel like defining a WV word, you may leave a comment in pig latin. (however, if anyone leaves a comment in ubbi dubbi, I will not take responsibility for the mocking that is sure to ensue) (I might even participate in said mocking) (In fact, I will probably be the instigator of the mocking)

Ready, Set, GO!




* If you don't recognize this language, then you are just way. Too. Young.

Word Verification Wednesday!

Yes kids, It's that time of week again!

Word Verification Wednesday!!

It's time to give definitions to those strange jumbled letters that some of us mean bloggers make you all type before leaving a comment!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, go here and here and be sure to read the comments.

This week, Damama came up with a new category of defining the words which she calls a Max-ism. For example;

W.V.: LATSTIC - Max-ism: Also my big boy underwares have latstic in them.

Bonus points to anyone who can come up with a Max-ism. The word "also" must be used in the definition/sentence.

Please remember that this is not a competition, but an exhibition. Please, no wagering.
(bonus points to anyone who can tell me where that was from. If you know, you're probably as tired as I am)

The rules are still the same.

1. Nothing rude, crude or unrefined. Please keep in mind that my kids read my blog.
2. You must use the ACTUAL word, no altering the word (unless it makes it funnier, then it's OK)
But then again, if you changed the word, how would anyone know? We'll just have to use the honor system for this one. OK?
(You can, however, refresh the page as many times as you want to get a word that you like.)
3. And yes Jo, there is still no mocking of the other contestants. (or me)

All of you have given some really funny and well thought out definitions, and for that, I thank you!


There you have it kids!

Go forth and define!!

Word Verification Wednesday! It's back!

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means!

It's time for everyone's favorite game.................

Define that word verification word!!!!

If you're new here, this is how to play.

1. Go to the comment form.
2. Look at the jumbled letters and try to read them.
3. If they resemble any sort of word whatsoever, leave the word with your idea of it's definition in the comments!

It's just that easy!!!!

Now with any game, there must be rules.

1. Nothing rude, crude or unrefined. Please remember that my kids read my blog.
2. You must use the ACTUAL word, no altering the word (unless it makes it funnier, then it's OK)
3. It's OK to use a word that you got while leaving a comment on someone else's blog.

I used to have the rule about not mocking the other contestants, but people whined, so I lifted that rule, and then nobody did any mocking anyway. I will let you use your own best judgement on the whole mocking thing.
(But be forewarned, if anyone mocks me, I will make you be the car in Max's new "car wash" game. I hope you like kid spit.)

Here are some examples from last weeks game.

Ratophy: When a Rat loses its muscle tone.
pariti, the italian accent word for party in english.
Tulingal: someone who talks excessively!
cramiler: a person who squishes lots of things into her closet and also runs a mile every day
Inessess - Max speak for business as in "It is also none of your inessess."


If you get a word that doesn't inspire you, refresh the page until you get one that you like.

Come back often to see what the other contestants have come up with. You guys are funny!

Bonus points if you are able to use the word "also" in your definition.

Ready! ................Set! ....................GO!!!

Teeth, cookie monsters and WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!!!

GOOD NEWS!!!

Our insurance company and Oral surgeon's office have communicated sufficiently to allow CJ to have his surgery on Friday!

Yipee!

The only problem is that the insurance still says that they won't pay for the anesthesia.

We told CJ that if he gets all of his homework done this week, we will pay for him to have anesthesia during the surgery.

Change of subject.

Yesterday, Max walked into the room sobbing. Tears were running down his cheeks, and he was clutching a box of girl scout cookies.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
He turned the box upside down to show me that it was empty, and then sobbed "I was COOKIE HUNGRY, and they ATE ALL THE COOKIES!!!"

Poor Max.

(I have to admit that I was feeling a bit bad about it myself)

I had one box of cookies left, so I went to my super secret hiding place and got the Thin Mints.
The other kids (who seem to have some sort of sixth sense when it comes to knowing when a box of cookies is open) came into the room. I told Max that we needed to share.

So Max, my little cookie monster, held the box of cookies and tried to keep the kids from eating any until I told him that he wouldn't get any cookies unless he sharedvery graciously handed out the cookies to his siblings, one at a time, while eating as many as he could in between.
He looked really cute with all the chocolate smeared all over his face.

Another change of subject.

Today is Wednesday, and time again to come up with some definitions for those pesky word verification codes.

If you're new here, here's how to play.
Go to the comment box, read the word verification code and leave a comment giving me your definition for the word.

Play as often as you wish. The more the better!

If you don't like the word you got, refresh the page until you get one that you like.
Check back often to read what others have come up with.

Have fun!

Word Verfication Thursday .....because I forgot today was Wednesday

Last night I was tired and couldn't think of anything to write. Since NaBloPoMo was over, I felt no obligation to come up with something.

So I didn't write anything.

This morning I thought "I sure would like to write something, but I have no idea what to write."

So I didn't write anything.

This afternoon, Max did something funny, but I couldn't think of a way to write about it and have it be as funny as it was in person.

So I didn't write anything.

A few minutes ago I was thinking "I really wish I had something to write. It will be nice when it's Wednesday so I can do Word Verification Wednesday.................."

So here it is, mere minutes before Wednesday is over.

If you've been living without internet access for the last month, here is how to play.

1. Go to the comment box
2. Look at the jumbled letters of the word verification code.
3. Create your own definition and leave it as a comment.
4. Bonus points if you use it in a sentence.
5. More bonus points if you use the word "also" in the sentence.

The rules
1. Nothing rude crude or unrefined. Remember, my kids read my blog.

And as a special treat to those who keep whining...............

Just for today,

Mocking of the other contestants answers is allowed!!!

You may play as often as you wish!!!


Ready,


Set,



GO!

I know you are, but what am I? (and Word verification Wednesday)

Congratulations to Jessica G who was the first one to correctly guess the title of the movie that Max currently has memorized.

Pee Wee's big Adventure!



Yesterday, Max was running around the house, tripped and fell, then stood up and said "I meant to do that."



Good times.

And Max's favorite part of the movie. (Go to 1:24)



CJ was kind enough to point out that I actually misquoted several of the quotes I wrote in my post yesterday.
I guess if I hadn't had to drop everything I was doing to take a certain someone's trumpet to them at school (due to the fact that this person forgot to take the trumpet to school with them, even though it was sitting in plain sight right where this person always sits the trumpet) I might have been able to be more accurate in my quoting of the movie.

(Seriously CJ, I had to drag an unwilling Max away from watching the movie. You owe me big time!)

********************************************************************************


Today is Wednesday!

Time to play Word Verification Wednesday!

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with this week!

And now, the famous "Tequila" dance.

Word verification Wednesday

HEY!!



IT'S WEDNESDAY!!


Word verification Wednesday.




Ready,




Set,




DEFINE!

Word verification Wednesday!

I still don't have full internet access.

However, due to fact that it is Wednesday, I decided not to ruin the fun for everyone else, so here it is guys!

Word Verification Wednesday!!!

Go ahead and play the game without me.


It's OK, really.

Don't worry about me.




I'll be fine.





Probably.

It's THREE! THREE! THREE posts in one!

#1. Quote of the week by Max............

"Hey Mom! Come and see what I made in my room! Hurry! Hurry!
Come and see it, it's NOT DANGEROUS!"


#2. Wordless Wednesday.


Before you ask anything about this photo, my answer is I DON'T KNOW!!
Seriously, this is why I posted the photo for wordless Wednesday, I can't find any words to explain it.

#3. Due to the overwhelming requests that I bring it back,* here it is, back by popular demand!**

WORD VERIFICATION WEDNESDAY!

For those of you that are new here, (or those of you with memory issues) here's how to play.
#1. Go to the comment box.
#2. Look at that annoying word verification code.
#3. Make up a definition for the WV word and leave it in a comment.

It's just that easy!
Please remember to keep it clean as my children do read my blog.

Keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times and HAVE FUN!!!

* Nobody actually requested that I bring back WVW, I'm sure everyone wanted to, they just got busy.
**Nobody popular demanded that I bring back WVW either.

Just try to make sense of this post. I dare you.

Not much happening around here as of late. (which should explain the lack of blog posting on my part)
Every once and a while I get a great idea of something to write about, but by the time I get to the computer, I forget. Yes, I know, I should write down my idea as soon as it pops into my head, and I would, IF I COULD EVER FIND A PEN THAT WORKS!

And paper to write on.

Actually, we have plenty of paper, it's piled all over my kitchen. It's mostly the lack of working pens in my house that keeps me from writing anything down.

I once wrote down a phone message on a nursing pad with a crayon.

(seriously, I did!) But that was a long time ago, and we haven't had a nursing pad in the house for years.

The main thing happening right now is that my tooth/teeth are really hurting. I've been to the dentist multiple times because of the pain in my teeth. I've had so many x-rays that I'm surprised that the left side of my face isn't glowing.

They can never find anything wrong.

So now I'm faced with a dilema. Do I rearrange my schedule to find time to go to the dentist and have even more x-rays taken, just to have him tell me once again that there's nothing wrong or just continue to tough it out with my Costco sized bottle of ibuprofen.

I'm a little concerned about the warning on the label on the ibuprofen that says you shouldn't take it longer than a certain amount of days. I'm pretty sure that if I exceed the maximum amount of days for the ibuprofen, I will probably grow an extra arm or something.

But then again, an extra arm could come in handy.

Think of how much more I could accomplish!!

I could type and eat at the same time!
I can talk on my cell phone, put on lipstick and still keep one hand on the steering wheel!

But I might look kind of weird, and I would start to see my picture on the cover of the tabloids as I wait in line at the supermarket.
But then I would get a phone call from the producer of the Jerry Springer show! They would fly me to their studio and I would get to appear on TV!
While on the plane, I could impress my fellow passengers by being able to buckle my seatbelt and put my tray table back into it's original upright position AT THE SAME TIME!

But then I would get to the Jerry Springer show and some guy with one tooth would rip off his shirt and throw a chair at me.

Maybe Oprah would have me on her show! I could jump on her couch and tell her how much I love having a third arm.
But what if it turns out that my extra arm is another left arm?

I'm right handed.

That could be a problem.



Last night, I made some cookies to help motivate the kids to finish their homework ("OK kids, get the first page of homework done and you can sniff a cookie, the second page, you can lick a cookie, but you must have all of the homework done before you can actually eat a cookie!")
When I took the cookies out of the oven, Aaron asked me "Will there be enough cookies left tomorrow so that we can eat them while we're watching "The Biggest Loser"?

(Now, I don't want to get any rude emails telling me that I shouldn't be using bribery to get my kids to do their homework. Bribery is such an ugly word. I prefer using the word "incentive" Instead of it being a situation where I say "'I'll give this to you if you do your homework" It's more "When you finish your homework, you may have this" See, it's totally different)



Today, Max asked me which finger he should use to put inside his nose. I told him he shouldn't put any of them in his nose, but eventually, we settled on his pinky finger.



Hey, I just realized that it's Wednesday!

Word Verification Wednesday!

I'm not going to explain how to play. Ask the other contestants.




(OK, look at the word verification code, and create a definition for it in the comments. Refresh the page as many times as you want)
(And remember, the only way you can lose this game is to not play)
(come on people, it's like a service project. You give me a funny or well thought out definition, and I laugh, thus causing me to forget the stabbing pain in my tooth)

And to my new lurker from Portland Maine.
Welcome.
I'll give you a nickel if you leave a comment.





I only had three hours of sleep last night, can you tell?

It's Wednesday again

Yes friends, it's been a whole week and now it's time for everybody's favorite game,

Word Verification Wednesday!

Where we take something as annoying as typing those silly word verification codes and turn it into a fun game!

It's like we're taking lemons and making lemonade!


Here are some examples from last week.

cheds: "What's the matter with dis chihuahua? It CHEDS!! Chihuahuas aren't supposed to CHED!!"

Gasce - a fancy way to say you just farted.

dionsubi - if Brad Pitt and Madonna ever adopt a child together, I bet that would be his name.

Copap--when you and a girl friend have your GYN appointments together!

You guys are funny!

Remember, play as many times as you wish. If you get a word you don't like, just refresh the page until you get one that you're happy with.

Have Fun!!
