It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these. I hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
Last night one, or both, of our cats, Sage and Charlie, busted into the catnip stash. I’m gobsmacked that no matter how much I question them, neither will lift a paw to rat out the other. They don’t always get along. More solid than Canadian soil in February, those two. I managed to intervene before either one could eat too much. Though I swear I caught Sage grinning at me like the Cheshire Cat. 🤨🤪😂
When you forget to tip the snowplow driver.
That goes double if you drink from this mug! 🙂
Happy Saturday! Sheesh! The kids are having a four-day weekend. Yesterday
was unplanned, as Mother Nature treated us with a wee but of freezing rain.
Monday is Family Day, here in Ontario, and several other Canadian provinces.
My oldest daughter, Amanda, turns 16 on February 22. Wait? What happened to
that toddler who used to waddle around like a starfish in her snowsuit, and
LOVED, Dora The Explorer?
But like time, I must press on, because yours is valuable and I just know
you’re dying to know the answers to these crazy words. It’s not all fun and
games on this blog; you are about to learn some highly transferable
wordsmithing here. Pshaw! No . . . it’s fun and games.

First up, we have the one that would get the best reaction should you ever decide to call someone it. Have your cell phone camera ready, because the face may look something like this:
FARTLEK: A: an activity runners do when they switch between sprinting and jogging
Did you get that one? I mean; how did they come up with that? Maybe the certain displacement of gases produced by the runner’s efforts? 🙂
Next up, we have Bumber Shoot: C: umbrella
What a downer, unless it’s raining. I was expecting some voracious carnivore of a weed, launching up from a jungle floor to snatch unsuspecting prey.
Ummm . . . moving on. Do you think the woman in the photo below just might be an
Abecedarian?
NOPE! Unless she’s a C: anyone currently learning the alphabet
“Hey! Are you calling me a skirl?”
“We’d never dream of it, Betty, um, I mean, Sparkle Twirl.” (Ya, I don’t get the nickname, either, I think she gave it to herself.)
SKIRL = A: the loud wailing sound produced by bagpipes
So there you have it! Go forth and use these words liberally, in whatever context you’d like, for not many will know what the heck you’re talking about!
Be Encouraged And Have A Blessed Day!
Oh, and there’s also one that’s fallen over.
