Even being the word nerd I am, I never really bothered to figure out gray versus grey. When I write grey feels more natural to me; no idea why. Tonight I finally googled it and found, they really are interchangeable. Gray is more common in the United States, where grey is more common in theContinue reading “Gray or Grey- Crayon day #7”

Word of the month: Apt
I am a self-confessed word nerd. I don’t use uncommon words in an attempt to sound smart. I enjoy the English language and the words that we have to choose from.

Word of the Month: Epicure
I am a foodie. There’s no doubt about that. At the moment, I’m a food snob in a barren wasteland of deep fried fat and white bread. I’ve been slow to find other foodies.

Are conundrums the same as doldrums? Where am I going with this rambling rant of non-sensical drivel?Continue reading “What a conundrum…”
the Bitter truth
I hate to confess, but this month’s B word is not what I wanted it to be. But it is what it is… I have had four of the most fun filled days and while I have spent weeks pondering, deliberating, and discussing what my B word should be this month, it just came toContinue reading “the Bitter truth”
Word of the Month… A
One of the things I love about weekends are sitting on my patio, drinking my coffee, and watching the birds that bounce around the trees. Much to my horror, I came home one evening recently to find the four trees closest to my patio were gone. Evidently the storm that hit earlier in the dayContinue reading “Word of the Month… A”
