Sigh....
We used our Groupon for the Melting Pot today and had really yummy cheese fondue followed by wine fondue followed by chocolate fondue. We had to have all three courses because I wanted cheese and K wanted chocolate.
Am stuffed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Motherfuckers. The credit card payment that I fucked up last week? The direct payment they were going to take out of our account failed (even though the guy had the information and we confirmed it). Did they notify us? NO. So now they've slapped a late charge on it and a returned payment fee.
Their "24-hour service"? Closed. I am livid.

that's ridiculous, Dana.
This is what happens to me in scrabble. 3 way game I got a good 7 letter word. then S gets a7 letter word. My sister breaks down and uses 'fuck' Which is worth mega points. I have a bunch of vowels, but eke out a triple word score to maintain my lead. Now my letters read:
i u u i o e a
argh!
eta: thanks david

Pretty sure that's an island in the Pacific.
Psst! It's "eke."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My seven letter word across two double word scores was SMEGMAS. I fail to have the polish my sister does, but I can get the work done. She's all "I hope you feel better now." Pfah. She'll still beat me. I'm the queen of losing after a big open. So bad at the strong finish. It's why I only play with her.

Psst! It's "eke."
Perhaps she said "eek" when she got the triple-word score.

eek was how I was feeling when I saw 7 vowels pop up on my screen. I've beat my sister J a few times, But her friend S is just good. My sister and I played boggle with her on Thanksgiving. Once in awhile I'd see a word she wouldn't see, but I always missed the obvious combos.

I've always wanted to be good at Scrabble but apparently my talents are elsewhere. Ah well. Hope I find them some day.

I'm terrible at Scrabble (and spelling) because I'm one of those people that learned to read whole words instead of sounding them out. I will play for someone temporarily while they pee, but other than that, it's a bloodbath. See also, backgammon. Cribbage, on the other hand. . .
I do not have to work today, and I am hoping that the nanny's street is plowed and she can watch the baby this morning while I run the dog. Running the dog with the baby in the Ergo is not fun on slippery sidewalks and unplowed fields. See also, shoveling.
My DH is going to owe me big time for this trip he's on.
