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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Wish me luck, I'm making an attempt to put in a half day in office.
Good luck sara!
I've got a phone interview in a little while, and then I'm going to see if I can get into my office to get some stuff to work on at home.
Now, I play a pretty decent game of Backgammon. The kids play too, though we rarely play together unless we are at my dad's.
Happy Birthday, Suzi!!
Made it to work, so today is already better than yesterday. Also got my DD coffee, so better on 2 counts already.
My boss has checked out of this job mentally, it is not even funny. I am so glad I am on vacation next week.
Timelies all!
Managed to make it downtown last night to see the stage adaptation of Terry Pratchett's "Nation". Actually, it was a silmulcast of the production in London. Very nice.
I wonder if I'll actually have work this week. I'm taking Friday off to fly to Boston. (yes we're keeping a close eye on the airline/airport situation)
Yay work and DD coffee, msbelle! Hmmm. I am not sure if Yay work! is the best sentiment.
I am horrible, horrible, horrible at scrabble, although it never occurred to me that reading the whole word rather than sounding it out might be why. Actually, I don't even know if I get how sounding out a word teaches you to read, just how to pronounce something. Hmmm.
I also think I might hab a cold.
