A B C D E F G.......
So, when Brico asks if anyone wants to play, of course any living, breathing woman of sound (?) mind says, "Hell yeah!" He handed out letters to all willing participants and I waved my hand frantically and got the letter A. I don't think I was first in line....I actually think he is such a popular guy that he worked his way through the alphabet and had to start again.
Anyway, here's how it goes...Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. On your blog, write ten words that begin with that letter and include an explanation of what the word means to you and why. Pass out letters to those who want to play along!

Here's mine...

A is for....
Anton: My step daughter's sweet angel son that was born last month with mountain size challenges. We love you sweet boy!

Awesome: The word I use far too much but which puts a huge smile on the face of a second grader when used to describe their work. Nothing like a big thumbs up and "AWESOME!" I bet we wouldn't mind hearing that from our bosses on a regular basis!

Audition: *gasp* *cough* *swoon* *hack* Just the word takes my breath away! As much as I love singing and performing, I HATE solo auditions!

Athletic: So, the mini-goddess has become a prize-winning competitive Irish Dancer, which we consider athletic, but just in case others don't, she has become a shot put and discus thrower this Spring, headed for the All-City meet! U of O, watch out!

Aspen: Good goddess!!! Have you seen this child?? She is Brico's lovely daughter. And if the flaming, red hair and sweet smile is not enough, the child is a talented artist and witty as can be! Love that girl!

A**hole: O.K. I am spilling it here in public! That is the word of choice (well, maybe not choice, since it just flies out all by itself), used when some a**hole fails to yeild, tailgates or does some other a**hole thing that put me and my daughter in harms way. Funny, it only flies out in the car?!

Andrea: As in Bocelli! It would be enough just to sit and gaze at that man....but NO, he has to open his mouth and sing and completely crush us. Then, just to make it MORE painful, he has to do it in Italian!

Australia: In keeping with the theme of gorgeous men with accents....must get to Australia some day to hang out by the barbee with lovely men with lovely accents! Then swing by the rugby field to drink massive amounts of ale and watch the big, hunky guys in their little shorts! (This was YOUR idea, Brico!)

Amniocentesis: Yeah, I know, really weird. But, I have always loved this word. NOT the definition, just the word. Don't know why...it just kind of sounds cool...yep, I have always wanted to talk like the t.v. docs as they reel off orders in the ER.

Avoid: I have always avoided mean people, conflict and stupid-by-choice people! Maybe because I was raised to always "be nice"...which I somehow translated into putting up with crap! Now that I have gotten over that, I now only avoid situations I can do nothing to change. Things I can change, I try to deal with head-on.

O.K. so there it is......wanna play???
