Boggle Gobble

"Gobble, gobble," from Irene
So long absent from the scene.

The time to blog is scarce these days.
No time for lounging in my chaise.

My "to-do" list is like a scroll.
Afraid the stress would take a toll...

I found an on-line Boggle site.
A chance to show the world my might!

A humbling move, I must admit.
I'm not so good. I feel like shit.

Those wordsmiths out in Cyberspace
Have put a frown upon my face.

Thanksgiving tidings to you all.
Enjoy your tender Butterball.

Borat and Boggle

Well, we're back from our short getaway and so is our lil' fur muffin, Haley dog. If you recall, she spent four days chillin' at Suburban Warrior's crib. So a big shout out to my girl SW for taking wonderful care of our beloved family pet. Respect!

Has anyone seen "Borat"...other than my parents? I really want to see it, so I guess I'll be heading out solo to my local cinema. I tried arranging a girls' movie night two weeks ago to see The Queen. No takers. It's actually getting comical--me trying to organize "friends" to go out. Maybe it's time to join Netflix. Or clean my vagina.

But even if I have no friends, there is a very special something about me that I'd like to share. NOBODY BEATS ME AT BOGGLE. At the beach, I played against a bevy of opponents and became so bored with my staggering wins that I finally suggested trying to beat their scores collectively. I did. Then we tried giving me 1.5 minutes instead of the 3 minutes all the other players were allowed. I still won handedly. Yawn. I need some real competition. Bring it on.

This is basically what you look like when you receive a Thai massage. 90 minutes of being manipulated into some very startling shapes. It was with some hestitancy that I scheduled the massage. I had heard mixed reviews about it. My brother, who is a bit of a pansy, hated it...likened it to being in a torture chamber. My sister-in-law, who adores yoga, loved it. Irene's always up for an adventure, so I took the risk and have to say...thumbs up!

I have a busy day ahead, but I wanted to give my readers fair warning. The family canine is headed to Suburban Warrior's for a brief stay while we sojourn to the Outer Banks. During ths time, SW will undoubtedly post disparaging words about our lil' furry bitch. I wouldn't be leaving her there if I wasn't truly desperate because reading the slander is always very painful. So, please, readers, do not encourage her hate-filled words with comments. On second thought, maybe she'll be too busy picking up the poop to post at all!
