Another weird one for you

Normally when I post I have some cute antidote of the kids to tell or I've been questioning myself and writing about it. But recently when I'm trying to think of something clever to post....I draw a blank. Alas, today I got nuthin'. Well, I have somethin', it just may not be clever. Heh.

I LOVE words. There are SO many. I think I'll write a book someday with all the amazing words contained in it. Wait. Isn't there already one of those in circulation? Oh yeah. I remember now. Dictionary. =]

This is one word that caught my attention today: insalubrious; adj. Not promoting health; unwholesome.
As in "I'm trying to combat an insalubrious lifestyle."

Anyway.....that's all she wrote folks.

P.S. Oh, there is something else. We're moving on the 3rd so we're packing, cleaning and registering for the new school! Maybe that's why my brain cannot think of a smart post? It's pregnant with this transition. No, I'M NOT pregnant. =D Peace. Out.

I gesticulate

I am one of the quirkiest people I know. The kids remind me of that fact many, MANY times a week. *smile*

One of my many quirks is vocabulary. I LOVE hearing, reading and using interesting words (I don't always use them correctly and that makes Ben laugh). Even if they seem strange or unpopular or if they seem like, by the sound of them, they mean something they don't.

Kind'a like the word in my title. Gesticulate. It sounds mechanical or.....shall I say.....inappropriate some how. Yet the definition is "To make gestures, esp. while speaking." So, since I gesticulate would I be considered a gesticulator? Yeah. It sounds weird. REALLY weird. Inhumanly so.

And moving on....

I realized last night that I never posted the link to our fall photo shoot. I will as well as a few from this morning. The kids and I made a breakfast casserole and they chopped, grated and measured right along with me. It was a fun morning!

Our photo shoot.

Joey looks incoherent in this one!
